摘要:

最近的研究认为自噬溶体酸化异常诱导神经元中淀粉样β蛋白的自噬积聚是产生老年斑的关键。因此逆转溶酶体的功能,并重新平衡阿尔茨海默病脑内神经元中溶酶体的酸性,可能是阿尔茨海默病治疗新的策略。溶酶体酸化过程受多种因素调控,其中微管乙酰化/去乙酰化是一个关键因素。实验使用组蛋白脱乙酰酶 6 shRNA和组蛋白脱乙酰酶 6抑制剂丙戊酸,通过调节阿尔茨海默病中的V-ATP酶组装,确定了组蛋白脱乙酰酶 6对溶酶体酸化的积极作用。为了进一步验证组蛋白脱乙酰酶 6抑制溶酶体再酸化对阿尔茨海默病治疗的影响,实验评估了丙戊酸在阿尔茨海默病模型中的自噬活性、淀粉样β蛋白沉积清除和认知改善作用。结果发现,丙戊酸能显著增强阿尔茨海默病小鼠的自噬通路,促进淀粉样β蛋白聚集物的清除,并改善阿尔茨海默病小鼠的认知缺陷。这些结果证实丙戊酸抑制组蛋白脱乙酰酶 6可增加V-ATP 酶的组装和溶酶体的酸化,从而在阿尔茨海默病中发挥神经保护作用。

Abstract: Recent studies have suggested that abnormal acidification of lysosomes induces autophagic accumulation of amyloid-β in neurons, which is a key step in senile plaque formation. Therefore, restoring normal lysosomal function and rebalancing lysosomal acidification in neurons in the brain may be a new treatment strategy for Alzheimer’s disease. Microtubule acetylation/deacetylation plays a central role in lysosomal acidification. Here, we show that inhibiting the classic microtubule deacetylase histone deacetylase 6 with an histone deacetylase 6 shRNA or thehistone deacetylase 6 inhibitor valproic acid promoted lysosomal reacidification by modulating V-ATPase assembly in Alzheimer’s disease. Furthermore, we found that treatment with valproic acid markedly enhanced autophagy, promoted clearance of amyloid-β aggregates, and ameliorated cognitive deficits in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease. Our findings demonstrate a previously unknown neuroprotective mechanism in Alzheimer’s disease, in which histone deacetylase 6 inhibition by valproic acid increases V-ATPase assembly and lysosomal acidification.
