Título: | Amyloid beta oligomers induce neuronal elasticity changes in age-dependent manner: A force spectroscopy study on living hippocampal neurons |
Autor: | Ungureanu, Andreea-Alexandra; Benilova, Iryna Olga; Braeken, Dries; Strooper, Bart de; Van Haesendonch, Chris; Dotti, Carlos G. CSIC ORCID; Bartic, Carmen | Fecha de publicación: | 13-may-2016 | Editor: | Nature Publishing Group | Citación: | Scientific Reports 6 (2016) | Resumen: | Small soluble species of amyloid-beta (Aβ) formed during early peptide aggregation stages are responsible for several neurotoxic mechanisms relevant to the pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD), although their interaction with the neuronal membrane is not completely understood. This study quantifies the changes in the neuronal membrane elasticity induced by treatment with the two most common Aβ isoforms found in AD brains: Aβ40 and Aβ42. Using quantitative atomic force microscopy (AFM), we measured for the first time the static elastic modulus of living primary hippocampal neurons treated with pre-aggregated Aβ40 and Aβ42 soluble species. Our AFM results demonstrate changes in the elasticity of young, mature and aged neurons treated for a short time with the two Aβ species pre-aggregated for 2 hours. Neurons aging under stress conditions, showing aging hallmarks, are the most susceptible to amyloid binding and show the largest decrease in membrane stiffness upon Aβ treatment. Membrane stiffness defines the way in which cells respond to mechanical forces in their environment and has been shown to be important for processes such as gene expression, ion-channel gating and neurotransmitter vesicle transport. Thus, one can expect that changes in neuronal membrane elasticity might directly induce functional changes related to neurodegeneration. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/150548 | DOI: | 10.1038/srep25841 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1038/srep25841 issn: 2045-2322 |
