PG - 573-585 LID - 10.3233/JAD-190099 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Under stress stimulation, p25 is generated by cleavage of p35 and acts as an activator of cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) like p35. Unlike Cdk5/p35, which is important for brain development, aberrant activity of Cdk5/p25 plays a pathological role in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, by inducing hyperphosphorylation of downstream substrates related to pathological progression. A truncated fragment of the c-terminus of p35, the Cdk5 inhibitory peptide (CIP), selectively inhibits Cdk5/ p25 activity in cultured neurons and in CIP/p25 tetra-transgenic mice. OBJECTIVE: First, we aimed to establish a p25 overexpression adult mouse model, then to evaluate whether CIP delivered by adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9) can ameliorate neuronal toxicity induced by p25. METHODS: The p25 overexpression mouse model was established by intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of AAV8-GFP-p25 in 8-week-old mice. One month later, these mice were i.c.v. injected with AAV9-CIP-T2A-mCherry or AAV9 vector as control. Pathological and behavioral changes were assessed 3-months post-injection in all mice. RESULTS: The p25 overexpression mice displayed hyperphosphorylation of tau at multiple sites, activation of astrocytes, and elevated inflammatory factors, including IL-1 and TNF-alpha, which were significantly decreased by the administration of CIP. However, Abeta deposition and microgliosis were not obvious in p25 overexpression mice. In addition, a significant learning decline and anxiety-like behavior were induced by p25 toxicity, and CIP treatment improved learning ability in p25 mice. CONCLUSION: AAV-mediated p25 overexpression mouse model is easy to construct to study p25-induced neuronal toxicity. Application of CIP after p25 insult reverses the pathological changes and behavioral abnormalities.
