Definitions
- the present invention relates to a composition for inhibiting amyloid ⁇ accumulation.
- Amyloid beta (A ⁇ ) is a type of protein produced in the brain. When amyloid beta aggregates and becomes oligomerized or fibrillated, it exhibits neurotoxicity. Furthermore, aggregated amyloid beta accumulates without being excreted from the brain, and is thought to trigger the onset of Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, inhibiting the accumulation of amyloid beta is thought to be effective, for example, in preventing Alzheimer's disease or inhibiting the progression of the disease.
- Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are known as medicines that improve the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase increases the amount of acetylcholine in the brain and is effective in slowing the progression of cognitive decline. However, acetylcholinesterase inhibition cannot remove accumulated amyloid beta. There is a demand for substances that can be ingested daily as food or beverages and that can suppress the accumulation of amyloid beta.
- Patent Document 1 describes the combination of Zn and Cyclo(His-Pro) to suppress the accumulation of amyloid ⁇ . However, no effect of Cyclo(His-Pro) alone is disclosed.
- the present invention aims to provide a novel composition for inhibiting amyloid- ⁇ accumulation.

In vitroアッセイを使用して、アミロイドβの蓄積に対するCyclo(Gly-Pro)(CGP)及びCyclo(His-Pro)(CHP)の効果を調べた。アッセイには、スウェーデン二重変異K595N/M596Lを有するアミロイド前駆体タンパク質野生型を過剰発現するH4神経膠腫細胞(H4-hAPP細胞)を使用した。
H4-hAPP細胞におけるアミロイドβの蓄積に対するCGP及びCHPの効果を評価するために、未処理の細胞(ビヒクルコントロール)とCGP処理細胞及びCHP処理細胞とを比較した。
試薬及び細胞は、下記のものを使用した。
Gibco Opti-MEMTM I Reduced Serum Medium (Opti-MEM)(細胞培養培地)、ウシ胎児血清(FCS)、ペニシリン/ストレプトマイシン(P/S)、ハイグロマイシンB及びブラストサイジンS塩酸塩は、Thermo Fischer Scientific社製を用いた。
MSD(登録商標) 96-well MULTISPOT(登録商標) 6E10 Abeta Triplex Assay kit(アミロイドβ検出キット)はMeso Scale Discovery社製を用いた。
N-[N-(3,5-ジフルオロフェナセチル-L-アラニル)]-S-フェニルグリシン-t-ブチルエステル(DAPT、γ-セクレターゼ阻害剤)は、Calbiochem社製を用いた。
CGP及びCHPは、Bachem社製を用いた。
H4-hAPP細胞は、スウェーデン二重変異K595N/M596Lを有するヒトアミロイド前駆体タンパク質695(APP695)を含むpAG3ベクターによるH4神経膠腫細胞の安定導入(stable transfection)によって得た。pAG3ベクターは、融合されたサイトメガロウイルス(CMV)とニワトリβ-アクチンプロモーターの制御下に導入遺伝子を有するハイグロマイシンB耐性カセットを含む改変pcDNA3プラスミドである。
H4-hAPP細胞は、10%FCS、1%P/S、200μg/mLのハイグロマイシンB及び2.5μg/mLのブラストサイジンS塩酸塩を添加したOpti-MEM中で維持した。細胞を、25,000細胞/ウェルの密度で96ウェルプレートに播種し、5%CO2を含む加湿ガスチャンバー内で、37℃で一晩インキュベートした。翌日、7.5mg/mLのCGP(実施例1)又は31μg/mLのCHP(実施例2)でH4-hAPP細胞を処理した。陽性対照として、400nMのDAPTでH4-hAPP細胞を処理した。24時間処理した後、アミロイドβ分析のために細胞培養上清を収集した。
収集した細胞培養上清を1:10に希釈し、6E10 Abeta Triplex Assay kitを用いてヒトアミロイドβ1-38(Aβ1-38)、ヒトアミロイドβ1-40(Aβ1-40)、及びヒトアミロイドβ1-42(Aβ1-42)を分析した。マルチプレックスアッセイは製造元の指示に従って実行され、プレートをSector Imager 2400(Meso Scale Discovery社製)で読み取った。アミロイドβの濃度は、標準曲線を参照して計算した。マルチプレックスキットの感度は<5pg/mLであった。
Prismバージョン5.0(GraphPad社製)を使用して統計分析を実施した。すべての結果は、平均±標準偏差として表した。統計分析は、分散分析(ANOVA)により行い、その後事後Tukeyの多重比較検定によって実行した。p値がp<0.05の場合、データは有意であると見なした。
値は平均値±標準偏差(n=6)を表す。***は、未処理のビヒクルコントロールに対してp<0.001の有意差を示す。Controlはビヒクルコントロールであり、DAPTは陽性対照である。
