Effect of amisulpride on the expression of serotonin receptors, neurotrophic factor BDNF and its receptors in mice with overexpression of the aggregation-prone [R406W] mutant tau protein
Serotonin 5-HT7 receptors (5-HT7R) are attracting increasing attention as important participants in the mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease and as a possible target for the treatment of various tau pathologies. In this study, we investigated the effects of amisulpride (5-HT7R inverse agonist) in C57BL...

| description | Serotonin 5-HT7 receptors (5-HT7R) are attracting increasing attention as important participants in the mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease and as a possible target for the treatment of various tau pathologies. In this study, we investigated the effects of amisulpride (5-HT7R inverse agonist) in C57BL/6J mice with experimentally induced expression of the gene encoding the aggregation-prone human Tau[R406W] protein in the prefrontal cortex. In these animals we examined short-term memory and the expression of genes involved in the development of tauopathy (Htr7 and Cdk5), as well as biomarkers of neurodegenerative processes – the Bdnf gene and its receptors TrkB (the Ntrk2 gene) and p75NTR (the Ngfr gene). In a short-term memory test, there was no difference in the discrimination index between mice treated with AAV-Tau[R406W] and mice treated with AAV-EGFP. Amisulpride did not affect this parameter. Administration of AAV-Tau[R406W] resulted in increased expression of the Htr7, Htr1a, and Cdk5 genes in the prefrontal cortex compared to AAV-EGFP animals. At the same time, amisulpride at the dose of 10 mg/kg in animals from the AAV-Tau[R406W] group caused a decrease in the Htr7, Htr1a genes mRNA levels compared to animals from the AAV-Tau[R406W] group treated with saline. A decrease in the expression of the Bdnf and Ntrk2 genes in the prefrontal cortex was revealed after administration of AAV-Tau[R406W]. Moreover, amisulpride at various doses (3 and 10 mg/kg) caused the same decrease in the transcription of these genes in mice without tauopathy. It is also interesting that in mice of the AAV-EGFP group, administration of amisulpride at the dose of 10 mg/kg increased the Ngfr gene mRNA level. The data obtained allow us to propose the use of amisulpride in restoring normal tau protein function. However, it should be noted that prolonged administration may result in adverse effects such as an increase in Ngfr expression and a decrease in Bdnf and Ntrk2 expression, which is probably indicative of an increase in neurodegenerative processes. |
