RT Journal Article T1 Insulin Signaling Disruption and INF-γ Upregulation Induce Aβ1–42 and Hyperphosphorylated-Tau Proteins Synthesis and Cell Death after Paraquat Treatment of Primary Hippocampal Cells A1 Abascal, Maria Luisa A1 Sanjuan, Javier A1 Moyano-Cires Ivanoff, Paula Viviana A1 Sola Vendrell, Emma A1 Flores, Andrea A1 García Sánchez, José Manuel A1 García Lobo, Jimena A1 Frejo Moya, María Teresa A1 Pino Sans, Javier Del AB Acute and long-term paraquat (PQ) exposure produces hippocampal neurodegeneration and cognition decline. Although some mechanisms involved in these effects were found, the rest are unknown. PQ treatment, for 1 and 14 days, upregulated interferon-gamma signaling, which reduced insulin levels and downregulated the insulin pathway through phosphorylated-c-Jun N-terminal-kinase upregulation, increasing glucose levels and the production of Aβ1–42 and phosphorylated-tau, by beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) overexpression and phosphorylated-GSK3β (p-GSK3β; ser9) level reduction, respectively, which induced primary hippocampal neuronal loss. This novel information on the PQ mechanisms leading to hippocampal neurodegeneration could help reveal the PQ actions that lead to cognition dysfunction.
