It has been demonstrated Inhibitor Kappa B Kinase beta (IKK beta) facilitates autophagy, which in turn mediates p-Tau protein clearance. However, the specific regulatory mechanism in Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains unclear. Firstly, AD model was generated by the intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of the.-amyloid 1-42 (A beta(1-42)) peptide. Subsequently, mice were injected with shRNA adenoviral transduction particles designed to target DJ-1 or A beta(1-42) or A beta(1-42) + shNC or A beta(1-42) + shRNA against DJ-1. shRNA against DJ-1 were injected into hippocampus of mice (8 x 10(4) viral particles for each mice) for seven consecutive days. Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect the accumulation of A beta in the hippocampus of mice, and Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) staining assay was carried to detect pathological changes in the hippocampus of mice. Further, sh-IKK beta, shDJ-1, pcDNA-IKK beta and pcDNA-DJ-1 plasmids were transfected into HT-22 cells, MTT assay, TUNEL staining and Hoechst staining were performed to detect cell viability and apoptosis, respectively. Western blotting was carried to measure the relative expression of proteins. Findings indicated that A beta(1-42) inhibited autophagy and up-regulated p-Tau protein expression; Overexpression of IKK beta and DJ-1 all rescued the autophagy inhibited by A beta(1-42) and down-regulated p-Tau protein expression induced by A beta(1-42); DJ-1 up-regulated IKK beta via p-VHL, further promoted autophagy and reduced the expression of p-Tau protein; DJ-1 knockdown inhibited autophagy and up-regulated p-Tau protein expression, resulting in delayed behavior in mice. In conclusion, IKK beta, modulated by DJ-1/p-VHL, reduces p-Tau accumulation via autophagy in AD's disease model. This study may provide theoretical basis for the treatment of AD. (C) 2020 IBRO.
