Effect of Obesity and High-Density Lipoprotein Concentration on the Pathological Characteristics of Alzheimer's Disease in High-Fat Diet-Fed Mice.

ABSTRACT: The typical pathological features of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are the accumulation of amyloid plaques in the brain and reactivity of glial cells such as astrocytes and microglia. Clinically, the development of AD and obesity are known to be correlated. In this study, we analyzed the changes in AD pathological characteristics in 5XFAD mice after obesity induction through a high-fat diet (HFD). Surprisingly, high-density lipoprotein and apolipoprotein AI (APOA-I) serum levels were increased without low-density lipoprotein alteration in both HFD groups. The reactivity of astrocytes and microglia in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus and fornix of the hypothalamus in 5XFAD mice was decreased in the transgenic (TG)-HFD high group. Finally, the accumulation of amyloid plaques in the dentate gyrus region of the hippocampus was also significantly decreased in the TG-HFD high group. These results suggest that increased high-density lipoprotein level, especially with increased APOA-I serum level, alleviates the pathological features of AD and could be a new potential therapeutic strategy for AD treatment.

Project description:Rats were fed ad libitum on either a standard, high-carbohydrate, chow diet or a similar diet supplemented with 15% unsaturated fat (corn oil). Hepatocytes were prepared either during the dark phase (D6-hepatocytes) or during the light phase (L2-hepatocytes) of the diurnal cycle. In hepatocytes from rats fed on the unsaturated-fat-containing diet, secretion of very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) triacylglycerol was inhibited to a greater extent in the D6- than in the L2-hepatocytes. Plasma non-esterified fatty acid concentrations were elevated to the same extent at both D6 and L2 in the unsaturated-fat-fed animals. The secretion of VLDL esterified and non-esterified cholesterol was relatively insensitive to changes in the unsaturated-fat content of the diet. This resulted in proportionate increases in the content of these lipid constituents compared with that of triacylglycerol in the nascent VLDL. There was also an increase in the ratio of esterified to non-esterified cholesterol in the nascent VLDL produced by hepatocytes of the unsaturated-fat-fed animals. In the D6-hepatocytes from the unsaturated-fat-fed animals, the decrease in the secretion of VLDL triacylglycerol could not be reversed by addition of exogenous oleate (0.7 mM) to the incubation medium. In contrast, addition of a mixture of lactate (10 mM) and pyruvate (1 mM) stimulated both fatty acid synthesis de novo and the rate of VLDL triacylglycerol secretion. Secretion of esterified and non-esterified cholesterol also increased under these conditions. Insulin suppressed the secretion of VLDL triacylglycerol and cholesteryl ester under a wide range of conditions in all types of hepatocyte preparations. Non-esterified cholesterol secretion was unaffected. In hepatocytes prepared from the fat-fed animals, these effects of insulin were more pronounced at D6 than at L2. Glucagon also inhibited VLDL lipid secretion in all types of hepatocyte preparations. The decrease in cholesterol secretion was due equally to decreases in the rates of secretion of both esterified and non-esterified cholesterol.
