Partial Loss-of-Function Mutations in Insulin-Degrading Enzyme that Induce Diabetes also Impair Degradation of Amyloid β-Protein

Abstract: The causes of cerebral accumulation of amyloid beta-protein (Abeta) in most cases of Alzheimer's disease (AD) remain unknown. We recently found that homozygous deletion of the insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) gene in mice results in an early and marked elevation of cerebral Abeta. Both genetic linkage and allelic association in the IDE region of chromosome 10 have been reported in families with late-onset AD. For IDE to remain a valid candidate gene for late-onset AD on functional grounds, it must be shown that … Show more

“…This enzyme, a metalloprotease enzyme responsible for insulin degradation, had been shown to have a key role in b-amyloid (Ab) peptide degradation both in vitro and in vivo, and was selective for Ab monomer. [9][10][11] Thus, substances which induce the upregulation of IDE enzyme are expected to be promising drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Compound 1 induced reporter gene expression under the control of the IDE promoter more than three times at a concentration of 100 mM.…”

“…Loss-offunction mutations or pharmacological inhibition of IDE increases amyloid accumulation in pancreatic beta cells and in the central nervous system [19][20][21]. On the other hand, IDE overproduction increases insulin degradation and decreases the efficiency of insulin stimulation in the insulin signalling pathway [22].…”

“…Insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE), a metalloprotease enzyme responsible for insulin degradation, has been demonstrated to play a key role in ␤-amyloid (A␤) peptide degradation both in vitro and in vivo and is selective for A␤ monomer Farris et al, 2003Farris et al, , 2004. Genetic linkage studies have linked Alzheimer's disease (AD) and plasma A␤42 levels to chromosome 10q, which harbors the IDE gene (Bertram et al, 2000;ErtekinTaner et al, 2000).…”
