Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the major age-associated form of dementia characterized by gradual cognitive decline. Aberrant cleavage of the amyloid-beta protein precursor (A-PP) is thought to play an important role in the pathology of this disease. Two principal A-PP processing pathways exist: amyloidogenic cleavage of A-PP resulting in production of the soluble N-terminal fragment sA beta PP beta, amyloid-beta (A beta), which accumulates in AD brain, and the A-PP intracellular domain (AICD) sA beta PP alpha, p3 and AICD are generated in the non-amyloidogenic pathway. Prevalence of amyloidogenic versus non-amyloidogenic processing leads to depletion of sA beta PP alpha and an increase in A beta. Although sA beta PP alpha is a well-accepted neurotrophic protein, molecular effects of this fragment remains unknown. Different studies reported impaired protein degradation pathways in AD brain, pointing to a role of disturbed proteasomal activity in the pathogenesis of this disease. Here we studied the possible role of sA beta PP alpha in Bag3-mediated selective macroautophagy and proteasomal degradation. Employing human IMR90 cells, HEK 293 cells, and primary neurons, we demonstrate that sA beta PP alpha prevents the proteotoxic stress-induced increase of Bag3 at the protein and at the mRNA level indicating a transcriptional regulation. Intriguingly, p62 and LC3, two other key players of autophagy, were not affected. Moreover, the formation and the accumulation of disease-related protein aggregates were significantly reduced by sA beta PP alpha. Interestingly, there was a significant increase of proteasomal activity by sA beta PP alpha as demonstrated by using various proteasome substrates. Our findings demonstrate that sA beta PP alpha modulates Bag3 expression, aggresome formation, and proteasomal activity, thereby providing first evidence for a function of sA beta PP alpha in the regulation of proteostasis.
