项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract Alzheimer¿s disease (AD) is characterized by the deposition of amyloid B protein (AB), a small peptide derived from B- and y-secretase cleavages of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). We recently demonstrated that the last 37 amino acids (LRP-C37) of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP) without the NPXY motifs to be necessary and sufficient to increase AB production. Since LRP-C37 alone was a potent inducer of AB production, we used this domain as bait in a yeast 2-hybrid screen, resulting in the identification of Ranbinding protein M (RanBP9). Indeed transient transfections of APP and RanBP9-FL or FL-derived RanBP9- N60 robustly increased secretion of AB in varieties of cell lines, indicating that RanBP9 alters APP metabolism. Most importantly, immunoblot quantification of RanBP9 protein levels demonstrated that RanBP9-N60 and RanBP9-FL were elevated more than six and four-folds in the brains of AD patients and APP J20 transgenic mice respectively. We also found that like LRP and two of its key ligands, RanBP9 is genetically associated with late-onset AD. To gain a better insight on the in vivo role of RanBP9 in the pathogenesis of AD, we generated transgenic mice over expressing RanBP9 in the brain as a part of an ongoing NIH R03 grant. By crossing B6C3-Tg85Dbo mice (APdE9) carrying APPswe, PSEN1dE9 mutations with RanBP9 transgenic mice, RanBP9/APdE9 triple transgenic mice were generated, which produced more CHAPSO-soluble AB and c-terminal fragments (CTFs) compared to APdE9 mice as early as 3 months of age, suggesting that RanBP9 increases amyloidogenic processing of APP in vivo. This R01 proposal is an extension of the R03 project. As loss of synapses is a better correlate of the extent of cognitive deficits in Alzheimer¿s patients and since RanBP9 is present in substantial amounts in neurites and is a strong inhibitor of neurite outgrowth, we next want to examine in this proposal, whether RanBP9-induced altered processing of APP also leads to dendritic and spine injury. We have successfully produced RanBP9 transgenic mice as well as heterozygous null mice for the first time. We propose to compare the pattern of dendritic arborization, spine density, presynaptic and postsynaptic protein levels in the hippocampus and frontal cortex followed by tests for learning and memory skills at 2, 5 and 10 months of age in eight groups of mice, i.e., RanBP9-629 single transgenic, APdE9 double transgenic, RanBP9-629/APdE9 triple transgenic, RanBP9-599 single transgenic, RanBP9-599/APdE9 triple transgenic, RanBP9-/- or RanBP9+/-, RanBP9-/- or RanBP9+/-/APdE9 and wild type litter-mate controls. Neuron Studio, software for automated spine density analysis, will be used to analyze dendritic branching points and spine numbers in Lucifer-yellow-stained pyramidal neurons after obtaining images by laser scanning confocal microscope. If RanBP9 is confirmed as a bona fide target in vivo in this study, the triple transgenic mice may prove to be useful as an accelerated model for synaptic and behavioral deficits.

项目概要/摘要阿尔茨海默病¿淀粉样蛋白 B 蛋白 (AB) 沉积是一种小肽衍生的疾病 (AD) 我们最近证明了淀粉样前体蛋白 (APP) 的 B 和 y 分泌酶裂解。不含 NPXY 的低密度脂蛋白受体相关蛋白 (LRP) 的最后 37 个氨基酸 (LRP-C37) 基序对于增加 AB 产量是必要且充分的，因为单独的 LRP-C37 是有效的诱导剂。 AB 生产中，我们使用该结构域作为酵母 2 杂交筛选中的诱饵，从而鉴定出 Ranbind 蛋白 M (RanBP9) 确实是 APP 和 RanBP9-FL 或 FL 衍生的 RanBP9- 的瞬时转染。 N60 显着增加多种细胞系中 AB 的分泌，表明 RanBP9 改变了 APP 代谢。最重要的是，RanBP9 蛋白水平的免疫印迹定量表明 RanBP9-N60 和 AD 患者和 APP J20 转基因患者的大脑中 RanBP9-FL 升高了六倍和四倍以上我们还发现，与 LRP 及其两个关键配体一样，RanBP9 具有遗传相关性。为了更好地了解 RanBP9 在 AD 发病机制中的体内作用，我们作为正在进行的 NIH R03 资助的一部分，转基因小鼠在大脑中过度表达 RanBP9。将携带 APPswe、PSEN1dE9 突变的 B6C3-Tg85Dbo 小鼠 (APdE9) 与 RanBP9 转基因杂交小鼠，产生了 RanBP9/APdE9 三重转基因小鼠，产生更多的 CHAPSO 可溶性 AB 和早在 3 个月大时就与 APdE9 小鼠相比，发现了 c 末端片段 (CTF)，这表明 RanBP9 增加体内 APP 的淀粉样蛋白生成过程。此 R01 提案是 R03 项目的延伸。由于突触的丧失与阿尔茨海默病的认知缺陷程度有更好的相关性。 s 患者，自从 RanBP9 大量存在于神经突中，并且是神经突生长的强抑制剂，我们接下来想要在这个提案中检查 RanBP9 诱导的 APP 加工是否也会导致树突我们已经成功产生了 RanBP9 转基因小鼠以及杂合无效小鼠。我们首次提出比较树突分枝、树突棘密度、突触前和突触的模式。海马和额叶皮层的突触后蛋白质水平，然后进行学习和记忆测试八组小鼠在 2、5 和 10 月龄时的技能，即 RanBP9-629 单转基因、APdE9 双转基因转基因、RanBP9-629/APdE9 三重转基因、RanBP9-599 单转基因、RanBP9-599/APdE9 三重转基因、RanBP9-/- 或 RanBP9+/-、RanBP9-/- 或 RanBP9+/-/APdE9 和野生型同窝对照。 Neuron Studio，用于自动脊柱密度分析的软件，将用于分析树突分支通过激光获得图像后，荧光黄染色的锥体神经元中的点和棘数量如果 RanBP9 在本研究中被确认为体内的真正靶标，则三重转基因小鼠可能被证明可用作突触和行为缺陷的加速模型。
