摘要:

在阿尔茨海默病发病早期阶段,谁可能成为阻止其进程中的一个新靶点。鉴于此,实验观察了纹状体富集的酪氨酸磷酸酶61在具有空间学习记忆缺损的12月龄Tg-APPswe/PSEN1dE9双转基因小鼠脑组织的中表达。免疫组织化学结果发现,Tg-APPswe/PSEN1dE9双转基因鼠大脑皮质和海马中纹状体富集的酪氨酸磷酸酶61的蛋白表达显著增加,磷酸化N-甲基-D-天门冬氨酸受体2B表达明显减少。进一步用β-淀粉样肽1-42处理体外培养的C57BL/6小鼠皮质神经元建立阿尔茨海默病细胞模型。Western blot检测显示,采用N-甲基-D-天门冬氨酸受体拮抗剂AP5可显著抑制阿尔茨海默病细胞模型Aβ1-42诱导的纹状体富集的酪氨酸磷酸酶61的活性增强,而且细胞中Tyr1472位点的磷酸化N-甲基-D-天门冬氨酸受体2B蛋白表达降低,将纹状体富集的酪氨酸磷酸酶61 RNA干扰后N-甲基-D-天门冬氨酸受体2B磷酸化表达增加。结果说明,纹状体富集的酪氨酸磷酸酶61可扰乱N-甲基-D-天门冬氨酸受体转运过程,可能阻止阿尔茨海默病学习记忆障碍的进展。纹状体富集的酪氨酸磷酸酶61可能为阻止阿尔茨海默病进程的新靶点。

Abstract:

To stop the progression of Alzheimer’s disease in the early stage, it is necessary to identify new therapeutic targets. We examined striatal-enriched phosphatase 61 expression in the brain tissues of 12-month-old APPswe/PSEN1dE9 transgenic mice. Immunohistochemistry showed that stria-tal-enriched phosphatase 61 protein expression was significantly increased but phosphorylated N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 2B levels were significantly decreased in the cortex and hippocam-pus of APPswe/PSEN1dE9 transgenic mice. Western blotting of a cell model of Alzheimer’s disease consisting of amyloid-beta peptide (1–42)-treated C57BL/6 mouse cortical neurons in vitro showed that valeric acid (AP5), an N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist, significantly inhibited amyloid- beta 1–42-induced increased activity of striatal-enriched phosphatase 61. In addition, the phos-phorylation of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 2B at Tyr1472 was impaired in amyloid-beta 1–42-treated cortical neurons, but knockdown of striatal-enriched phosphatase 61 enhanced the phosphorylation of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 2B. Collectively, these findings indicate that stri-atal-enriched phosphatase 61 can disturb N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor transport and inhibit the progression of learning and study disturbances induced by Alzheimer’s disease. Thus, stria-tal-enriched phosphatase 61 may represent a new target for inhibiting the progression of Alz-heimer’s disease.
