Abstract
Accumulation of amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) is a pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We have previously demonstrated that electrophysiological and neurotoxic effects of Aβ and human amylin are expressed via the amylin receptor. Recently, pramlintide, a synthetic analog of amylin, has been reported to improve cognitive function in transgenic AD mouse models. In this study, we examined the effects of pramlintide on Aβ1-42 and human amylin-evoked depression of long-term potentiation (LTP) at Schaeffer collateral-CA1 hippocampal synapses. In mouse hippocampal brain slices, field excitatory postsynaptic potentials (fEPSPs) were recorded from the stratum radiatum layer of the CA1 area in response to electrical stimulation of Schaeffer collateral afferents and LTP induced by 3-theta-burst stimulation (TBS) protocol. Aβ1-42 (50 nM) and human amylin (50 nM), but not Aβ42-1 (50 nM), depressed LTP. Pre-application of pramlintide (250 nM) blocked Aβ- and human amylin-induced reduction of LTP without affecting baseline transmission or LTP. We also examined the effects of pramlintide on LTP in transgenic mice (TgCRND8) that over-express amyloid precursor protein. In contrast to wild-type controls, where robust LTP was observed, 10-...Continue Reading
