The Protective Effect of Ubiquinone against the Amyloid Peptide in Endothelial Cells Is Isoprenoid Chain Length-Dependent

Vascular brain pathology constitutes a common feature in neurodegenerative diseases that could underlie their development. Indeed, vascular dysfunction acts synergistically with neurodegenerative changes to exacerbate the cognitive impairment found in Alzheimer’s disease. Different injuries such as...

Indeed, vascular dysfunction acts synergistically with neurodegenerative changes to exacerbate the cognitive impairment found in Alzheimer’s disease.

Since it has been shown that pretreatment of cultured endothelial cells with the lipophilic antioxidant coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) displays a protective effect against the deleterious injuries caused by different agents, this study explores the cytoprotective role of different CoQs homologues against Aβ<sub>25–35</sub>-induced damage and demonstrates that only pretreatment with CoQ10 protects endothelial brain cells from Aβ<sub>25–35</sub>-induced damage.

The specific cytoprotective effect of CoQ with a side chain of 10 isoprenoid units could be explained by the fact that CoQ10 is the only ubiquinone that significantly reduces the entry of Aβ<sub>25–35</sub> into the mitochondria.Javier Frontiñán-RubioYoana Rabanal-RuizMario Durán-PradoFrancisco Javier AlcainMDPI AGarticleAlzheimer´s diseasecoenzyme QubiquinolNADPH oxidaseamyloid betaendothelial cellsTherapeutics.
