摘要:

以往的研究表明,SIRT 1具有降低神经元Aβ的产生,抑制神经胶质的炎症反应,从而产生对抗阿尔茨海默病动物模型中Aβ神经毒性的作用,但SIRT 1对星形胶质细胞的保护作用尚在研究中。为此,实验体外建立原代星形胶质细胞吞噬降解Aβ的时间点模型,发现培养12 h可表征寡聚态Aβ吞噬时间点,培养36 h表征寡聚态Aβ有效降解时间点。(1) 实验利用免疫荧光技术检测胞内Aβ定位发现,原代星形胶质细胞降解Aβ过程依赖于溶酶体。实验利用SIRT1的激动剂和抑制剂以浓度梯度方式刺激细胞,然后向培养基中加入Aβ刺激36 h,Western blot检测不同处理条件下胞内剩余Aβ蛋白表达发现,SIRT1依赖其去乙酰化酶活性来促进胞内Aβ降解;(2) 实验进一步通过定量蛋白质组学技术筛选SIRT1促进原代星形胶质细胞溶酶体途径降解Aβ通路的潜在下游差异表达蛋白,发现多数检测出的差异蛋白与SIRT1的酶活功能更接近;(3)实验再通过免疫荧光染色观察发现,SIRT1可依赖其去乙酰化酶活性上调原代星形胶质细胞中的溶酶体数量;(4)上述数据说明,SIRT1依赖其去乙酰化酶活性可上调原代星形胶质细胞溶酶体数量,从而促进了寡聚态Aβ降解。

Abstract:

Previous studies have shown that sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) reduces the production of neuronal amyloid beta (Aβ) and inhibits the inflammatory response of glial cells, thereby generating a neuroprotective effect against Aβ neurotoxicity in animal models of Alzheimer’s disease. However, the protective effect of SIRT1 on astrocytes is still under investigation. This study established a time point model for the clearance of Aβ in primary astrocytes. Results showed that 12 hours of culture was sufficient for endocytosis of oligomeric Aβ, and 36 hours sufficient for effective degradation. Immunofluorescence demonstrated that Aβ degradation in primary astrocytes relies on lysosome function. Enzymatic agonists or SIRT1 inhibitors were used to stimulate cells over a concentration gradient. Aβ was co-cultured for 36 hours in medium. Western blot assay results under different conditions revealed that SIRT1 relies on its deacetylase activity to promote intracellular Aβ degradation. The experiment further screened SIRT1 using quantitative proteomics to investigate downstream, differentially expressed proteins in the Aβ degradation pathway and selected the ones related to enzyme activity of SIRT1. Most of the differentially expressed proteins detected are close to the primary astrocyte lysosomal pathway. Immunofluorescence staining demonstrated that SIRT1 relies on its deacetylase activity to upregulate lysosome number in primary astrocytes. Taken together, these findings confirm that SIRT1 relies on its deacetylase activity to upregulate lysosome number, thereby facilitating oligomeric Aβ degradation in primary astrocytes.
