Development of inhibitors of Aβ fibril formation using structure-based design against Aβ 16–26 D23N.
(A) Identification of Aβ1–42 inhibitor. 10 μM Aβ1–42 was incubated alone or with 100 μM of each candidate peptide inhibitor for 12 hr at 37°C and then diluted 1:10 with pre-plated N2a cells. Cytotoxicity was quantified using MTT dye reduction Bars represent mean with individual technical replicates, error bars display one standard deviation (n = 3; ns = not significant; ****, p<0.0001 using an ordinary one-way ANOVA- Dunnett’s relative to leftmost column) (B, C) Segment KLVFFAEN, derived from the Aβ 16–26 D23N crystal structure, was used as the design target. Model of peptide inhibitor D1(magenta) bound to the design target, KLVFFAEN (gray). Smaller hydrophobic residues of D1 mimic interactions with the fibril interface on one side of the peptide (B), whereas the other side of the peptide positions large aromatic residues between Aβ residues, breaking possible further interactions (C). (D) Overview of peptide inhibitors in D and L amino acid conformations, as indicated, used in this study and their sequences. Peptide LC is the L-form cognate peptide of D-form peptide D1 and is the negative control for peptide inhibitor D1 and its derivatives D1b and D1d. IC50 values were determined using four parameter nonlinear fit for half maximal inhibition. N.D., not determined. (E) Peptide inhibitors D1, D1b, and D1d reduce the cytotoxicity of Aβ1–42 in a dose dependent manner, whereas control peptide LC does not. 10 μM Aβ1–42 was incubated alone or with various concentrations of each peptide inhibitor for 12 hr at 37°C and then diluted 1:10 with pre-plated N2a cells. Cytotoxicity was quantified using MTT dye reduction. Bars represent mean with individual technical replicates, error bars display one standard deviation (n = 3–6; ns = not significant; **, p<0.002; ****, p<0.0001 using an ordinary one-way ANOVA Dunnett’s relative to leftmost column).
