The search for antiprion compounds has been encouraged by the fact that
transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) share molecular mechanisms with
more prevalent neurodegenerative pathologies, such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's
diseases. Cellular prion protein (PrP(C)) conversion into protease-resistant
forms (protease-resistant PrP [PrP(Res)] or the scrapie form of PrP [PrP(Sc)]) is
a critical step in the development of TSEs and is thus one of the main targets in
the screening for antiprion compounds. In this work, three trimethoxychalcones
(compounds J1, J8, and J20) and one oxadiazole (compound Y17), previously
identified in vitro to be potential antiprion compounds, were evaluated through
different approaches in order to gain inferences about their mechanisms of
action. None of them changed PrP(C) mRNA levels in N2a cells, as shown by reverse
transcription-quantitative real-time PCR. Among them, J8 and Y17 were effective
in real-time quaking-induced conversion reactions using rodent recombinant PrP
(rPrP) from residues 23 to 231 (rPrP(23-231)) as the substrate and PrP(Sc) seeds
from hamster and human brain. However, when rPrP from residues 90 to 231
(rPrP(90-231)), which lacks the N-terminal domain, was used as the substrate,
only J8 remained effective, indicating that this region is important for Y17
activity, while J8 seems to interact with the PrP(C) globular domain. J8 also
reduced the fibrillation of mouse rPrP(23-231) seeded with in vitro-produced
fibrils. Furthermore, most of the compounds decreased the amount of PrP(C) on the
N2a cell surface by trapping this protein in the endoplasmic reticulum. On the
basis of these results, we hypothesize that J8, a nontoxic compound previously
shown to be a promising antiprion agent, may act by different mechanisms, since
its efficacy is attributable not only to PrP conversion inhibition but also to a
reduction of the PrP(C) content on the cell surface.
