Abstract

Impairment of axon transport is widespread and early
event in a number of neurodegenerative diseases. The goal
of study is to investigate the mechanisms of retrograde axon
transport impairment in mouse spinal motoneurons after
application of ƒ-amyloid peptide (ƒAP) (25-35) on the central
stump of transected sciatic nerve.
Retrograde fluorescent tracer Fluorogold (5%), ƒAP
(25-35) (10-6 М), or mix was applied to the proximal stump
of the transected sciatic nerve of mouse under the general
anesthesia. At 24 hours after surgery lumbar spinal cord
was processed for morphometric and immunohistochemical
analysis.
The amount of Fluorogold-positive motoneurons at control
was 1223,7162,7 (n = 7), whereas after application of
ƒAP(25-35) - 393,285,3 (n = 5, p < 0,01), which certifies
pronounced inhibition of retrograde axonal transport. Staining
with polyclonal antibodies against caspase-3 did not reveal
motoneurons in apoptotic state. Staining with monoclonal
antibodies against the ƒAP (25-35) was negative both at
operated and intact sides of spinal cord.
Thus, revealed inhibitory action of ƒAP (25-35) on the
retrograde axon transport is not related to apoptotic death of
neurons or accumulation of ƒAP (25-35) inside the neuronal
soma, but, evidently, is mediated by intraaxonal effects.
Obtained data has great importance for understanding of
mechanisms of Alzheimers disease pathogenesis.
