Many cases of early-onset inherited Alzheimer's disease (AD) are
caused by mutations in the presenilin-1 (PS1) gene. Studies of cultured
neural cells suggest that PS1 mutations result in perturbed cellular
calcium homeostasis and may thereby render neurons vulnerable to
apoptosis. In light of evidence that metabolic impairment plays a role
in AD, that cerebral ischemia may be a risk factor for AD, and that
individuals with AD have increased morbidity and mortality after
stroke, we examined the impact of a PS1 mutation on neuronal
vulnerability to ischemic injury. We report that the extent of brain
injury after focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion is increased, and
behavioral outcome is worsened, in PS1 mutant knock-in mice compared to
wild-type mice. Cultured cortical neurons from PS1 mutant mice exhibit
increased vulnerability to glucose deprivation and chemical hypoxia
compared to their wild-type counterparts. Calcium imaging studies
demonstrated enhanced elevation of intracellular calcium levels after
glucose deprivation and chemical hypoxia in neurons from PS1 mutant
mice. Agents that block calcium release from IP3- and
ryanodine-sensitive stores (xestospongin and dantrolene, respectively)
protected against the endangering action of the PS1 mutation. Our data
suggest that presenilin mutations may promote neuronal degeneration in
AD by increasing the sensitivity of neurons to age-related
ischemia-like conditions. The data further suggest that drugs that
stabilize endoplasmic reticulum calcium homeostasis may prove effective in suppressing the neurodegenerative process in AD patients.
