ABSTRACT
Objective:
To uncover the time-dependent expression pattern of ptk2b gene and ptk2b-encoded protein, protein tyrosine kinase 2 beta(PTK2B), in the brain tissues of transgenic animal models of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and its relationship with the levels of Aβ1-42, phosphorylation of Tau (p-Tau) and low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-1(LRP-1) in blood and brain tissues.Methods:
In this study, 5-, 10- and 15-month-old APPswe/PS1dE9 double-transgenic mice harboring the genotype of AD confirmed by the gene test were divided into the 5-, 10- and 15-month-old experiment groups, and simultaneously, age-matched C57BL/6J mice were placed into the corresponding control groups, with 8 mice in each group. All mice were subjected to the Morris Water Maze for test of cognitive and behavioral ability. Expression profiles of PTK2B, Aβ1-42, p-Tau/Tau and LRP-1 in the hippocampus or blood of mice were quantified by using the immunohistochemistry staining, Western blot or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), while the mRNA expression of ptk2b in the hippocampus was quantified by using the real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).Results:
Results of experiment groups demonstrated that as mice aged, the expression levels of PTK2B, ptk2b mRNA, Aβ1-42 and p-Tau/Tau in the hippocampus were increased, and the expression of LRP-1 was decreased gradually. While in the blood, the level of Aβ1-42 was decreased, and the cognitive and behavioral ability was decreased in an age-dependent manner (all P< 0.05). However, comparisons among the control groups, only the age-dependent downregulation of LRP-1 were observed in hippocampus(P<0.05), but other indicators had no significant differences (P>0.05).Conclusion:
In the hippocampus of APP/PS1 double-transgenic mice, the expressions of PTK2B, Aβ1-42 and p-Tau/Tau are upregulated, LRP-1 is downregulated, while cognitive and behavioral ability is decreased, and such changes are presented in a time-dependent manner.Key words
