• W2090956088 abstract "The accumulation of fibrillar aggregates of beta Amyloid (Aβ) in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) brain is associated with chronic brain inflammation. Although activated microglia (μglia) can potentially clear toxic amyloid, chronic activation may lead to excessive production of neurotoxins. Recent epidemiological and clinical data have raised questions about the use of anti-inflammatory steroids (glucocorticoids, Gcs) and estrogens for treatment or prevention of AD. Since very little is known about steroid effects on μglial interactions with amyloid, we investigated the effects of the synthetic Gc dexamethasone (DXM) and 17-β estradiol (E2) in vitro in a murine μglial-like N9 cell line on toxin production and intracellular Aβ accumulation. To determine whether the steroid alterations of Aβ uptake in vitro had relevance in vivo, we examined the effects of these steroids on Aβ accumulation and μglial responses to Aβ infused into rat brain. Our in vitro data demonstrate for the first time that Gc dose-dependently enhanced μglial Aβ accumulation and support previous work showing that E2 enhances Aβ uptake. Despite both steroids enhancing uptake, degradation was impeded, particularly with Gcs. Distinct differences between the two steroids were observed in their effect on toxin production and cell viability. Gc dose-dependently increased toxicity and potentiated Aβ induction of nitric oxide, while E2 promoted cell viability and inhibited Aβ induction of nitric oxide. The steroid enhancement of μglial uptake and impedence of degradation observed in vitro were consistent with observations from in vivo studies. In the brains of Aβ-infused rats, the μglial staining in entorhinal cortex layer 3, not associated with Aβ deposits was increased in response to Aβ infusion and this effect was blocked by feeding rats prednisolone. In contrast, E2 enhanced μglial staining in Aβ-infused rats. Aβ-immunoreactive (ir) deposits were quantitatively smaller, appeared denser, and were associated with robust μglial responses. Despite the fact that steroid produced a smaller more focal deposit, total extracted Aβ in cortical homogenate was elevated. Together, the in vivo and in vitro data support a role for steroids in plaque compaction. Our data are also consistent with the hypothesis that although E2 is less potent than Gc in impeding Aβ degradation, long term exposure to both steroids could reduce Aβ clearance and clinical utility. These data showing Gc potentiation of Aβ-induced μglial toxins may help explain the lack of epidemiological correlation for AD. The failure of both steroids to accelerate Aβ degradation may explain their lack of efficacy for treatment of AD." @default.
