Diabetes mellitus and Alzheimer's disease: GSK-3β as a potential link
Abstract
It is well known that Alzheimer's disease (AD) is closely related to diabetes mellitus (DM), and AD is also regarded as Type 3 diabetes (T3D). However, the exact link between AD and DM is still unclear. Recently, more and more evidence has shown that glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) may be the potential link between DM and AD. In DM, GSK-3β is the crucial enzyme of glycogen synthesis, which plays a key role in regulating blood glucose. More importantly, GSK-3β is one of the key factors leading to insulin deficiency and insulin resistance, and insulin resistance is an important hallmark of the occurrence and development of DM. In AD, GSK-3β plays an important role in hyperphosphorylation of microtubule-associated protein tau (tau), which is one of the pathological features in AD. GSK-3β is one of the important kinases of tau phosphorylation and is involved in the insulin/phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B (insulin/PI3K/Akt) signaling pathway. Dysfunction of the insulin/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, which regulates glucose metabolism in the brain, can lead to tau hyperphosphorylation in the brain of AD patents. Additionally, insulin resistance in DM may cause β-amyloid (Aβ) deposition, which will be cleared by tau, but excessive phosphorylation of tau will further aggravate the neurotoxicity; then damage the brain and affect the cognitive function. GSK-3β is considered as a common kinase in insulin signaling transduction and tau protein phosphorylation, so we have reasons to believe that GSK-3β is a potential link between DM and AD.

“Impaired insulin secretion is multifactorial, the exact mechanism is still unclear, but commonly develops from glucose toxicity, lipid toxicity, immunoinflammatory response, and oxidative stress, leading to the dysfunction of islet β cells (72).”

In the citing paper
“When the insulin signaling pathway fails, the expression of GSK3β improves, which reduces the insulin sensitivity and increases the levels of blood glucose, thus subsequently leading to T2D (72, 96, 97).”

In the citing paper
“In addition, the impairment of insulin signaling induces an increased activation of GSK-3β, which phosphorylates Tau, hence leading to Tau hyperphosphorylation (Hong and Lee, 1997; Planel et al., 2007; Zhang et al., 2018; Wei et al., 2021).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
