Interaction Information:

Comment AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a master regulator of cellular energy homeostasis and a central player in glucose and lipid metabolism, is potentially implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). AMPK activity decreases in AD brain, indicating decreased mitochondrial biogenesis and function.

AMPK

in brain
Comment The roles of AMPK in the pathogenesis of AD include beta-amyloid protein (Abeta) generation and tau phosphorylation. AMPK is a physiological tau kinase and can increase the phosphorylation of tau at Ser-262. AMPK can also directly phosphorylate tau at Thr-231 and Ser-396/404. In particular, AMPK may regulate Abeta generation through modulating neuronal cholesterol and sphingomyelin levels and through regulating APP distribution in the lipid rafts. Accumulating studies indicate that AMPK is a neuroprotective factor against metabolic stress, implicating a significant role in the prevention of AD pathology. Accordingly, AMPK plays an important role in the pathogenesis of AD and is a potential therapeutic target for AD. Research studies also demonstrated that the activation of AMPK has non-neuroprotective property and could lead to detrimental outcomes.

Comment AMPK exists as a heterotrimeric complex composed of alpha-catalytic subunit and beta- and gamma-regulatory subunits. The alpha-,beta-, and gamma-subunits can also be found in different isoforms: gamma-1, gamma-2, or gamma-3 isoform for gamma-subunit; beta-1or beta-2 isoform for beta-subunit; and alpha-1or alpha-2 isoform for alpha-subunit. The alpha-subunits contain the Thr172 residue that must be phosphorylated by upstream kinases for activity and an autoinhibitory sequence domain that inhibits the activity of the kinase domain. The C-terminal domain of alpha-subunits is required for binding the beta- and gamma-subunits. Research evidence also revealed that the AMPK alpha-2 contributes to the deleterious effects of AMPK activation in stroke. Overactivation of AMPK alpha-1 potentiates striatal neurodegeneration in Huntington’s disease.

Comment AMPK itself phosphorylates tau at Ser262 and Ser396 through altering microtubule binding of tau. AMPK plays a role in the pathophysiological phosphorylation of tau via the NMDA receptor upstream of AMPK in a CaMKKbeta-mediated activation pathway. Recent research found that AMPK can directly phosphorylate tau at Thr-231 and Ser-396/404 show that activated AMPK (p-AMPK) is abnormally accumulated in cerebral neurons in 3R(3 repeat tau) and 4R (4 repeat tau) tauopathies, including AD. In AD brains, p-AMPK accumulation decorated neuropil threads and dystrophic neurites surrounding amyloid plaques and appeared in more than 90% of neurons bearing pretangles and tangles. p-AMPK was not found in purified PHFs, indicating that p-AMPK did not co-aggregate with tau in tangles. These data suggest that AMPK activation preceded tau accumulation.

Comment Autophagy is a key clearance pathway involved in the removal of aberrant aggregates of Abeta and tau proteins. Induction of autophagy enhances the clearance of both soluble and aggregated forms of Abeta and tau proteins in vivo and vitro. Autophagy is constitutively active and highly efficient in healthy neurons and the autophagy pathology observed in AD most likely arises from impaired clearance of autophagic vacuoles rather than strong autophagy induction alone. A chronic deterioration of the neuronal autophagy-lysosomal system is likely to be a key event in transitioning from normal brain aging to pathological aging leading to Alzheimer’s neurodegeneration. An improper clearance of proteins in AD may either result from a compromise in the autophagy-lysosomal degradation pathway or induce alterations in this pathway and may result in neuron dysfunction and neuron loss.

Amyloid beta peptide

via lysosomal degradation.
Comment Resveratrol activates AMPK by increasing intracellular Ca2+ levels and by promoting AMPK phosphorylation at Thr-172 by CaMKKbeta and thus lowers Abeta levels through inhibiting mTOR to induce autophagy and then promoting intracellular degradation of Abeta by the lysosomal system in vitro. Two of resveratrol analogues, RSVA314 and RSVA405, share with resveratrol the same mechanism of action: facilitating CaMKKbeta-dependent activation of AMPK, inhibiting mTOR, and promoting autophagy and lysosomal degradation of Abeta.

Comment AMPK activation decreases mTOR signaling activity to facilitate autophagy and promotes lysosomal degradation of Abeta. However, AMPK activation has non-neuroprotective property and may lead to detrimental outcomes, including Abeta generation and tau phosphorylation.

Comment If AMPK is abnormally activated, it can directly phosphorylate tau at Thr-231 and Ser-396/404 in tangle- and pretangle-bearing neurons in AD and other tauopathies. Therefore, AMPK could be either a foe or a friend in Abeta generation and tau aggregation.
