We have shown previously that beta-catenin and cyclin D1 are up-regulated in cortical neurons from homozygous mice carrying the familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD) presenilin-1 M146V mutation in a knock-in model (PS1 KIM146V mice), leading to cell cycle-associated apoptosis. Here, we have aimed to determine (i) whether this phenotype is present in heterozygous PS1 KIM146V mice, which reflects more accurately the PS1 FAD condition in humans and (ii) whether A beta(1-42), which is invariably present in the PS1 FAD brain and is thought to affect neuronal cell cycle kinetics, may contribute to the abnormal cell cycle/cell death phenotype seen in PS1 KIM146V mice. We demonstrate that cell cycle-linked apoptosis occurs in heterozygous PS1 KIM146V post-mitotic neurons. In addition, there is a significant A beta-associated increase in cell cycle and cell death that is not further modified by the PS1 KIM146V mutation. Our results are consistent with a cell cycle-associated neurodegeneration model in the PS1 FAD brain in which the loss of PS1-dependent beta-catenin regulatory function is sufficient to commit susceptible neurons to an abortive cell cycle, and may act synergistically with the A beta cytotoxic challenge present in the PS1 FAD brain to expand the neuronal population susceptible to cell cycle-driven apoptosis.
