Targeting mTOR to reduce Alzheimer-related cognitive decline: from current hits to future therapies.

Tramutola, Antonella, Lanzillotta, Chiara, Di Domenico, Fabio·2017·Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics

Abstract

Introduction The mTOR pathway is involved in the regulation of a wide repertoire of cellular functions in the brain and its dysregulation is emerging as a leitmotif in a large number of neurological disorders. In AD, altered mTOR signaling contributes to the inhibition of autophagy deposition of Aβ and tau aggregates and to the alteration of several neuronal metabolic pathways. Areas covered: In this review, we report all the current findings on the use of mTOR inhibitors (rapamycin, rapalogues) in the treatment of AD. These results support the role of mTOR inhibitors as potential therapeutic agents able to reduce AD hallmarks and recover cognitive performances. Expert commentary: Despite mTOR inhibitors appearing to be ideal compounds to counteract AD, further studies are needed in order to gain knowledge on the involvement of aberrant mTOR in AD, and to standardize a valuable therapeutic approach that can be translated to humans.

  • Activation of mTOR is a proposed driver of tau pathology given the involvement of tau-related kinases both upstream and downstream of mTOR signaling and the contribution of mTOR-mediated autophagy dysfunction to tau hyperphosphorylation.

    “Activation of mTOR is also a proposed driver of tau pathology given the involvement of tau-related kinases both upstream and downstream of mTOR signaling (Figure 2) and the contribution of mTOR-mediated autophagy dysfunction to tau hyperphosphorylation (Tramutola et al., 2017; Mueed et al., 2018).”

  • mTOR functions as a negative regulator of autophagy.

    “mTOR also functions as a negative regulator of autophagy (Tramutola et al., 2017).”

  • Rapamycin treatment inhibits both tau hyperphosphorylation and the development of status epilepticus and chronic epilepsy in models of pharmacological seizure induction, temporal lobe epilepsy, and post-traumatic epilepsy.

    “Rapamycin treatment inhibits both tau hyperphosphorylation (Liu et al., 2013; Ozcelik et al., 2013; Tramutola et al., 2017) and the development of status epilepticus and chronic epilepsy in models of pharmacological seizure induction (Zeng et al., 2008; Huang et al., 2010), TLE (Drion et al., 2016), and PTE (Guo et al., 2013; Butler et al., 2015).”

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.
