Effects of
the amyloid binding peptide KP 45–50 on amyloid
peptide toxicity in catalase overexpressing SH-SY5Y neuronal cells.
(A) Naïve human SH-SY5Y neuronal cells were pretreated
with medium alone (closed columns) or 1 μM KP 45–50 (hatched
columns) prior to exposure to 25 μM Aβ 25–35 (clear
columns), IAPP 20–29 (red columns), PrP 106–126 (blue
columns), ABri 1–34 (green columns), or ADan 1–34 (yellow
columns) and cell viability determined by MTT reduction. Results are
mean ± SEM; †P < 0.05 vs
control; one-way ANOVA. (B) Naïve human SH-SY5Y neuronal
cells were pretreated with medium alone (closed columns) or 10 μM
KP 45–50 (hatched columns) prior to exposure to 25 μM
Aβ 25–35 (clear columns), IAPP 20–29 (red columns),
PrP 106–126 (blue columns), ABri 1–34 (green columns),
or ADan 1–34 (yellow columns) and cell viability determined
by MTT reduction. Results are mean ± SEM; *P < 0.05 vs amyloid peptide alone ; †P < 0.05 vs control; one-way ANOVA. (C) Human SH-SY5Y
neuronal cells stably expressing the catalase gene vector (PCat) were
pretreated with 0–20 μM KP 45–50 prior to exposure
to medium alone (closed blue circles) or 50 μM Aβ (closed
red circles) and cell viability determined by MTT reduction. Results
are mean ± SEM; *P < 0.05 vs Aβ alone;
one-way ANOVA. (D) Human SH-SY5Y neuronal cells stably expressing
the catalase gene vector (PCat) were pretreated with 20 μM KP
45–50 (hatched columns) or medium alone (closed columns) and
exposed to 25 μM Aβ 25–35 (clear columns), IAPP
20–29 (red columns), PrP 106–126 (blue columns), ABri
1–34 (green columns), or ADan 1–34 (yellow columns)
and cell viability determined by MTT reduction. Results are mean ±
SEM.
