Recent studies that alleles in the hemochromatosis gene may accelerate the onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD) by five years have validated interest in the model in which metals (particularly iron) accelerate disease course. Biochemical and biophysical measurements demonstrated the presence of elevated levels of neurotoxic copper, zinc and iron in the brains of AD patients. Intracellular levels of amyloid precursor protein (APP) holoprotein were shown to be modulated via iron by a mechanism that is similar to the translation control of the ferritin L- and H mRNAs by Iron-responsive Element (IRE) RNA stem loops in their 5′untranslated regions (5′UTRs). Recently, we reported a putative IRE-like sequence to be present in the 5′UTR of the Parkinson's disease (PD) specific alpha synuclein (ASYN) transcript. ASYN encodes the non-Aβ component (NAC) of amyloid plaques. The demonstration of iron-dependent translation of APP mRNA, the involvement of metals in the plaque of AD patients and of increased iron in striatal neurons in the Substantia nigra (SN) of PD patients, have each encouraged the development of metal attenuating agents and iron chelators as a major new therapeutic strategy for the treatment of these neurodegenerative diseases. In the case of AD, metal based therapeutics may ultimately prove more cost effective than the use of an amyloid vaccine as the preferred anti-amyloid therapeutic strategy to ameliorate the cognitive decline of AD patients.
