The misfolding and aggregation of amyloid-? (A?) peptides into amyloid fibrils is
regarded as one of the causative events in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's
disease (AD). Tanshinones extracted from Chinese herb Danshen (Salvia
Miltiorrhiza Bunge) were traditionally used as anti-inflammation and
cerebrovascular drugs due to their antioxidation and antiacetylcholinesterase
effects. A number of studies have suggested that tanshinones could protect
neuronal cells. In this work, we examine the inhibitory activity of tanshinone I
(TS1) and tanshinone IIA (TS2), the two major components in the Danshen herb, on
the aggregation and toxicity of A?1-42 using atomic force microscopy (AFM),
thioflavin-T (ThT) fluorescence assay, cell viability assay, and molecular
dynamics (MD) simulations. AFM and ThT results show that both TS1 and TS2 exhibit
different inhibitory abilities to prevent unseeded amyloid fibril formation and
to disaggregate preformed amyloid fibrils, in which TS1 shows better inhibitory
potency than TS2. Live/dead assay further confirms that introduction of a very
small amount of tanshinones enables protection of cultured SH-SY5Y cells against
A?-induced cell toxicity. Comparative MD simulation results reveal a general
tanshinone binding mode to prevent A? peptide association, showing that both TS1
and TS2 preferentially bind to a hydrophobic ?-sheet groove formed by the
C-terminal residues of I31-M35 and M35-V39 and several aromatic residues.
Meanwhile, the differences in binding distribution, residues, sites, population,
and affinity between TS1-A? and TS2-A? systems also interpret different
inhibitory effects on A? aggregation as observed by in vitro experiments. More
importantly, due to nonspecific binding mode of tanshinones, it is expected that
tanshinones would have a general inhibitory efficacy of a wide range of amyloid
peptides. These findings suggest that tanshinones, particularly TS1 compound,
offer promising lead compounds with dual protective role in anti-inflammation and
antiaggregation for further development of A? inhibitors to prevent and
disaggregate amyloid formation.
