Antagonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ induces cerebellar amyloid-β levels and motor dysfunction in APP/PS1 transgenic mice

Abstract

Recent evidences show that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) is involved in the modulation of the amyloid-beta (Abeta) cascade causing Alzheimer's disease (AD) and treatment with PPARgamma agonists protects against AD pathology. However, the function of PPARgamma steady-state activity in Abeta cascade and AD pathology remains unclear. In this study, an antagonist of PPARgamma, GW9662, was injected into the fourth ventricle of APP/PS1 transgenic mice to inhibit PPARgamma activity in cerebellum. The results show that inhibition of PPARgamma significantly induced Abeta levels in cerebellum and caused cerebellar motor dysfunction in APP/PS1 transgenic mice. Moreover, GW9662 treatment markedly decreased the cerebellar levels of insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE), which is responsible for the cellular degradation of Abeta. Since cerebellum is spared from significant Abeta accumulation and neurotoxicity in AD patients and animal models, these findings suggest a crucial role of PPARgamma steady-state activity in protection of cerebellum against AD pathology.

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.
