α-Endosulfine regulates amyloid β 42 via the modulation of neprilysin activity
bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)(2020)
摘要
The neuropeptide somatostatin (SST) regulates amyloid β peptide (Aβ) catabolism by enhancing neprilysin (NEP)-catalyzed proteolytic degradation. However, the mechanism by which SST regulates NEP activity remains unclear. Here we report the identification by differential proteomics of α-endosulfine (ENSA), an endogenous ligand of the ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel, as a negative regulator of NEP activity downstream of SST signaling. Genetic deficiency of ENSA resulted in enhanced NEP activity and decreased Aβ deposition in the brains of wild-type and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) model mice. Pharmacological intervention to increase the probability of KATP channel opening reduced Aβ deposition in AD model mice. Our findings provide new insights into possible mechanisms to prevent AD.
