Glycosylated clusterin species facilitate amyloid beta toxicity in human neurons.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Clusterin (CLU) is one of the most significant genetic risk factors for late onset Alzheimer’s disease. Numerous studies have now demonstrated that CLU-AD mutations and amyloid-β (Aβ) treatment alter the trafficking and localisation of glycosylated CLU. iPSCs with altered CLU trafficking were generated following the removal of CLU exon 2 by CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing. Neurons were generated from control, unedited and exon 2 -/- iPSCs and were incubated with aggregated Aβ peptides. Changes in cell death and neurite length were quantified to determine if altered CLU protein trafficking influenced neuronal sensitivity to Aβ.
