PG - e13054 LID - 10.1111/acel.13054 [doi] LID - e13054 AB - A hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the accumulation of amyloid-beta (Abeta), which correlates significantly with progressive cognitive deficits. Although photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT), as a novel noninvasive physiotherapy strategy, has been proposed to improve neuronal survival, decrease neuron loss, ameliorate dendritic atrophy, and provide overall AD improvement, it remains unknown whether and how this neuroprotective process affects Abeta levels. Here, we report that PBMT reduced Abeta production and plaque formation by shifting amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing toward the nonamyloidogenic pathway, thereby improving memory and cognitive ability in a mouse model of AD. More importantly, a pivotal protein, SIRT1, was involved in this process by specifically up-regulating ADAM10 and down-regulating BACE1, which is dependent on the cAMP/PKA pathway in APP/PS1 primary neurons and SH-SY5Y cells stably expressing human APP Swedish mutation (APPswe). We further found that the activity of the mitochondrial photoacceptor cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) was responsible for PBMT-induced activation of PKA and SIRT1. Together, our research suggests that PBMT as a viable therapeutic strategy has great potential value in improving cognitive ability and combatting AD. CI - (c) 2019 The Authors.
