Chronic Brain hypoperfusion (CBH) elevates nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB), which binds with the promoter sequences of miR-195 and negatively regulates its expression. Down-regulated miR-195 up-regulates APP and BACE1 and increases Aß levels. Some Aß then enter the intracellular space and activate calpain, promoting the conversion of Cdk5/p35 to Cdk5/p25 and catalyzes the degradation of IkB (inhibitor of NF-?B)and directly phosphorylates Tau. Down-regulated miR-195 up-regulates p35, which provides the active substrates of p25 PubMed:26118667
Primary cortical neurons exposed to the mitochondrial toxin NaN3 (0.1-3 mM) were submitted to oxidative stress with H2O2 (30-150 μM), to mimic conditions observed in neurodegenerative disorders. The effects of such treatment on a series of parameters useful in characterizing neuronal damage were investigated: (i) the basal release of glutamate, evaluated as (3)H-d-Aspartate efflux, was sharply, concentration-dependently, increased; (ii) the phosphorylation status of intracellular markers known to be involved in the neurodegenerative processes, in particular in Alzheimer disease: tau and GSK3β were increased, as well as the protein level of β-secretase (BACE1) and p35/25 evaluated by Western blotting, while (iii) the cell metabolic activity, measured with the MTT method, was reduced, in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The latter effect, as well as tau hyperphosphorylation, was prevented both by a mixture of antioxidant drugs (100 μM ascorbic acid, 10 μM trolox, 100 μM glutathione) and by the anti-Alzheimer drug, memantine, 20 μM.
