Lithium, a Common Drug for Bipolar Disorder Treatment, Regulates Amyloid-β Precursor Protein Processing
Abstract
Lithium is one of the most widely used mood-stabilizing agents for the treatment of bipolar disorder. Although the underlying mechanism(s) of this mood stabilizer remains controversial, recent evidence linking lithium to neurotrophic/neuroprotective effects (Choi and Sung (2000) 1475, 225-230; Davies et al. (2000) 351, 95-105) suggests novel benefits of this drug in addition to mood stabilization. Here, we report that both lithium as well as valproic acid (VPA) inhibit beta-amyloid peptide (Abeta) production in HEK293 cells stably transfected with Swedish amyloid precursor protein (APP)(751) and in the brains of the PDAPP (APP(V717F)) Alzheimer's disease transgenic mouse model at clinically relevant plasma concentrations. Both lithium and VPA are known to be glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3) inhibitors. Our studies reveal that GSK3beta is a potential downstream kinase, which modulates APP processing because inhibition of GSK3 activity by either a dominant negative GSK3beta kinase-deficient construct or GSK3beta antisense oligonucleotide mimics lithium and VPA effects. Moreover, lithium treatment abolished GSK3beta-mediated Abeta increase in the brains of GSK3beta transgenics and reduced plaque burden in the brains of the PDAPP (APP(V717F)) transgenic mice.

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.
