Abstract
Recent epidemiological studies suggest that diabetes mellitus is a strong risk factor for Alzheimer disease. However, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. In this study, to investigate the pathophysiological interaction between these diseases, we generated novel animal models which reflect the pathologic conditions of both diseases. We crossed Alzheimer transgenic mice (APP23) with two types of
diabetic mice (ob/ob and NSY mice), and analyzed their metabolic and brain pathology. The onset of diabetes exacerbated Alzheimer-like cognitive dysfunction without an
increase in brain amyloid-β (Aβ) burden in double-mutant (APP+-ob/ob) mice. Notably, APP+-ob/ob mice showed cerebrovascular inflammation and severe amyloid angiopathy.
On the other hand, the cross-bred mice showed an accelerated diabetic phenotype as compared to ob/ob mice, suggesting that Alzheimer amyloid pathology could aggravate
diabetes. Similarly, APP+-NSY fusion mice showed more severe glucose intolerance as compared to diabetic NSY mice. Furthermore, high-fat diet feeding induced severe
memory deficits in APP+-NSY mice without an increase in brain Aβ load. Here, we created novel Alzheimer mouse models with early onset of cognitive dysfunction.
Cerebrovascular changes and alteration in brain insulin signaling might play a pivotal role in this relationship. These findings could provide novel insights into this intensely
debated association.
