Proteomic Profiling of Cerebrum Mitochondria, Myelin Sheath, and Synaptosome Revealed Mitochondrial Damage and Synaptic Impairments in Association with 3 × Tg-AD Mice Model. Cell Mol Neurobiol. 2021 Feb 09;: Authors: Shen L, Yang A, Chen X, Xiao S, Liu X, Lin J, Zhao Y, Zhang K, Li C, Ke J, Zhang H, Khan NU Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common age-associated dementia with complex pathological hallmarks. Mitochondrion, synaptosome, and myelin sheath appear to be vulnerable and play a key role in the pathogenesis of AD. To clarify the early mechanism associated with AD, followed by subcellular components separation, we performed iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification)-based proteomics analysis to simultaneously investigate the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) within the mitochondria, synaptosome, and myelin sheath in the cerebrum of the 6-month-old triple transgenic AD (3 × Tg-AD) and 6-month-old wild-type (WT) mice. A large number of DEPs between the AD and WT mice were identified. Most of them are related to mitochondria and synaptic dysfunction and cytoskeletal protein change. Differential expressions of Lrpprc, Nefl, and Sirpa were verified by Western blot analysis. The results suggest that decreased energy metabolism, impaired amino acid metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis, increase compensatory fatty acid metabolism, up-regulated cytoskeletal protein expression, and...
