摘要
Beta-amyloid (A beta) is the main component of the extracellular plaques present in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and studies have shown that exogenous application of A beta results in neurodegeneration. As a model of the neurodegenerative action of A beta, we have previously shown that acutely applied A beta inhibits the induction of LTP in the hippocampus in vitro. In the present studies, we have studied the effect of beta-adrenoceptor activation on the A beta inhibition of LTP. Pharmacological activation of beta 2 adrenoceptors, but not of beta 1 adrenoceptors, was found to prevent the A beta evoked inhibition of LTP in the dentate gyrus of adult animals. The prevention of the effect of A beta was shown to occur via the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway as the adenylate cyclase-stimulating agent forskolin prevented the A beta inhibition of LTP, an action prevented by the PKA inhibitor, Rp-8-Br-cAMPs. We suggest microglia as a likely site of action of the neuroprotective effect of beta 2 adrenoceptor activation. Therapeutic treatment for AD may include agents that activate beta 2 receptors and elevate cAMP. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
