The study found that polar phenols can affect the AD-related pathogenic functions of apoE4 forms, with certain compounds preventing cellular changes by modulating redox status and improving the structure of apoE4 forms. This research provides evidence that natural compounds could modify the structure of apoE4 forms and ameliorate AD-related pathogenic effects.
Polar phenols found in plant foods have been suggested to act protectively against pathogenic processes underlying Alzheimer's disease (AD), such as oxidative stress. The major risk factor for AD is apolipoprotein E4 (apoE4) and apoE4 forms can affect AD-related processes. It was shown previously that the hereditary apoE4 mutant apoE4[L28P], as well as the apoE4 fragment apoE4-165, induce neuronal oxidative stress. The effect of polar phenols on AD-related pathogenic functions of apoE4 forms is largely unexplored. The aim was to examine the effect of Corinthian currant polar phenolic extract and specific polar phenols resveratml, quercetin, kaempferol and epigallocatechin gallate on AD-related functions of apoE4 forms. The polar phenolic extract and the individual compounds restored the viability of human neuroblastoma SK-N-SH cells in the presence of lipoprotein-associated apoE4[L28P] and prevented changes in cellular redox status. Furthermore, resveratrol, quercetin, kaempfeml and epigallocatechin gallate prevented redox status changes induced by A beta 42 uptake in SK-N-SH cells treated with lipid-free apoE4[L28P] or apoE4-165. Investigation of the molecular mechanism of action of these polar phenols showed that resveratrol prevented cellular A beta 42 uptake via changes in cell membrane fluidity. Interestingly, kaempfeml prevented cellular A beta 42 uptake by apoE4[L28P], but not by apoE4-165, due to a modulating effect on apoE4[L28P] secondary structure and stability. The action of quercetin and epigallocatechin gallate could be attributed to free radical-scavenging or other protective activity. Overall, it is shown for the first time that natural compounds could modify the structure of apoE4 forms and ameliorate AD-related pathogenic effects of apoE4 forms.
