Abstract
Aim: In this study, OXYS rats of three ages (1, 3, and 6 months), a proven model of Alzheimer's disease (AD), at various stages of disease progression were used to thoroughly study the effects of amisulpride on behavior and tau protein phosphorylation.
Background: With the growing number of patients with AD, the problem of finding a cure is very acute. Neurodegeneration in AD has various causes, one of which is hyperphosphorylation of tau protein.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate whether amisulpride would affect pathological tau phosphorylation in AD.
Methods: We assessed the influence of chronic administration of amisulpride (3 weeks, 3 mg/kg per day, intraperitoneally)-a 5-HT7 receptor inverse agonist-on behavior and tau hyperphosphorylation in OXYS rats (at ages of 1, 3, and 6 months).
Results: Chronic administration of amisulpride dramatically decreased tau phosphorylation in the frontal cortex and hippocampus of 3-month-old OXYS rats. Additionally, in 1- and 3-month-old rats' hippocampi, amisulpride diminished the mRNA level of the Cdk5 gene encoding one of the main tau kinases involved in the 5-HT7 receptor-induced effect on tau phosphorylation.
Conclusion: Thus, We found that chronic administration of amisulpride could reduce pathological tau hyperphosphorylation while reducing anxiety. We propose amisulpride to have therapeutic potential against AD and that it can be the most effective in the early stages of the disease.
期刊介绍：
Current Alzheimer Research publishes peer-reviewed frontier review, research, drug clinical trial studies and letter articles on all areas of Alzheimer’s disease. This multidisciplinary journal will help in understanding the neurobiology, genetics, pathogenesis, and treatment strategies of Alzheimer’s disease. The journal publishes objective reviews written by experts and leaders actively engaged in research using cellular, molecular, and animal models. The journal also covers original articles on recent research in fast emerging areas of molecular diagnostics, brain imaging, drug development and discovery, and clinical aspects of Alzheimer’s disease. Manuscripts are encouraged that relate to the synergistic mechanism of Alzheimer''s disease with other dementia and neurodegenerative disorders. Book reviews, meeting reports and letters-to-the-editor are also published. The journal is essential reading for researchers, educators and physicians with interest in age-related dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Current Alzheimer Research provides a comprehensive ''bird''s-eye view'' of the current state of Alzheimer''s research for neuroscientists, clinicians, health science planners, granting, caregivers and families of this devastating disease.
