Effect of magnetic modulation of mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channel 2 against beta-amyloid induced neurotoxicity†
Abstract
The magnetic capture of mitochondrial VDAC2 with bacterial magnetic particles (BMPs) conjugated VDAC2 antibody (BMPs–Ab) significantly decreased the expressed intracellular calcium levels and neurotoxicity induced by Aβ. This magnetic modulation of mitochondrial VDAC, playing a key role in various Ca2+ flux pathways, should provide attractive targets for the future development of AD treatments.
