Project Summary/Abstract: Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and osteoarthritis (OA) are two of the most common health conditions affecting the elderly population, and the economic and health impacts of AD and OA will markedly increase over the next several decades as the elderly population grows. Deposition of beta-amyloid protein (Aβ) outside neurons and abnormally phosphorylated Tau protein (pTau) inside neurons are two hallmark changes in the brain associated with AD. Interestingly, our preliminary studies also found Aβ deposition and higher levels of pTau in the joints of aged mice (96-weeks-old) and during OA progression in mouse knee joints following non-invasive ACL injury. Additionally, we found that 17-month-old APP/PS1 mice, an established model of AD, had Aβ plaques in the synovium of their knee joints. Taken together, these observations suggest a common underlying mechanism between OA and AD, and raise the possibility that systemic inflammation associated with OA may accelerate the progression of AD. The overall goal of our funded R01 grant is to determine how biomechanical interventions can be utilized following joint injury to mitigate joint inflammation and affect the progression of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). The research proposed in this supplement will extend this line of investigation to determine if systemic inflammation during OA progression accelerates AD progression in a genetic mouse model of AD (APP/PS1 mice), and whether this effect can be mitigated by joint unloading during the early phase post-injury. We hypothesize that OA and AD share a similar pathogenetic mechanism, and that inflammation associated with OA progression can accelerate AD progression and cognitive decline. Our specific aim is to determine whether OA-associated systemic inflammation accelerates the onset of AD progression and deterioration of cognitive function in APP/PS1 mice, and whether this acceleration can be mitigated by early phase unloading. This supplement extends the focus of our research to investigate the connection between OA and AD pathologies in the joint and brain. This supplement study will lead to future R01 applications that will expand these results into more comprehensive translational research on whether systemic inflammation from the peripheral organs such as synovial joints may be associated with early-onset and faster progression of AD. It is also our long-term goal to develop early diagnostic strategies and novel pharmaceutical interventions to prevent the accumulation of Aβ and pTau in the joint and brain, which could potentially slow or prevent the progression of both OA and AD.

项目摘要/摘要： 阿尔茨海默氏病（AD）和骨关节炎（OA）是影响该疾病的两种 老年人口以及AD和OA的经济和健康影响将在下一个 数十年来，随着人口的增长。神经元外的β-淀粉样蛋白（Aβ）的沉积和 神经元内的磷酸化tau蛋白（PTAU）是大脑相关的两个标志性变化 与广告。有趣的是，我们的初步研究还发现Aβ沉积和较高水平的PTAU在关节中 非侵入性ACL损伤后，老年小鼠（96周龄）和在OA进展过程中。 此外，我们发现17个月大的APP/PS1小鼠是一种已建立的AD模型，在该模型中具有Aβ斑块。 膝关节的滑膜。综上所述，这些观察结果表明了一种共同的基本机制 在OA和AD之间，并提高了与OA相关的全身性炎症的可能性 AD的进展。我们资助的R01赠款的总体目标是确定生物力学干预措施 可以在关节损伤后使用以减轻关节感染并影响创伤后的进展 骨关节炎（PTOA）。该补充剂中提出的研究将扩展此调查范围以确定 如果OA进展过程中的全身炎症会在AD的遗传小鼠模型中加速AD的进展 （APP/PS1小鼠），以及在伤害后早期阶段卸载是否可以缓解这种效果。 我们假设OA和AD具有相似的致病机制，并且与 OA的进展可以加速AD的进展和认知能力下降。我们的具体目的是确定是否 OA相关的全身性炎症加速了AD进展的发作和认知的恶化 在APP/PS1小鼠中的功能，以及是否可以通过早期卸载来减轻这种加速度。这 补充扩展了我们的研究重点，以研究OA与AD病理之间的联系 关节和大脑。这项补充研究将导致未来的R01应用程序，将这些结果扩展到 关于外周器官的全身炎症是否此类炎症，更全面的翻译研究 由于滑膜可能与早期发作和AD的更快发展有关。这也是我们的长期目标 制定早期诊断策略和新型药物干预措施，以防止Aβ的积累 关节和大脑中的PTAU可能会减慢或阻止OA和AD的发展。
