Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disease whose prevalence increases with age. An increasing number of findings suggest that abnormalities in the metabolism of amyloid precursor protein (APP), a single transmembrane aspartic protein that is cleaved by β- and γ-secretases to produce β-amyloid protein (Aβ), are a major pathological feature of AD. In recent years, a large number of studies have been conducted on the APP processing pathways and the role of secretion. This paper provides a summary of the involvement of secretases in the processing of APP and the potential drug targets that could provide new directions for AD therapy.

AbstractHypercholesterolemia has been considered as a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In addition to low density lipoprotein (LDL), oxidized LDL plays some roles in AD pathology. Neurodegenerative effect of oxidized LDL was supported by the increased oxidative stress in neurons. To further investigate the role of oxidized LDL, the present study aimed to test its effect on amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing. The release of soluble APP (sAPP) was evaluated in differentiated SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells exposed to native (non-oxidized) or oxidized human LDL including mildly and fully oxidized LDL (mox- and fox-LDL). Non-amyloidogenic and amyloidogenic pathways were investigated using specific antibody against sAPP

Lyso-IP is a method that allows for the isolation of lysosomes for proteomics and metabolomics (dx.doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.bybjpskn; dx.doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.bx9hpr36). We have developed an analogous approach for purification of early/sorting endosomes (Endo-IP). In addition, we have found that endolysosomal purification via Lyso-IP and Endo-IP can be coupled with a quantitative proteomics workflow to obtain snapshots of Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) processing to its Aβ products (Park et al. in submission). Here, we describe methods for cell line construction and maintenance of 293 cells with TMEM192-3xHA and 3xFLAG-EEA1, which are used for lysosome and endosome purification, respectively, with the addition of patient mutations to APP promotes processing. Cells with endogenously tagged TMEM192 and stably expressing FLAG-EEA1 are referred to as 293EL cells, for Endo-IP and Lyso-IP. These cells were also prepared in a form that has a deletion of the APP gene (293EL;APP-/-) and the same cells reconstituted with a lentivirus stably expressing APPSw;T700N to allow functional analysis of APP processing.

Exercise Induced

Inactivity, obesity, and insulin resistance are significant risk factors for the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Several studies have demonstrated that diet-induced obesity, inactivity, and insulin resistance exacerbate the neuropathological hallmarks of AD. The aggregation of β-amyloid peptides is one of these hallmarks. β-Site amyloid precursor protein-cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) is the rate-limiting enzyme in amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing, leading to β-amyloid peptide formation. Understanding how BACE1 content and activity are regulated is essential for establishing therapies aimed at reducing and/or slowing the progression of AD. Exercise training has been proven to reduce the risk of AD as well as decrease β-amyloid production and BACE1 content and/or activity. However, these long-term interventions also result in improvements in adiposity, circulating metabolites, glucose tolerance, and insulin sensitivity making it difficult to determine the direct effects of exercise on brain APP processing. This review highlights this large void in our knowledge and discusses our current understanding of the direct of effect of exercise on β-amyloid production. We have concentrated on the central role that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) may play in mediating the direct effects of exercise on reducing brain BACE1 content and activity as well as β-amyloid production. Future studies should aim to generate a greater understanding of how obesity and exercise can directly alter APP processing and AD-related pathologies. This knowledge could provide evidence-based hypotheses for designing therapies to reduce the risk of AD and dementia.

Background: The accumulation of amyloid β-protein (Aβ) in the brain is a pathological feature of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Aβ peptides originate from amyloid precursor protein (APP). APP can be proteolytically cleaved through amyloidogenic or non-amyloidogenic pathways. The molecular effects on APP metabolism / processing may be influenced by myelin and the breakdown of myelin basic protein (MBP) in AD patients and mouse models of AD pathology. Methods: We directly tested whether MBP can alter influence APP processing in MBP-/- mice, known as Shiverer (shi/shi) mice, in which no functional MBP is produced due to gene breakage from the middle of MBP exon II. Results: A significant reduction of the cerebral sAPPα level in Shiverer (shi/shi) mice was found, although the levels of both total APP and sAPPβ remain unchanged. The reduction of sAPPα was considered to be due to the changes in the expression levels of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase-9 (ADAM9) catalysis and non-amyloid genic processing of APP in the absence of MBP because it binds to ADAM9. MBP -/- mice exhibited increased Aβ oligomer production. Conclusion: Together, these findings suggest that in the absence of MBP, there is a marked reduction of non-amyloidogenic APP processing to sAPPα, and targeting myelin of oligodendrocytes may be a novel therapy for the prevention and treatment of AD.

AbstractAmyloid beta peptides (Aβ) proteins play a key role in vascular pathology in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) including impairment of the blood–brain barrier and aberrant angiogenesis. Although previous work has demonstrated a pro-angiogenic role of Aβ, the exact mechanisms by which amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing and endothelial angiogenic signalling cascades interact in AD remain a largely unsolved problem. Here, we report that increased endothelial sprouting in human-APP transgenic mouse (TgCRND8) tissue is dependent on β-secretase (BACE1) processing of APP. Higher levels of Aβ processing in TgCRND8 tissue coincides with decreased NOTCH3/JAG1 signalling, overproduction of endothelial filopodia and increased numbers of vascular pericytes. Using a novel in vitro approach to study sprouting angiogenesis in TgCRND8 organotypic brain slice cultures (OBSCs), we find that BACE1 inhibition normalises excessive endothelial filopodia formation and restores NOTCH3 signalling. These data present the first evidence for the potential of BACE1 inhibition as an effective therapeutic target for aberrant angiogenesis in AD.
