The Alzheimer's disease (AD) therapeutic research is yielding a large number of potent molecules. The nanoparticle-based therapeutics against the protein aggregation in AD is also taking a lead especially with amyloid-β as a primary target. In this work, we have screened for the first time protein-capped (PC) metal nanoparticles for their potency in inhibiting Tau aggregation in vitro. We present a novel function of PC-FeO and PC-CdS nanoparticles as potent Tau aggregation inhibitors by fluorescence spectrometry, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and electron microscopy. We demonstrate that the biologically synthesized PC-metal nanoparticles, especially iron oxide do not affect the viability of neuroblastoma cells. Moreover, PC-CdS nanoparticles show dual properties of inhibition and disaggregation of Tau. Thus, the nanoparticles can take a lead as potent Tau aggregation inhibitors and can be modified for specific drug delivery due to their very small size. The current work presents unprecedented strategy to design anti-Tau aggregation drugs, which provides interesting insights to understand the role of biological nanostructures in Alzheimer's disease.
阿尔茨海默病(AD)的治疗研究正在产生大量有效的分子。基于纳米颗粒的针对AD中蛋白质聚集的治疗方法也处于领先地位,尤其是以β淀粉样蛋白作为主要靶点。在这项工作中,我们首次筛选了蛋白质包覆(PC)的金属纳米颗粒在体外抑制Tau聚集的效力。我们通过荧光光谱法、十二烷基硫酸钠-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳和电子显微镜展示了PC-FeO和PC-CdS纳米颗粒作为有效的Tau聚集抑制剂的新功能。我们证明生物合成的PC-金属纳米颗粒,尤其是氧化铁,不会影响神经母细胞瘤细胞的活力。此外,PC-CdS纳米颗粒显示出抑制和分解Tau的双重特性。因此,这些纳米颗粒可以作为有效的Tau聚集抑制剂领先一步,并且由于其非常小的尺寸,可以被修饰用于特定的药物递送。目前的工作提出了设计抗Tau聚集药物的前所未有的策略,这为理解生物纳米结构在阿尔茨海默病中的作用提供了有趣的见解。
