Different fibrillar Aβ 1–42 concentrations induce adult hippocampal neurons to reenter various phases of the cell cycle
چکیده انگلیسی

In Alzheimer's disease (AD) cell cycle reentry precedes neuronal death, which could be induced by many cytotoxic factors. It is believed that beta amyloid (Aβ), the major component of extracellular plaques in AD, is potent in inducing neurons to reenter cell cycle. In AD brains, neurons expressing cell cycle markers are reported in many brain regions without any plaque formation, although very low levels of Aβ may still be detected. In the other side, because cell cycle reentry is not an immediate cause of apoptosis, neurons may remain in cell cycle phases for some time prior to their final death. In this study we examined if very low concentrations of Aβ 1–42 (picomolar) can trigger the adult neurons to reenter the cell cycle, and the effect of different Aβ concentrations on neuronal progression through different cell cycle phases. Primary adult neurons were treated with Aβ 1–42 at 2 × 10− 6, 2 × 10− 5, 2 × 10− 4, 0.5 and 2.5 µM concentrations. Cyclin D1 and cyclin B1 (the markers for G1 and G2 phases of the cell cycle, respectively) and apoptosis were assessed. Treatment with Aβ at 2.5 µM induced apoptosis. At lower levels however, Aβ promoted neurons entering G1 and G2 phases without apoptosis, with 0.5 µM of Aβ inducing neurons into G2, and 2 × 10− 5, 2 × 10− 4 into G1 phases. Our results suggested that lower concentrations of Aβ induced neurons to reenter the cell cycle, and different concentrations had differential abilities to promote neurons into various cell cycle phases or trigger their death.
