- W3138961762 abstract "Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder and the major cause of dementia. There is evidence that synaptic dysfunction and perturbation of Excitatory/Inhibitory (E/I) balance arise at the early stages of AD, altering the normal neural network activity, and leading to cognitive decline. Recent studies have identified Notch signaling as a contributor of neurodegenerative advancement including AD pathophysiology. As part of the efforts to understand molecular mechanisms and players involved in cognitive decline, we employed transgenic mouse models with Notch1 and RBPJK loss of function (LOF) in pyramidal neurons of the CA fields. Using bulk RNAseq. We have investigated the differential expression of Notch-dependent genes either upon environmental enrichment (EE) or upon Kainate injury (KA). We found a substantial genetic diversity in absence of both Notch1 receptor or Rbpjk transcriptional activator. Among differentially expressed genes, we observed a significant upregulation of Gabra2a in both knockout models, suggesting a role for Notch signaling in the modulation of E/I balance. Upon neuroexcitotoxic stimulation, loss of Rbpjk results in decreased expression of synaptic proteins with neuroprotective effects. We confirmed Nptx2, Npy, Pdch8, TncC as direct Notch1/Rbpjk targets and Bdnf and Scg2 as indirect targets. Finally, we translate these findings into human entorhinal cortex containing the hippocampal region from Alzheimer’s Disease patients performing targeted transcripts analysis. We observe an increased trend for Rbpjk and the ligand DNER but not Notch1 expression. On the other hand, neuron-specific targets, Nptx2, Npy, BDNF and Gabra2a are upregulated during the mild-moderate stage, and decline in the severe phase of the disease. These findings identify Notch as a promising signaling cascade to fine-tune in order to ameliorate synaptic transmission and memory deficits that occur during early phase of the Alzheimer’s Disease. Highlights Loss of canonical and/or non-canonical Notch1 signaling in pyramidal neurons of the hippocampal CA field mainly affects the post-synaptic compartment. In both RBPJKcKO and Notch1cKO mouse models there is upregulation of GABAergic receptor subunit alpha2 (Gabra2a). The plasticity genes: Npy, Nptx2,Pcdh8 and TncC with neuroprotective functions and known association with Alzheimer’s Disease are direct Notch/Rbpjk targets. During the mild-moderate stage of AD dementia, Notch canonical signaling promotes the expression of neuroprotective proteins, in the attempt of mitigating the effect of the excitatory-inhibitory imbalance. This activity is not observed during severe stages of the disease." @default.
