摘要

The mutant ubiquitin UBB +1 is a substrate as well as an inhibitor of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) and accumulates in the neuropathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). A role for the UPS has been suggested in the generation of amyloid β (Aβ) plaques in AD. To investigate the effect of UBB +1 expression on amyloid pathology in vivo, we crossed UBB +1 transgenic mice with a transgenic line expressing AD-associated mutant amyloid precursor protein (APPSwe) and mutant presenilin 1 (PS1dE9), resulting in APPPS1/UBB +1 triple transgenic mice. In these mice, we determined the Aβ levels at 3, 6, 9 and 11 months of age. Surprisingly, we found a significant decrease in Aβ deposition in amyloid plaques and levels of soluble Aβ 42 in APPPS1/UBB +1 transgenic mice compared to APPPS1 mice at 6 months of age, without alterations in UBB +1 protein levels or proteasomal chymotrypsin activity. These lowering effects of UBB +1 on Aβ deposition were transient, as this relative decrease in plaque load was not significant in APPPS1/UBB +1 mice at 9 and 11 months of age. We also show that APPPS1/UBB +1 mice exhibit astrogliosis, indicating that they may not be improved functionally compared to APPPS1 mice despite the Aβ reduction. The molecular mechanism underlying this decrease in Aβ deposition in APPPS1/UBB +1 mice is more complex than previously assumed because UBB +1 is also ubiquitinated at K63 opening the possibility of additional effects of UBB +1 (e.g. kinase activation).
