Alzheimer's Presenilin Mutation Sensitizes Neural Cells to Apoptosis Induced by Trophic Factor Withdrawal and Amyloid beta -Peptide: Involvement of Calcium and Oxyradicals

Most autosomal dominant inherited forms of early onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) are caused by mutations in the presenilin-1 (PS-1) gene on chromosome 14. PS-1 is an integral membrane protein with six to nine membrane-spanning domains and is expressed in neurons throughout the brain wherein it is localized mainly in endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The mechanism or mechanisms whereby PS-1 mutations promote neuron degeneration in AD are unknown. Recent findings suggest links among deposition of amyloid beta -peptide (Abeta ), oxidative stress, disruption of ion homeostasis, and an apoptotic form of neuron death in AD. We now report that expression of the human PS-1 L286V mutation in PC12 cells increases their susceptibility to apoptosis induced by trophic factor withdrawal and Abeta . Increases in oxidative stress and intracellular calcium levels induced by the apoptotic stimuli were exacerbated greatly in cells expressing the PS-1 mutation, as compared with control cell lines and lines overexpressing wild-type PS-1. The antiapoptotic gene product Bcl-2 prevented apoptosis after NGF withdrawal from differentiated PC12 cells expressing mutant PS-1. Elevations of [Ca2+]i in response to thapsigargin, an inhibitor of the ER Ca2+-ATPase, were increased in cells expressing mutant PS-1, and this adverse effect was abolished in cells expressing Bcl-2. Antioxidants and blockers of calcium influx and release from ER protected cells against the adverse consequences of the PS-1 mutation. By perturbing cellular calcium regulation and promoting oxidative stress, PS-1 mutations may sensitize neurons to apoptotic death in AD.

Key words: Alzheimer's disease; antioxidant; bcl-2; dantrolene; endoplasmic reticulum; fura-2; nerve growth factor
