摘要:
Objective To examine the changes of Aβ expression and its related metabolic enzymes in the brains of AD and T2DM mice, so as to explore the possible mechanism of type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with AD.Methods Five-month-old APP/PS1 double transgenic mice, ob/ob mice and the wild-type control mice were employed in this study.Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining, Elisa and Western blot were used to detect SP, Aβ and its related metabolic enzymes.Results A certain number of SPs were observed in the cerebral cortex and hip-pocampus of APP/PS1 mice;SPs were occasionally observed in the cortex of ob/ob mice, while no SP appeared in wild-type mice.Aβ40 and Aβ42 levels were significantly increased in APP/PS1 and ob/ob mice brains as compared with controls (P<0.05), thought both Aβ40 and Aβ42 levels in AD mice were significantly higher than those of ob/ob mice (P<0.05).APP expression level was highest in APP/PS1 mice among 3 groups, and its expressed higher in ob/ob mice than that of control mice (P<0.05).BACE1 expression was notably increased in APP/PS1 and ob/ob mice as compared with control(P<0.05), however, it expressed higher in APP/PS1 mice than ob/ob mice (P<0.05).The expression of Aβ degradation enzyme IDE was reduced in APP/PS1 and ob/ob mice(P<0.05), while lowest in ob/ob mice.Conclusions Overexpression of Aβ may be one of main reasons for T2DM combined AD.
