Abstract Accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) in the brain is a central component of pathology in Alzheimer’s disease. A growing number of evidences demonstrate close associations between periodontal pathogens including Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) and Treponema denticola (T. denticola) and AD. However, the effect and mechanisms of T. denticola on accumulation of Aβ remain to be unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that T. denticola was able to enter brain and act directly on nerve cells resulting in intra and extracellular Aβ1−40 and Aβ1−42 accumulation in the hippocampus of C57BL/6 mice by selectively activating both β-secretase and γ-secretase. Furthermore, both KMI1303, an inhibitor of β- secretase, as well as DAPT, an inhibitor of γ- secretase were found to be able to inhibit the effect of T. denticola on Aβ accumulation in N2a neuronal cells. Overall, it is concluded that T. denticola increases the expression of Aβ1−42 and Aβ1−40 by its regulation on beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme-1 and Presenilin 1.

Modeling of intracellular processes occurring during the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD) can be instrumental in understanding the disease and can potentially contribute to finding treatments for the disease. The model of intracellular processes in AD, which we previously developed, contains a large number of parameters. To distinguish between more important and less important parameters, we performed a local sensitivity analysis of this model around the values of parameters that give the best fit with published experimental results. We show that the influence of model parameters on the total concentrations of amyloid precursor protein (APP) and tubulin-associated unit (tau) protein in the axon is reciprocal to the influence of the same parameters on the average velocities of the same proteins during their transport in the axon. The results of our analysis also suggest that in the beginning of AD the aggregation of amyloid-β and misfolded tau protein have little effect on transport of APP and tau in the axon, which suggests that early damage in AD may be reversible.
