Problems solved by technology

Although its specific mechanism has not been studied clearly, the ApoE-mediated increase of Aβ levels in the brain at least suggests that there is a dysfunction in the clearance of Aβ cells

Embodiment 1

[0199] Example 1, NG2 cells are activated around amyloid plaques

[0200] The brain tissue sections (brain slices) of 14-month-old APPswe / PS1 transgenic mice (JacksonLab, clone number 004462) and control mice without APPswe / PS1 transgene (C57BL / 6J*C3H / HeJ) were obtained, and the NG2 cells of the cerebral cortex were analyzed. Immunohistochemical staining and plaque thioflavin-S staining. NG2-positive cells were uniformly distributed in the cerebral cortex of control mice, but gathered around amyloid plaques in APPswe / PS1 transgenic mice, as shown in figure 1 A-B are shown.

Embodiment 2

[0201] Example 2, NG2 cells are a new cell type that gathers around amyloid plaques

[0202] Immunohistochemical staining of the cerebral cortex of APPswe / PS1 transgenic mice. Such as figure 2 , Thioflavin-S staining for amyloid plaques, Iba1 for microglia, GFAP for astrocytes, and NeuN for neurons. The results showed that Iba1-positive microglia and GFAP-positive astrocytes gathered around the amyloid plaques, while there were no NeuN-positive neurons at the location of the amyloid plaques.

[0203] Immunohistochemical double labeling was performed on the cerebral cortex of APPswe / PS1 transgenic mice. The cerebral cortex was double-labeled with NG2 and GFAP, NeuN or Iba1. The result is as image 3 , showing that NG2-positive cells did not co-localize with GFAP-positive astrocytes, NeuN-positive neurons and Iba1-positive microglia. The results demonstrated that NG2 cells are a new cell type that aggregates around amyloid plaques, where they are activated.

Embodiment 3

[0204] Example 3, primary NG2 cells and oli-neu cell lines can phagocytize Aβ

[0205] The primary NG2 cells and Oli-neu cells were seeded on slides in a 24-well plate, cultured for 18 hours, and then incubated with 2 μM fluorescently-labeled (HiLyteFluor488-labeled) Aβ for 24 hours. Cell immunofluorescence staining with NG2 antibody was performed after the cells were fixed. The result is as Figure 4 A-B, showing that Aβ can be phagocytosed into the somata of primary NG2 cells and Oli-neu cells.

Abstract

The invention relates to a cell for removing amyloid polypeptide and a use thereof. The invention first discloses that the NG2 cell can be activated by A beta and phagocytose A beta. The NG2 cell can be used as a pharmaceutical target for researching and screening a drug for activation or promotion of NG2 phagocytosis on A beta. The NG2 cell provides an effective approach for treating neurodegenerative diseases caused by excess A beta in the brain.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the fields of cell biology and pharmacy; more specifically, the invention relates to cells for clearing amyloid polypeptides and applications thereof. Background technique [0002] Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia. There are three major features in neuropathology: amyloid plaques deposited outside cells; neurofibrillary tangles inside cells; and neuronal death in specific brain regions. Amyloid β polypeptide (Aβ) is the main component of amyloid plaques, which is a natural metabolite formed by amyloid precursor protein (APP) through cleavage catalyzed by different endoproteases. There are three proteases involved in the cleavage process of APP, which are called α-secretase, β-secretase and γ-secretase according to the order of discovery of their cleavage sites. The cleavage process of APP can be divided into amyloid pathway and non-amyloid pathway. The main amyloid pathway is that β-secretase firs...
