Abstract

Alzheimer's Disease (AD), as the most common neurodegenerative disease worldwide, severely impairs patients' cognitive functions. Although its exact etiology remains unclear, the abnormal aggregations of misfolded β-amyloid peptide and tau protein are considered pivotal in its pathological progression. Recent studies identify ubiquitin-specific protease 11 (USP11) as the key regulator of tau deubiquitination, exacerbating tau aggregation and AD pathology. Thereby, inhibiting USP11 function, via either blocking USP11 activity or lowering USP11 protein level, may serve as an effective therapeutic strategy against AD. Our research introduces IsoLiPro, a unique lithium isobutyrate-L-proline coordination compound, effectively lowers USP11 protein level and enhances tau ubiquitination in vitro. Additionally, long-term oral administration of IsoLiPro dramatically reduces total and phosphorylated tau levels in AD transgenic mice. Moreover, IsoLiPro also significantly lessens β-amyloid deposition and synaptic damage, improving cognitive functions in these animal models. These results indicate that IsoLiPro, as a novel small-molecule USP11 inhibitor, can effectively alleviate AD-like pathologies and improve cognitive functions, offering promise as a potential multi-targeting therapeutic agent against AD.

摘要

阿尔茨海默病(AD)是全球最常见的神经退行性疾病,严重损害患者的认知功能。尽管其确切病因仍不清楚,但异常聚集的错误折叠的β-淀粉样肽和tau 蛋白被认为是其病理进展的关键。最近的研究表明,泛素特异性蛋白酶 11(USP11)是 tau 去泛素化的关键调节因子,加剧 tau 聚集和 AD 病理学。因此,通过抑制 USP11 的活性或降低 USP11 蛋白水平来抑制 USP11 功能,可能是一种有效的 AD 治疗策略。我们的研究介绍了 IsoLiPro,一种独特的锂异丁酸-L-脯氨酸配位化合物,可有效降低 USP11 蛋白水平并增强 tau 的泛素化。此外,长期口服 IsoLiPro 可显著降低 AD 转基因小鼠中总 tau 和磷酸化 tau 的水平。此外,IsoLiPro 还可显著减少β-淀粉样蛋白沉积和突触损伤,改善这些动物模型的认知功能。这些结果表明,IsoLiPro 作为一种新型的小分子 USP11 抑制剂,可有效缓解 AD 样病理并改善认知功能,有望成为一种针对 AD 的多靶点治疗药物。
