Early and Late Pathomechanisms in Alzheimer's Disease: From Zinc to Amyloid-β Neurotoxicity.

ABSTRACT: There are several systemic and intracerebral pathologic conditions, which limit provision and utilization of energy precursor metabolites in neuronal cells. Energy deficits cause excessive depolarization of neuronal cells triggering glutamate-zinc evoked excitotoxic cascade. The intracellular zinc excess hits several intraneuronal targets yielding collapse of energy balance and impairment functional and structural impairments cholinergic neurons. Disturbances in metabolism of acetyl-CoA, which is a direct precursor for energy, acetylcholine, N-acetyl-L-aspartate and acetylated proteins synthesis, play an important role in these pathomechanisms. Disruption of brain homeostasis activates slow accumulation of amyloid-β _1-42 , which extra and intracellular oligomeric deposits disrupt diverse transporting and signaling processes in all membrane structures of the cell. Both neurotoxic signals may combine aggravating detrimental effects on neuronal cell. Different neuroglial and neuronal cell types may display differential susceptibility to similar pathogenic insults depending on specific features of their energy and functional parameters. This review, basing on findings gained from cellular and animal models of Alzheimer's disease, discusses putative energy/acetyl-CoA dependent mechanism in early and late stages of neurodegeneration.

Project description:Down syndrome (DS) is strongly associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) due to APP overexpression, exhibiting Amyloid-β (Aβ) and Tau pathology similar to early-onset (EOAD) and late-onset AD (LOAD). We evaluated the Aβ plaque proteome of DS, EOAD, and LOAD using unbiased localized proteomics on post-mortem paraffin-embedded tissues from four cohorts (n = 20/group): DS (59.8 ± 4.99 y/o), EOAD (63 ± 4.07 y/o), LOAD (82.1 ± 6.37 y/o), and controls (66.4 ± 13.04). We identified differentially abundant proteins when comparing Aβ plaques and neighboring non-plaque tissue (FDR < 5%, fold-change > 1.5) in DS (n = 132), EOAD (n = 192), and LOAD (n = 128), with 43 plaque-associated proteins shared across all groups. Positive correlations were observed between plaque-associated proteins in DS and EOAD (R2 = .77), DS and LOAD (R2 = .73), and EOAD and LOAD (R2 = .67). Top gene ontology biological processes (GOBP) included lysosomal transport (p = 1.29 × 10-5) for DS, immune system regulation (p = 4.33 × 10-5) for EOAD, and lysosome organization (p = 0.029) for LOAD. Protein networks revealed a plaque-associated protein signature involving APP metabolism, immune response, and lysosomal functions. In DS, EOAD, and LOAD non-plaque vs. control tissue, we identified 263, 269, and 301 differentially abundant proteins, with 65 altered proteins shared across all cohorts. Non-plaque proteins in DS showed modest correlations with EOAD (R2 = .59) and LOAD (R2 = .33) compared to the correlation between EOAD and LOAD (R2 = .79). Top GOBP term for all groups was chromatin remodeling (p < 0.001), with additional terms for DS including extracellular matrix, and protein-DNA complexes and gene expression regulation for EOAD and LOAD. Our study reveals key functional characteristics of the amyloid plaque proteome in DS, compared to EOAD and LOAD, highlighting shared pathways in endo/lysosomal functions and immune responses. The non-plaque proteome revealed distinct alterations in ECM and chromatin structure, underscoring unique differences between DS and AD subtypes. Our findings enhance our understanding of AD pathogenesis and identify potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
