Abstract
The major pathologies of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are amyloid plaques and hyperphosphorylated tau. The deposition of amyloid plaques leads to synaptic dysfunction, neuronal cell death, and cognitive impairment. Among the neurotransmitters, glutamate is the most abundant in the mammalian brain and plays an important role in synaptic plasticity. With respect to synaptic transmission, metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) is highly affected by amyloid pathology. However, the neuropathologic changes in the protein expression of mGluR5 in AD remain unclear. Therefore, to elucidate the alteration in mGluR5 expression with the progression of AD, we performed serial behavioral tests, longitudinal imaging studies, and histopathological immunoassay for both 5xFAD (n = 14) mice and age-matched wild-type mice (n = 14). The 5xFAD mice started showing severe hyperactivity and memory impairment from 7 months of age. In addition, mGluR5 positron emission tomography revealed that while the binding values in the wild-type mice were similar over time, those in 5xFAD mice fluctuated from 5 months of age. Furthermore, the 5xFAD mice presented a 35% decrease in the binding values of their cortical and subcortical areas at 9 months of age compared with those at 3 months of age. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy and histopathological studies showed similar changes. In conclusion, mGluR5 availability changes with age, and mGluR5 positron emission tomography could successfully detect this synaptic change in the 5xFAD mice.
