Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The occurrence of aluminosilicate deposits within the cerebral plaques in Alzheimer's senile dementia sufferers has prompted further consideration of the possible role of such materials in the aetiology and pathogenesis of the disease. We have monitored the ability of various natural and synthetic model aluminosilicate particulates of differing morphological and chemical composition to stimulate the generation of phagocyte-derived free radical reactive oxygen metabolites (ROM) using an in vitro chemiluminescent technique on purified human blood-derived polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN). The results indicate that an enhanced chemiluminescent response is produced by calcium-bearing fibriform particulates. It is proposed that an analogous in vivo particle-induced and phagocyte-mediated oxidative stress could provide a potential pathogenic mechanism in the development of Alzheimer's disease.
