| Research Abstract |
Aggregated amyloid-beta is a pathological feature in Alzheimer's disease(AD) and mild cognitive impairment(MCI) is an early stage of AD. Up to date, there is no diagnostics of MCI by patients serum. We found that the concentration of 25(OH)V-D3 in serum with MCI is lower than that of normal volunteers, and there is no differences in the concentration of 1,25(OH)2V-D3 between them. We suggest that the serum concentration of 25(OH)V-D3 is useful for the diagnostics of MCI. Unexpectedly, 25(OH)V-D3 showed no inhibitory effects for the aggregation in vitro, and rather promoted the aggregation.
PrPsc is the responsible protein to cause scrapie, which derived from the conformational transition of PrPc in normal brain. Oligomerization of PrPc is a pre-stage of PrPsc. We found that V-D3 could not break the oligomerization, however VD2 could break the oligzation, suggesting that VD2 is useful for scrapie therapy.
