Previous reports have revealed that reactive oxygen species (ROS) is involved in the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and recent studies indicate that free radical-generating systems can regulate amyloid-beta precursor protein (APP) processing. Edaravone is a novel free radical scavenger currently used to reduce cerebral damages after acute cerebral infarction. In the present study, we used SH-SY5Y cells stably transfected with the human "Swedish" APP mutation APP695 (SY5Y-APP695swe) as an in vitro model to investigate the effect of edaravone on APP processing. The result showed that edaravone treatment for 24 h down-regulated beta-amyloid (A beta) production in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, edaravone modulated APP processing by increasing alpha-secretase-derived APP fragments and decreasing beta-secretase-derived APP fragments. In addition, the mRNA and protein levels of insulin degrading enzyme (IDE) and neprilysin (NEP), two key A beta degrading enzymes, were not changed after edaravone administration. Taken together, our data suggested that edaravone played an important role in regulating A beta production by enhancing the non-amyloidogenic pathway and inhibiting the amyloidogenic pathway. Thus, edaravone may be potentially useful for treating Alzheimer's disease (AD).
