Calcium dysregulation, membrane leakage and Aβ amyloid growth are hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. Here we show that Ca2+ ions inhibit membrane damage due to amyloid channels but enhance membrane disruption associated with fibers growing on the lipid surface. The similarities with IAPP suggest that this may represent a mechanism common to all proteinopathies.
钙失调、膜渗漏和 Aβ 淀粉样蛋白生长是阿尔茨海默病的标志。在这里,我们表明 Ca2+ 离子抑制由于淀粉样通道导致的膜损伤,但增强与在脂质表面上生长的纤维相关的膜破坏。与 IAPP 的相似性表明,这可能代表所有蛋白质病的共同机制。
