| Abstract | Accumulation of amyloid beta protein (Aβ) plays a major role in the etiology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Aβ is generated from the cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) by beta-site APP-cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1). There are two factors that reduce of Aβ accumulation in the brain; degradation by peptidases such as neprilysin (NEP) and clearance via two transporters. The low-density lipoprotein receptor related protein 1 (LRP1) is the major transporter that clears Aβ from brain to blood and the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is a receptor that transports Aβ from blood to brain. Copper (Cu) has been postulated to play a role in the pathogenesis of AD, especially involved in Aβ aggregation and toxicity. According to a recent study, Cu(II) could reduce Aβ clearance from the brain in cholesterol-fed rabbits. However, the critical mechanism is unclear. This study was purposed to demonstrate whether Cu (II) would alter accumulation of Aβ in brain. We treated 25 and 50 μM CuSO$_{4}$ for 48-hour in the well-defined neurodevelopmental cell line (PC12), rat choroidal epithelial cell line (Z310), and rat brain endothelial cell line (RBE4) to estimate the effects on Cu(II) exposure in the brain.Cu(II) increased the levels of Aβ(40) and Aβ(42) in the PC12 cell medium in a dose-dependent manner compared with control. The mRNA and protein expression levels of APP and BACE1, which play an important role in Aβ generation, were increased in the PC12 cells exposed to Cu(II). NEP expression levels in mRNA and protein were decreased in a dose-dependent manner in PC12 cells treated with Cu(II). In the RBE4 cells, Cu(II) decreased LRP1 levels and increased RAGE levels in mRNA and protein compared with control. Moreover, Cu(II) decreased the clearance of Aβ using the blood-brain barrier (BBB) transport study. However, in the Z310 cells, Cu(II) didn’t change the levels of LRP1 and RAGE in mRNA and protein. These results implied that Cu(II) increased Aβ accumulation in the brain by increasing Aβ production but decreasing Aβ degradation in the brain parenchyma and interfering with clearance of Aβ via the BBB. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
