Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR gamma) belongs to a family of ligand-activated nuclear receptors known to regulate many crucial physiological and pathological conditions. Indeed, altered PPAR gamma transcriptional activity contributes to metabolic syndromes (obesity and hyperglycemia associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus), stroke and neurodegenerative diseases. various studies suggest that PPAR gamma agonists influence neuronal deficits in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) patients and rodent models of AD. Expression of amyloid-beta (AD), a neuropathological marker associated with the pathogenesis of AD neuronal impairment, is inversely correlated with the activation of PPAR gamma-dependent neuroprotective responses. Nevertheless, molecular mechanisms by which the effects of PPAR gamma agonists in AD remain to be clarified. Here, we explore the PPAR gamma signaling pathways and networks that protect against A beta-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress (e.g., caspase 4, Bip, CHOP, ASK1 and ER calcium), cell death (e.g., viability and cytochrome c) and mitochondrial deficiency (e.g., maximal respiratory function, COX activity, and mitochondrial membrane potential) events in the human neural stem cells (hNSCs) treated with A beta. Co-treatment with GW9662 (an antagonist of PPAR gamma) effectively blocked these protective effects by rosiglitazone, providing strong evidence that PPAR gamma-dependent signaling rescues hNSCs from A beta-mediated toxicity. Together, our data suggest activation of PPAR gamma pathway might be critical to protecting against AD-related ER stress, ER disequilibrium and mitochondrial deficiency. These findings also improve our understanding of the role of PPAR gamma in hNSCs, and may aid in the development and implementation of new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of AD.
