Interaction between Angiotensin Receptor and β-Adrenergic Receptor Regulates the Production of Amyloid β-Protein. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • - Alzheimer's disease (AD) is marked by amyloid β-protein (Aβ) plaques in the brain, with Aβ being a key factor in the disease's development.
  • - Recent research revealed that the Angiotensin II type 1 receptor (ATR) influences Aβ production and that telmisartan (an ATR blocker) increases this production; however, the exact mechanism is unclear.
  • - This study investigated the relationship between ATR and the β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) in Aβ regulation, finding that blocking β-AR reduced the Aβ increase due to telmisartan, suggesting a significant interaction between ATR and β-AR in Aβ production.

Article Abstract

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the formation of extracellular amyloid plaques containing the amyloid β-protein (Aβ) within the parenchyma of the brain. Aβ is considered to be the key pathogenic factor of AD. Recently, we showed that Angiotensin II type 1 receptor (ATR), which regulates blood pressure, is involved in Aβ production, and that telmisartan (Telm), which is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), increased Aβ production via ATR. However, the precise mechanism underlying how ATR is involved in Aβ production is unknown. Interestingly, ATR, a G protein-coupled receptor, was strongly suggested to be involved in signal transduction by heterodimerization with β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR), which is also shown to be involved in Aβ generation. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to clarify whether the interaction between ATR and β-AR is involved in the regulation of Aβ production. To address this, we analyzed whether the increase in Aβ production by Telm treatment is affected by β-AR antagonist using fibroblasts overexpressing amyloid precursor protein (APP). We found that the increase in Aβ production by Telm treatment was decreased by the treatment of β-AR selective antagonist ICI-118551 more strongly than the treatment of β-AR selective antagonists. Furthermore, deficiency of ATR abolished the effect of β-AR antagonist on the stimulation of Aβ production caused by Telm. Taken together, the interaction between ATR and β-AR is likely to be involved in Aβ production.
