Abstract
Although the mechanism of neuronal death in Alzheimer's disease (AD) has yet to be elucidated, a putative role for c-jun in this process has emerged. Thus, it was of interest to delineate signal transduction pathway(s) which regulate the transcriptional activity of c-jun, and relate these to alternate gene inductions and biochemical processes associated with beta-amyloid (Abeta) treatment. In this regard, the survival promoting activity of CEP-1347, an inhibitor of the stress-activated/c-jun N-terminal (SAPK/JNK) kinase pathway, was evaluated against Abeta-induced cortical neuron death in vitro. Moreover, CEP-1347 was used as a pharmacologic probe to associate multiple biochemical events with Abeta-induced activation of the SAPK/JNK pathway. CEP-1347 promoted survival and blocked Abeta-induced activation of JNK kinase (MKK4, also known as MEK-4, JNKK and SEK1) as well as other downstream events associated with JNK pathway activation. CEP-1347 also blocked Abeta-induction of cyclin D1 and DP5 genes and blocked Abeta-induced increases in cytoplasmic cytochrome c, caspase 3-like activity and calpain activation. The critical time window for cell death blockade by CEP-1347 resided within the peak of Abeta-induced MKK4 activation, thus defining this point as the most upstream event correlated to its survival-promoting activity. Together, these data link the SAPK/JNK pathway and multiple biochemical events associated with Abeta-induced neuronal death and further delineate the point of CEP-1347 interception within this signal transduction cascade.
