Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by a large number of amyloid-? (A?)
deposits in the brain. Therefore, inhibiting A? aggregation or destabilizing
preformed aggregates could be a promising therapeutic target for halting/slowing
the progression of AD. Chitosan oligosaccharides (COS) have previously been
reported to exhibit antioxidant and neuroprotective effects. Recent study shows
that COS could markedly decrease oligomeric A?-induced neurotoxicity and
oxidative stress in rat hippocampal neurons. However, the potential mechanism
that COS reduce A?-mediated neurotoxicity remains unclear. In the present study,
our findings from circular dichroism spectroscopy, transmission electron
microscope and thioflavin T fluorescence assay suggested that COS act as an
inhibitor of A? aggregation and this effect shows dose-dependency. Moreover, data
from thioflavin T assay indicated that COS could significantly inhibit fibrils
formation and disrupt preformed fibrils in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore,
the addition of COS attenuated A?1-42-induced neurotoxicity in rat cortical
neurons. Taken together, our results demonstrated for the first time that COS
could inhibit A?1-42 fibrils formation and disaggregate preformed fibrils,
suggesting that COS may have anti-A? fibrillogenesis and fibril-destabilizing
properties. These findings highlight the potential role of COS as novel
therapeutic agents for the prevention and treatment of AD.
