The P2X7 receptor is a cell surface ligand-gated ion channel, activated by its physiological nucleotide agonist ATP and a synthetic analogue (BzATP). However, it has also been suggested that there may be structurally unrelated, non-nucleotide agonists such as the amyloidogenic β peptide. Here we aimed to reassess the effect of amyloid β peptides in various in vitro cell models, namely HEK293 overexpressing human P2X7, the microglial BV-2 cell line, and BV-2 cells lacking P2X7. We measured YO-PRO-1 dye uptake in response to full-length amyloid β peptide (1-42) or the shorter amyloid β peptide (25-35) and there was a concentration-dependent increase in YOPRO-1 dye uptake in HEK-hP2X7 cells. However, these amyloid β peptide-induced increases in YOPRO-1 dye uptake were also identical in non-transfected HEK-293 cells. We could observe small transient increases in [Ca2+]i induced by amyloid β peptides in BV-2 cells, however these were identical in BV-2 cells lacking P2X7. Furthermore, our metabolic viability and LDH release experiments suggest no significant change in viability or cell membrane damage in HEK-hP2X7 cells. In the BV-2 cells we found that high concentrations of amyloid β peptides (1-42) and (25-35) could reduce cell viability by up to 35% but this was also seen in BV-2 cells lacking P2X7. We found no evidence of LDH release by amyloid β peptides. In summary, we found no evidence that amyloid β peptides act as agonists of P2X7 in our in vitro models. Our study raises the possibility that amyloid β peptides simply mimic features of P2X7 activation.

回顾淀粉样β肽充当P2X7激动剂的想法

P2X7受体是细胞表面配体门控的离子通道,由其生理核苷酸激动剂ATP和合成类似物(BzATP)激活。然而,也已经暗示可能存在结构上不相关的非核苷酸激动剂,例如淀粉样蛋白生成的β肽。在这里,我们旨在重新评估淀粉样蛋白β肽在各种体外细胞模型中的作用,即过表达HEK293的人P2X7,小胶质BV-2细胞系和缺乏P2X7的BV-2细胞。我们测量了响应于全长淀粉样β肽(1-42)或更短的淀粉样β肽(25-35)的YO-PRO-1染料摄取,HEK中YOPRO-1染料摄取的浓度依赖性增加-hP2X7细胞。但是,这些淀粉样β肽诱导的YOPRO-1染料摄取的增加在未转染的HEK-293细胞中也相同。我们可以在BV-2细胞中观察到由淀粉样β肽诱导的[Ca2 +] i的短暂瞬时增加,但是在缺乏P2X7的BV-2细胞中,这些现象是相同的。此外,我们的代谢活力和LDH释放实验表明,HEK-hP2X7细胞的活力或细胞膜损伤无明显变化。在BV-2细胞中,我们发现高浓度的淀粉样蛋白β肽(1-42)和(25-35)最多可将细胞活力降低35%,但这在缺乏P2X7的BV-2细胞中也可见到。我们没有发现淀粉样β肽释放LDH的证据。总而言之,我们没有发现在我们的体外模型中淀粉样蛋白β肽充当P2X7激动剂的证据。我们的研究提出了淀粉样蛋白β肽仅模仿P2X7激活特征的可能性。然而,这些在缺乏P2X7的BV-2细胞中是相同的。此外,我们的代谢活力和LDH释放实验表明,HEK-hP2X7细胞的活力或细胞膜损伤无明显变化。在BV-2细胞中,我们发现高浓度的淀粉样蛋白β肽(1-42)和(25-35)最多可将细胞活力降低35%,但这在缺乏P2X7的BV-2细胞中也可见到。我们没有发现淀粉样β肽释放LDH的证据。总而言之,我们没有发现在我们的体外模型中淀粉样蛋白β肽充当P2X7激动剂的证据。我们的研究提出了淀粉样蛋白β肽仅模仿P2X7激活特征的可能性。然而,这些在缺乏P2X7的BV-2细胞中是相同的。此外,我们的代谢活力和LDH释放实验表明,HEK-hP2X7细胞的活力或细胞膜损伤无明显变化。在BV-2细胞中,我们发现高浓度的淀粉样蛋白β肽(1-42)和(25-35)最多可将细胞活力降低35%,但这在缺乏P2X7的BV-2细胞中也可见到。我们没有发现淀粉样β肽释放LDH的证据。总而言之,我们没有发现在我们的体外模型中淀粉样蛋白β肽充当P2X7激动剂的证据。我们的研究提出了淀粉样蛋白β肽仅模仿P2X7激活特征的可能性。在BV-2细胞中,我们发现高浓度的淀粉样蛋白β肽(1-42)和(25-35)最多可将细胞活力降低35%,但这在缺乏P2X7的BV-2细胞中也可见到。我们没有发现淀粉样β肽释放LDH的证据。总而言之,我们没有发现在我们的体外模型中淀粉样蛋白β肽充当P2X7激动剂的证据。我们的研究提出了淀粉样蛋白β肽仅模仿P2X7激活特征的可能性。在BV-2细胞中,我们发现高浓度的淀粉样蛋白β肽(1-42)和(25-35)最多可将细胞活力降低35%,但这在缺乏P2X7的BV-2细胞中也可见到。我们没有发现淀粉样β肽释放LDH的证据。总而言之,我们没有发现在我们的体外模型中淀粉样蛋白β肽充当P2X7激动剂的证据。我们的研究提出了淀粉样蛋白β肽仅模仿P2X7激活特征的可能性。
