Objectives: Understanding the ischemic injury contribution to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) onset, pinpointing to post-translational modifications, turnover alterations, secretion of proteins and networks identified as AD hallmarks. Materials: Neuronal cultures prepared from hippocampi of E18-E19 embryos from pregnant Sprague Dawley rats. 5%CO2: 95%N2 gaseous mixtures (Sapio); hypoxia chamber (Billups–Rothenberg). Methods: DIV8 neurons were subjected to oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD). After medium replacement with a glucose-free balanced salt solution (ogR), cells were incubated for 3 hours in the chamber saturated with the gaseous mixture. The restoration solution (glucose and B27) was administrated to neurons (ogR) for one hour (R1h) or overnight (R16h). Results: We observed Tau and amyloid precursor protein (APP) post-translational and protein level modifications after OGD/ogR. Tau cleavage and secretion occurs at R1h through microvesicles (MVs) population, including LC3 and/or LAMP1 positive vesicles, marker of autophagy-mediated secretion (exophagy). In MVs extract we also identified α- and β- C-terminal fragments (CTFs) of APP, and the peptidyl prolyl cis/trans isomerase Pin1. Discussion: MVs represent an intercellular communication delivering multiple cargo with beneficial or harmful messages [1]. Thus, differences in MVs contents after OGD/ogR suggest that ischemia leads to a robust upheaval with the autophagic mechanisms activation resultant in neuron-to-neuron transfer of material with neurodegenerative potential. Conclusions: OGD treatment leads to mis-processed protein unconventional secretion also including exophagy pathway. These proteins represent seeds for protein aggregation according to the “prion-like” propagation mechanism [2] that may represent an early event in AD and proteinopathies.

Abstract

Objectives: Understanding the ischemic injury contribution to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) onset, pinpointing to post-translational modifications, turnover alterations, secretion of proteins and networks identified as AD hallmarks. Materials: Neuronal cultures prepared from hippocampi of E18-E19 embryos from pregnant Sprague Dawley rats. 5%CO2: 95%N2 gaseous mixtures (Sapio); hypoxia chamber (Billups–Rothenberg). Methods: DIV8 neurons were subjected to oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD). After medium replacement with a glucose-free balanced salt solution (ogR), cells were incubated for 3 hours in the chamber saturated with the gaseous mixture. The restoration solution (glucose and B27) was administrated to neurons (ogR) for one hour (R1h) or overnight (R16h). Results: We observed Tau and amyloid precursor protein (APP) post-translational and protein level modifications after OGD/ogR. Tau cleavage and secretion occurs at R1h through microvesicles (MVs) population, including LC3 and/or LAMP1 positive vesicles, marker of autophagy-mediated secretion (exophagy). In MVs extract we also identified α- and β- C-terminal fragments (CTFs) of APP, and the peptidyl prolyl cis/trans isomerase Pin1.
