Abstract:
A common pathological features of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the excessive activation of inositol-requiring enzyme-1α (IRE1α) downstream of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and the abnormal expression of microRNA (miRNA) with a variety of cellular physiological functions. Studies have found that IRE1α and miRNA are not alone in the AD pathologenesis. IRE1α can regulate the expression of miR-200, miR-7, miR-17 and miR-34, and participate in most AD brain diseases such as Aβ deposition, Tau protein hyperphosphorylation and neuronal apoptosis. It is suggested that IRE1α-miRNA signal abnormality is one of the pathological mechanisms of AD. Exercise can prevent and delay AD, but its mechanism is unclear. Studies have found that exercise could interfere with AD by regulating the IRE1αmiRNA signaling pathway. The specific mechanisms of action include: (1) Exercise improves the adaptation of AD brain energy metabolism and alleviates the excessive activation of brain IRE1α signals. (2) Exercise regulates the expression of miRNA in the brain, exerts epigenetic effects, and reduces pathologies such as Aβ and Tau protein aggregation. (3) The IRE1α-miRNA pathway and its downstream protein changes can mediate exercise to resist the development of AD. This article will review the relationship between IRE1α-miRNA and AD pathology and its exercise feedback mechanism, aiming to provide evidence and ideas for AD diagnosis and treatment strategies.
