Abstract

Cytokines play an emerging role as neurotransmitters, neuromodulators, and neurohormones in the brain. This paradigm shift in cytokine function offers a new framework to understand their roles in ameliorating neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Molecular adjuvant therapy of AD animal models with glatiramer acetate induces antiinflammatory responses and therapeutic effects. Although these effects are potentially mediated through anti‐inflammatory cytokine signaling, the exact molecular identities and pathways are poorly understood. Here, we show that virus‐mediated expression of the mouse interleukin (IL)‐4 gene in β‐amyloid precursor protein + presenilin‐1 (APP+PS1) bigenic mice attenuates AD pathogenesis. Introduction of an adeno‐associated viral (AAV) vector encoding IL‐4 into the hippocampus resulted in sustained expression of IL‐4, reduced astro/microgliosis, amyloid‐β peptide (Aβ) oligomerization and deposition, and enhanced neurogenesis. Moreover, increased levels of IL‐4 improved spatial learning, promoted phosphorylation of N ‐methyl‐ D ‐aspartate receptor subunit 2B at Tyr 1472, and enhanced its cell surface retention both in vivo and in vitro . Our data suggest that neuronal anti‐inflammatory cytokine signaling may be a potential alternative target for non‐Aβ‐mediated treatment of AD.—Kiyota, T., Okuyama, S., Swan, R. J., Jacobsen, M.

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.
