The aggregation of amyloid ? protein (A?) is a fundamental pathogenic mechanism
leading to the neuronal damage present in Alzheimer disease, and soluble A?
oligomers are thought to be a major toxic culprit. Thus, better knowledge and
specific targeting of the pathways that lead to these noxious species may result
in valuable therapeutic strategies. We characterized some effects of the
molecular chaperone clusterin, providing new and more detailed evidence of its
potential neuroprotective effects. Using a classical thioflavin T assay, we
observed a dose-dependent inhibition of the aggregation process. The global
analysis of time courses under different conditions demonstrated that clusterin
has no effect on the elongation rate but mainly interferes with the nucleation
processes (both primary and secondary), reducing the number of nuclei available
for further fibril growth. Then, using a recently developed immunoassay based on
surface plasmon resonance, we obtained direct evidence of a high-affinity (KD= 1
nm) interaction of clusterin with biologically relevant A?1-42oligomers,
selectively captured on the sensor chip. Moreover, with the same technology, we
observed that substoichiometric concentrations of clusterin prevent oligomer
interaction with the antibody 4G8, suggesting that the chaperone shields
hydrophobic residues exposed on the oligomeric assemblies. Finally, we found that
preincubation with clusterin antagonizes the toxic effects of A?1-42oligomers, as
evaluated in a recently developedin vivomodel inCaenorhabditis elegans.These data
substantiate the interaction of clusterin with biologically active regions
exposed on nuclei/oligomers of A?1-42, providing a molecular basis for the
neuroprotective effects of the chaperone.
