“…BRICHOS is a recently established molecular chaperone domain, which efficiently prevents fibrillar amyloid aggregation as well as its associated toxicity, as shown in vitro, in mouse hippocampal slice preparations, and in Drosophila models 19,23,26,27,32,34,35 . The dementia relevant Bri2 and its BBB permeable BRICHOS domain are associated with AD: Bri2 is produced in the CNS in the same cells as the Aβ precursor protein AβPP, colocalizes with senile plaques, interacts with Aβ in neurons, and increased amounts of different Bri2 forms have been found in human AD brains 38,39,48 . Further preclinical work that focus on the potential usefulness of Bri2 BRICHOS delivery and/or activation for prevention and treatment of AD should be pursued in relevant animal models.…”
