The Involvement of Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 and Nerve Growth Factor in Alzheimer’s Disease-Like Pathology and Survival Role of the Mix of Embryonic Proteoglycans: Electrophysiological Fingerprint, Structural Changes and Regulatory Effects on Neurotrophins
Alzheimer’s disease (AD)-associated neurodegeneration is triggered by different fragments of amyloid beta (Aβ). Among them, Aβ (25–35) fragment plays a critical role in the development of neurodegeneration—it reduces synaptic integrity by disruption of excitatory/inhibitory ratio across networks and...

description | Alzheimer’s disease (AD)-associated neurodegeneration is triggered by different fragments of amyloid beta (Aβ). Among them, Aβ (25–35) fragment plays a critical role in the development of neurodegeneration—it reduces synaptic integrity by disruption of excitatory/inhibitory ratio across networks and alters the growth factors synthesis. Thus, in this study, we aimed to identify the involvement of neurotrophic factors—the insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and nerve growth factor (NGF)—of AD-like neurodegeneration induced by Aβ (25–35). Taking into account our previous findings on the neuroprotective effects of the mix of proteoglycans of embryonic genesis (PEG), it was suggested to test its regulatory effect on IGF-1 and NGF levels. To evaluate the progress of neurodegeneration, in vivo electrophysiological investigation of synaptic activity disruption of the entorhinal cortex–hippocampus circuit at AD was performed and the potential recovery effects of PEG with relative structural changes were provided. To reveal the direct effects of PEG on brain functional activity, the electrophysiological pattern of the single cells from nucleus supraopticus, sensomotor cortex and hippocampus after acute injection of PEG was examined. Our results demonstrated that after i.c.v. injection of Aβ (25–35), the level of NGF decreased in cerebral cortex and hypothalamus, and, in contrast, increased in hippocampus, prompting its multidirectional role in case of brain damage. The concentration of IGF-1 significantly increased in all investigated brain structures. The administration of PEG balanced the growth factor levels accompanied by substantial restoration of neural tissue architecture and synaptic activity. Acute injection of PEG activated the hypothalamic nucleus supraopticus and hippocampal neurons. IGF-1 and NGF levels were found to be elevated in animals receiving PEG in an absence of amyloid exposure. We suggest that IGF-1 and NGF play a critical role in the development of AD. At the same time, it becomes clear that the neuroprotective effects of PEG are likely mediated via the regulation of neurotrophins. |
