Background: The accumulation of amyloid β-protein (Aβ) in the brain is a pathological feature of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Aβ peptides originate from amyloid precursor protein (APP). APP can be proteolytically cleaved through amyloidogenic or non-amyloidogenic pathways. The molecular effects on APP metabolism / processing may be influenced by myelin and the breakdown of myelin basic protein (MBP) in AD patients and mouse models of AD pathology. Methods: We directly tested whether MBP can alter influence APP processing in MBP-/- mice, known as Shiverer (shi/shi) mice, in which no functional MBP is produced due to gene breakage from the middle of MBP exon II. Results: A significant reduction of the cerebral sAPPα level in Shiverer (shi/shi) mice was found, although the levels of both total APP and sAPPβ remain unchanged. The reduction of sAPPα was considered to be due to the changes in the expression levels of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase-9 (ADAM9) catalysis and non-amyloid genic processing of APP in the absence of MBP because it binds to ADAM9. MBP -/- mice exhibited increased Aβ oligomer production. Conclusion: Together, these findings suggest that in the absence of MBP, there is a marked reduction of non-amyloidogenic APP processing to sAPPα, and targeting myelin of oligodendrocytes may be a novel therapy for the prevention and treatment of AD.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that is usually accompanied by aging, increasingly being the most common cause of dementia in the elderly. This disorder is characterized by the accumulation of beta amyloid plaques (Aβ) resulting from impaired amyloid precursor protein (APP) metabolism, together with the formation of neurofibrillary tangles and tau protein hyperphosphorylation. The exacerbated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) triggers the process called oxidative stress, which increases neuronal cell abnormalities, most often followed by apoptosis, leading to cognitive dysfunction and dementia. In this context, the development of new therapies for the AD treatment is necessary. Antioxidants, for instance, are promising species for prevention and treatment because they are capable of disrupting the radical chain reaction, reducing the production of ROS. These species have also proven to be adjunctive to conventional treatments making them more effective. In this sense, several recently published works have focused their attention on oxidative stress and antioxidant species. Therefore, this review seeks to show the most relevant findings of these studies.

As a putative marker of cerebral small vessel disease, cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) have been associated with vascular cognitive impairment. Both iron accumulation and amyloid protein precursor (APP) dysregulation are recognized as pathological hallmarks underlying the progression of CMBs, but their cross-talk is not yet understood. In this study, we found a profound increase of amyloid formation with increasing FeCl3 treatment, and a distinct change in APP metabolism and expression of iron homeostasis proteins (ferritin, Fpn1, iron regulatory protein) was observed at the 300 uM concentration of FeCl3. Further results revealed that extracellular iron accumulation might potentially induce binding of APP to BACE1 for amyloid formation and decrease the capability of APP/Fpn1 in mediating iron export. Our findings in this study, reflecting a probable relationship between iron dyshomeostasis and amyloid pathology, may help shed light on the underlying pathogenesis of CMBs in vascular cognitive impairment.
