a(CHEBI:curcumin) decreases a(HBP:HBP00092) View Subject | View Object

In vitro studies have shown that curcumin inhibited the formation of fibrils and disaggregated amyloid-beta and a-syn [112, 114, 155]. PubMed:28803412

. Multiple lines of evidence now suggest that oligomeric species of a-syn, which are thought to precede the fibrillar aggregates found in Lewy bodies, are the culprits for neuronal degeneration in Parkinson’s disease PubMed:28803412

Increasing amounts of fibrils and a concomitant decrease in the amount of oligomeric species were observed upon longer incubation times (Supplementary Fig. S1). PubMed:27075649

In contrast, a-syn 30–110 that forms fibrils at a fast rate, did not display toxicity, indicating that oligomers are indeed the toxic species leading to TH-neuron loss in vivo [162]. PubMed:28803412

1 nM (Fig. 3a, right panels and Fig. 3b, red curve, solid line) and 0.2 nM α -syn fibrils (Fig. 3b, red curve, dashed line) induced a progressive and significant increase of intracellular Ca2+ levels, as revealed by the rise of Fluo-4 fluorescence in exposed SH-SY5Y cells. In contrast, only a modest Ca2+ increase was observed in cells exposed to 300 nM on-fibrillar assembly pathway oligomeric α -syn (Fig. 3a, middle panels and Fig. 3b, blue curve, solid line) or 10 μM monomeric α -syn (Fig. 3a, left panels and Fig. 3b, black curve, solid line).

α -syn fibrils revealed to be highly toxic to cells at all the concentrations we tested, spanning 1 to 0.01 nM (53.4 ± 4% inhibition of MTT reduction at 0.01 nM, i.e. 0.1 μM equivalent monomer concentration) whereas α -syn oligomers only slightly impaired cell viability (23.9 ± 6% inhibition of MTT reduction at 300 nM, i.e. 10 μM initial monomer concentration) (Fig. 3c).

The high proportion of cells with overlapping ChFP and ATTO-488 puncta (89 ± 7% upon cell exposure to 0.06 nM ATTO-488-labeled α -syn fibrils, Fig. 6f) indicates that α -syn fibrils seed with high efficiency the aggregation of soluble cytoplasmic ChFP-α -syn. PubMed:27075649
