- W3195680289 abstract "Abstract Neprilysin (NEP) and insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) are considered the two major catabolic enzymes that degrade amyloid β peptide (Aβ), the primary cause of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, their roles in Aβ metabolism in vivo have never been compared in an impartial and side-by-side manner. Here, we crossbred single App knock-in mice with NEP ( Mme ) KO mice and with IDE ( Ide ) KO mice to generate double mutants that were analyzed for their biochemical and Aβ pathology properties. We found that NEP is responsible for the metabolism of amyloidogenic insoluble Aβ whereas IDE affects soluble Aβ. A deficiency of NEP, but not of IDE, augmented the formation of Aβ plaques, dystrophic neurites, and astrocytic and microglial activation, all of which are key pathological events in the development of AD. In addition, a deficiency of NEP had no significant impact on the levels of various neuropeptides (somatostatin, substance P, cholecystokinin, and neuropeptide Y), well known to be in vitro substrates for NEP, presumably because NEP is expressed in secretory vesicles and on the presynaptic membranes of excitatory neurons while most if not all neuropeptides are secreted from inhibitory neurons. This argues against the concern that NEP up-regulation for treatment of preclinical AD would reduce the levels of these neuropeptides. These findings indicate that NEP relatively selectively degrades Aβ in the brain. Whereas familial AD (FAD) is unambiguously caused by an increased anabolism of Aβ, and of Aβ 42 and Aβ 43 in particular, the anabolism of Aβ appears unaffected before its deposition in the brain that subsequently leads to the onset of sporadic AD (SAD). These observations thus suggest that NEP-sensitive amyloidogenic Aβ likely plays a primary pathogenic role in the etiology of SAD. Our findings are consistent with the aging-dependent decline of NEP expression in human brain and with recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) indicating that variants of the gene encoding NEP ( MME ) are associated with the risk of SAD development. Taken together, our results imply that the aging-associated decrease in NEP expression is a primary cause of SAD and could thus be a target for the treatment of preclinical AD once other factors such as apolipoprotein E genotypes have also been considered." @default.
