Amyloid-beta (A beta) aggregation and Cu(II)-related oxidative stress are involved in the dysfunction and death of neurons in Alzheimer's disease (AD) However, the relationship between A beta and Cu(II) is not clear Furthermore. the pro- or anti-oxidant properties of A beta are also under great debate Here the H2O2 generating ability of A beta 42 in its monomeric, oligomeric and fibrillar forms was studied in the presence of Cu(II) The results show that A beta 42 in both oligomeric and fibrillar forms can promote H2O2 generation at lower concentrations of Cu(II) and A beta 42 oligomer can promote H2O2 generation to a higher extent Nevertheless. the promoting effect of A beta 42 oligomer and fibril may convert to an inhibitory effect when the concentration of Cu(II) is increased. This indicates the dual functions of A beta 42 oligomer and fibril in Cu(II)-induced H2O2 production Hereby we present a new perspective on the roles of A beta 42 in Cu(II)-mediated oxidative stress and add new evidence to the viewpoint that A beta 42 oligomer may be primarily responsible for the pathogenesis of AD (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V All rights reserved
