Beta-amyloid protein (Aβ) is one of the most important pathogenic factors of Alzheimer's disease (AD). N-linoleyltyrosine (NITyr) was synthesized in our laboratory and exerted neuroprotective effects in APP/PS1 transgenic mice in previous reports. In this study, the neuroprotective effects and mechanisms of NITyr were evaluated in Aβ1-40-treated primary cortical neurons for the first time in vitro. NITyr treatment attenuated cytotoxicity induced by Aβ1-40, and the best effect of NITyr was observed at 1 μmol/L. NITyr treatment increased the BDNF protein expression and the ratio of p-CREB/CREB, but weakened the Caspase-3 protein expression. Meanwhile, NITyr enhanced the expressions of autophagy-related proteins (LC3-II, Beclin-1, ATG5 and ATG13). The autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3MA) reversed the effects of NITyr on cell viability and the protein expressions of neuron-related proteins, including BDNF, p-CREB and Caspase-3. The CB2 receptor antagonist AM630 weakened the neuroprotective effects of NITyr and the autophagy-related protein expression (LC3-II, Beclin-1, ATG5 and ATG13). Moreover, NITyr significantly increased the expressions of p-AMPK, p-mTOR and p-ULK1, but not p-p38. AM630 ablated the above phenomenon. Therefore, NITyr protected the neurons against Aβ1-40-induced cytotoxicity by inducing autophagy, which involved the CB2/AMPK/mTOR/ULK1 pathway.

D000071186 Beclin-1 An autophagy related protein which functions as a core subunit of PHOSPHATIDYLINOSITOL 3-KINASE MULTIPROTEIN COMPLEXES. It mediates the formation of phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate and functions in AUTOPHAGY, where it is required for maturation of the AUTOPHAGOSOME. It also functions in ENDOCYTOSIS and CYTOKINESIS as part of a separate complex. Beclin-1 associates with INTRACELLULAR MEMBRANES and interacts with the PROTO-ONCOGENE PROTEINS C-BCL-2 and BCL-X PROTEIN.

D016229 Amyloid beta-Peptides Peptides generated from AMYLOID BETA-PEPTIDES PRECURSOR. An amyloid fibrillar form of these peptides is the major component of amyloid plaques found in individuals with Alzheimer's disease and in aged individuals with trisomy 21 (DOWN SYNDROME). The peptide is found predominantly in the nervous system, but there have been reports of its presence in non-neural tissue.

D055372 AMP-Activated Protein Kinases Intracellular signaling protein kinases that play a signaling role in the regulation of cellular energy metabolism. Their activity largely depends upon the concentration of cellular AMP which is increased under conditions of low energy or metabolic stress. AMP-activated protein kinases modify enzymes involved in LIPID METABOLISM, which in turn provide substrates needed to convert AMP into ATP. 5'-AMP-Activated Protein Kinase,AMP-Activated Kinase,AMP-Activated Protein Kinase,AMP-Activated Protein Kinase alpha Subunit,AMP-Activated Protein Kinase alpha Subunits,AMP-Activated Protein Kinase beta Subunit,AMP-Activated Protein Kinase beta Subunits,AMP-Activated Protein Kinase gamma Subunit,AMP-Activated Protein Kinase gamma Subunits,PRKAA,5' AMP Activated Protein Kinase,AMP Activated Kinase,AMP Activated Protein Kinase,AMP Activated Protein Kinase alpha Subunit,AMP Activated Protein Kinase alpha Subunits,AMP Activated Protein Kinase beta Subunit,AMP Activated Protein Kinase beta Subunits,AMP Activated Protein Kinase gamma Subunit,AMP Activated Protein Kinase gamma Subunits,AMP Activated Protein Kinases
