The interaction of amyloid beta (A beta) peptide with cell membranes has been shown to be influenced by A beta conformation, membrane physicochemical properties and lipid composition. However, the effect of cholesterol and its oxidized derivatives, oxysterols, on A beta-induced neurotoxicity to membranes is not fully understood. We employed here model membranes to investigate the localization of A beta in membranes and the peptide-induced membrane dynamics in the presence of cholesterol and 7-ketocholesterol (7keto) or 25-hydroxycholesterol (25OH). Our results have indicated that oxysterols rendered membranes more sensitive to A beta, in contrast to role of cholesterol in inhibiting A beta/membrane interaction. We have demonstrated that two oxysterols had different impacts owing to distinct positions of the additional oxygen group in their structures. 7keto-containing cell-sized liposomes exhibited a high propensity toward association with A beta, while 25OH systems were more capable of morphological changes in response to the peptide. Furthermore, we have shown that 42-amino acid A beta (A beta-42) pre-fibril species had higher association with membranes, and caused membrane fluctuation faster than 40-residue isoform (A beta-40). These findings suggest the enhancing effect of oxysterols on interaction of A beta with membranes and contribute to clarify the harmful impact of cholesterol on A beta-induced neurotoxicity by means of its oxidation.
