Multivalent binding of complement protein C1Q to the amyloid beta-peptide (A beta) promotes the nucleation phase of A beta aggregation.

Abstract:

:Activation of the classical complement pathway has been proposed as a mechanism of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease. This activation is a result of the binding of C1q to amyloid beta-peptide (A beta). Recent work has shown that A beta/C1q binding has an additional consequence: enhanced formation of the neurotoxic, fibrillar, cross beta-pleated A beta configuration. Here we show that C1q enhances A beta aggregation at physiologically relevant, nanomolar concentrations of the peptides, and demonstrate that the kinetics of this enhancement are consistent with a nucleating interaction. We also show that the intact, multimeric structure of C1q, which offers multiple A beta binding sites spaced at 2-3 nm intervals, is required.

  • The transcription factor MEF2C mediates cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by IGF-1 signaling.

    abstract::Myocyte enhancer factor 2C (MEF2C) plays an important role in cardiovascular development and is a key transcription factor for cardiac hypertrophy. Here, we describe MEF2C regulation by insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and its role in IGF-1-induced cardiac hypertrophy. We found that IGF-1 addition to cultured rat ...
