Impact of chronic doxycycline treatment in the APP/PS1 mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

Résumé

Due to the pathophysiological complexity of Alzheimer's disease, multitarget approaches able to mitigate several pathogenic mechanisms are of interest. Previous studies have pointed to the neuroprotective potential of Doxycycline (Dox), a safe and inexpensive second-generation tetracycline. Dox has been particularly reported to slow down aggregation of misfolded proteins but also to mitigate neuroinflammatory processes. Here, we have evaluated the pre-clinical potential of Dox in the APP/PS1 mouse model of amyloidogenesis. Dox was provided to APP/PS1 mice from the age of 8 months, when animals already exhibit amyloid pathology and memory deficits. Spatial memory was then evaluated from 9 to 10 months of age. Our data demonstrated that Dox moderately improved the spatial memory of APP/PS1 mice without exerting major effect on amyloid lesions. While Dox did not alleviate overall glial reactivity, we could evidence that it rather enhanced the amyloid-dependent upregulation of several neuroinflammatory markers such as CCL3 and CCL4. Finally, Dox exerted differentially regulated the levels of synaptic proteins in the hippocampus and the cortex of APP/PS1 mice. Overall, these observations support that chronic Dox delivery does not provide major pathophysiological improvements in the APP/PS1 mouse model.
