Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH) contributes to the Alzheimer's-like pathogenesis, but the relationship between CCH and the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains obscure. The aim is to elucidate the potential pathophysiological mechanism in the field of amyloid-beta (A beta) pathology induced by CCH. A rat model of CCH has been developed with permanent bilateral occlusion of common carotid arteries (BCCAO). The cognitive function of rats was tested by the Morris water maze. The levels of A beta (A beta 40 and A beta 42) and soluble amyloid precursor protein (sAPP: sAPP alpha and sAPP beta) were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. The expression of beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1), presenilin1 (PS1), nicastrin (NCT), anterior pharynx-defective 1alpha (Aph-1 alpha) and presenilin enhancer 2 (Pen-2), sAPP alpha and sAPP beta were detected by Western blotting. Morris water maze test showed that CCH induced decline in learning and memory related to A beta levels in the hippocampus. The levels of sAPP alpha, ADAM10 and ADAM17 in the hippocampus of CCH rats were higher than the control ones (P < 0.05); the levels of sAPP beta, BACE and BACE1 increased more than the control ones (P < 0.05). CCH intervention (1-week or 4-week) markedly increased the expression of PS1, Aph-1 alpha and Pen-2 in the hippocampus of rats, but had no effect on NCT. CCH contributed to cognitive impairment and altered the amyloidogenic and non-amyloidogenic pathway of APP processing by boosting the activity of beta-secretase/gamma-secretase and alpha-secretase respectively. The non-amyloidogenic pathway can't overcome the damage role of the amyloidogenic pathway in the process of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion which promotes amyloid-beta pathogenesis.
