Differential gene expression in ADAM10 over-expressing transgenic mice

ABSTRACT: In a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer disease (AD), cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by the α-secretase ADAM10 prevented amyloid plaque formation and alleviated cognitive deficits. Furthermore, there was a positive influence of ADAM10 over-expression on neurotransmitter-specific formation of synapses and on synaptic plasticity. To assess the influence of ADAM10 on the gene expression profile in the brain we performed microarray analysis using RNA isolated from brains of five month old mice over-expressing either the α-secretase ADAM10 or a dominant-negative mutant (dn) of this enzyme. As compared to non-transgenic wild-type mice, 355 genes were found to be differentially expressed in ADAM10 transgenic mice and 143 genes in dnADAM10 mice. A higher number of genes was found to be differentially regulated in double-transgenic mouse strains additionally expressing the human APP V717I mutant (APP[V717I]). Thus, α-secretase cleavage of over-expressed APP[V717I] alters CNS gene expression additionally. Keywords: genetic modification

Project description:Ortega2013 - Interplay between secretases determines biphasic amyloid-beta level This model is described in the article: Interplay between ?-, ?-, and ?-secretases determines biphasic amyloid-? protein level in the presence of a ?-secretase inhibitor. Ortega F, Stott J, Visser SA, Bendtsen C. J. Biol. Chem. 2013 Jan; 288(2): 785-792 Abstract: Amyloid-? (A?) is produced by the consecutive cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) first by ?-secretase, generating C99, and then by ?-secretase. APP is also cleaved by ?-secretase. It is hypothesized that reducing the production of A? in the brain may slow the progression of Alzheimer disease. Therefore, different ?-secretase inhibitors have been developed to reduce A? production. Paradoxically, it has been shown that low to moderate inhibitor concentrations cause a rise in A? production in different cell lines, in different animal models, and also in humans. A mechanistic understanding of the A? rise remains elusive. Here, a minimal mathematical model has been developed that quantitatively describes the A? dynamics in cell lines that exhibit the rise as well as in cell lines that do not. The model includes steps of APP processing through both the so-called amyloidogenic pathway and the so-called non-amyloidogenic pathway. It is shown that the cross-talk between these two pathways accounts for the increase in A? production in response to inhibitor, i.e. an increase in C99 will inhibit the non-amyloidogenic pathway, redirecting APP to be cleaved by ?-secretase, leading to an additional increase in C99 that overcomes the loss in ?-secretase activity. With a minor extension, the model also describes plasma A? profiles observed in humans upon dosing with a ?-secretase inhibitor. In conclusion, this mechanistic model rationalizes a series of experimental results that spans from in vitro to in vivo and to humans. This has important implications for the development of drugs targeting A? production in Alzheimer disease. This model is hosted on BioModels Database and identified by: BIOMD0000000556.
