Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressively neurodegenerative disease with typical hallmarks of amyloid beta (A beta) plaque accumulation, neurofibrillary tangle (NFT) formation and neuronal death extension. Aggressive A beta accumulation promotes senile plaque formation and perturbs endoplasmic reticulum (ER) function to trigger the unfolded protein response (UPR) leading to neuronal apoptosis. The stress dependent activation of protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) increases the phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor-2 alpha (eIF2 alpha) to promote the preferential synthesis of beta-site APP cleavage enzyme 1 (BACE1) and A beta generation in turn. Additionally, dysfunction in autophagy has been reported to contribute to several neurodegenerative diseases including AD, and impairment in autophagy-mediated pathway may constitutively stimulate the generation of A beta in AD. Here we discovered that protopanaxadiol derivative 1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenethyl)-3-(3-dehydroxyl-20(s)-protopanaxadiol-3 beta-yl)-urea (DDPU) effectively improved the activity of daily living (ADL) and cognitive deficits in APP/PS1 transgenic mice. The crosstalk between A beta and ER stress has been intensively investigated by using DDPU as a probe. DDPU reduced A beta production mainly by inhibiting the PERK/eIF2 alpha signaling-mediated BACE1 translation and stimulated A beta clearance by promoting autophagy as a PI3K inhibitor through PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, while exhibited neuroprotective effect involving attenuation of ER stress. DDPU might be the first reported ginsenoside derivative with dual effects on both autophagy promotion and ER stress amelioration. Our results have highlighted the potential of DDPU in the treatment of AD. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
