PG - 47-59 LID - S0306-4522(17)30749-2 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2017.10.021 [doi] AB - Ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) has emerged as major molecular mechanism which modulates synaptic plasticity. However, very little is known about what happens if this system fails during postnatal brain development. In the present study, MG132 was administered intracerebroventricularly in BALB/c mice pups at postnatal day one (P1), a very crucial period for synaptogenesis. Both 20S proteasome and calpain activities were found to be reduced in the mid brain of MG132-administered pups after 24 h. Mice (P40) which received MG132 on P1 were subjected to Morris water maze (MWM) training. Analysis showed spatial learning and memory of MG132 mice was significantly impaired when compared to age-matched controls. Hematoxylin and eosin as well as Cresyl Violet staining revealed substantial loss of cellular connections, distorted architecture and increased pyknosis in hippocampal CA1 and CA3 regions of MG132 mice. Immunohistochemical analysis of MG132 mice showed increased accumulation of intracellular amyloid-beta in hippocampal cells when compared to control. Moreover, double immunostaining revealed increased expression of amyloid precursor protein C-terminal fragments (APP-CTFbeta) without affecting beta-secretase expression in MG132 mice. Real-Time PCR analyses showed significant increase in hippocampal expression of alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor subunit glutamate A1 (GluA1), but no change in the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (Bdnf) expression in MG132 mice. Western blot analyses showed decreased levels of pThr286-CaMKIIalpha:CaMKIIalpha and pSer133-CREB:CREB ratio but increased pro:mature BDNF ratio in the hippocampus of MG132 mice. Taken together, postnatal proteasome inhibition could lead to accumulation of intracellular amyloid-beta protein aggregates, which mediate hippocampus-dependent spatial memory impairments in adult mice.
