Abstract
Serum amyloid P component (SAP), a member of the innate immune system, does not penetrate the brain in physiological conditions; however, SAP is a stabilizing component of the amyloid plaques in neurodegenerative diseases. We investigated the cerebrovascular transport of human SAP in animal experiments and in culture blood-brain barrier (BBB) models. After intravenous injection, no SAP could be detected by immunohistochemistry or ELISA in healthy rat brains. Salmonella typhimurium lipopolysaccharide injection increased BBB permeability for SAP and the number of cerebral vessels labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-SAP in mice. Furthermore, when SAP was injected to the rat hippocampus, a time-dependent decrease in brain concentration was seen demonstrating a rapid SAP efflux transport in vivo. A temperature-dependent bidirectional transport of FITC-SAP was observed in rat brain endothelial monolayers. The permeability coefficient for FITC-SAP was significantly higher in abluminal to luminal (brain to blood) than in the opposite direction. The luminal release of FITC-SAP from loaded endothelial cells was also significantly higher than the abluminal one. Our data indicate the presence of BBB efflux transport mechanisms protecting the brain from SAP penetration. Damaged BBB integrity due to pathological insults may increase brain SAP concentration contributing to development of neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Alzheimer disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by extracellular accumulation of amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) in the brain interstitium. Human serum albumin (HSA) binds 95% of Aβ in blood plasma and is thought to inhibit plaque formation in peripheral tissue. However, the role of albumin in binding Aβ in the cerebrospinal fluid has been largely overlooked. Here we investigate the effect of HSA on both Aβ(1-40) and Aβ(1-42) fibril growth. We show that at micromolar cerebrospinal fluid levels, HSA inhibits the kinetics of Aβ fibrillization, significantly increasing the lag time and decreasing the total amount of fibrils produced. Furthermore, we show that the amount of amyloid fibers generated directly correlates to the proportion of Aβ not competitively bound to albumin. Our observations suggest a significant role for HSA regulating Aβ fibril growth in the brain interstitium.

Abstract
Amyloids are a family of self-aggregating proteins implicated in various central nervous system disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). It is thought that prefibrillar soluble forms of amyloid peptides, including oligomers, may be the main pathogenic factor in AD. Herein we describe the fabrication of well-defined, functionalized, monomeric beta-amyloid peptide surfaces for studying protein-protein interactions. We first prepared a nonaggregating analogue of the beta-amyloid peptide and then attached it to a gold surface covered with a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of alkanethiols. After attachment, the native form of the beta-amyloid peptide (Abeta40) was obtained by surface-level intramolecular O-N migration. The surface was characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and self-assembled monolayer for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SAMDI-TOF MS). The interaction between the surface-bound Abeta40 and monoclonal anti-Abeta40 antibody was tracked by AFM and chemiluminescence, which revealed that the Abeta40 was attached mainly in its monomeric form and that the protein-protein complex was assembled on the surface. Last, we used a proteomics approach to demonstrate the specificity of the Abeta40-functionalized surface in surface-binding experiments employing serum amyloid P (SAP) and bovine serum albumin (BSA).

Abstract
Proteins are essential elements for life. They are building blocks of all organisms and the operators of cellular functions. Humans produce a repertoire of at least 30,000 different proteins, each with a different role. Each protein has its own unique sequence and shape (native conformation) to fulfill its specific function. The appearance of incorrectly shaped (misfolded) proteins occurs on exposure to environmental changes. Protein misfolding and the subsequent aggregation is associated with various, often highly debilitating, diseases for which no sufficient cure is available yet. In the first part of this review we summarize the structural composition of proteins and the current knowledge of underlying forces that lead proteins to lose their native structure. In the second and third parts we describe the molecular and cellular mechanisms that are associated with protein misfolding in disease. Finally, in the last part we portray recent efforts to develop treatments for protein misfolding diseases.
