Rapamycin Reduces Amyloid-β Plaques and Improves Behavioral Performance in a Sex-Dependent Manner in Mouse Models of Amyloidosis.

Key Points

This research aims to investigate the effects of rapamycin on amyloid-β plaques and behavioral performance in mouse models of Alzheimer's Disease.
Used mouse models of amyloidosis to assess amyloid pathology and behavioral outcomes.
Administered rapamycin to evaluate its effects on microglial activity and Aβ clearance.
Conducted behavioral tests to measure performance changes in response to treatment.
Rapamycin significantly reduced amyloid-β plaque levels in treated mice.
Improved behavioral performance was observed, indicating reduced cognitive deficits.
Increased microglial lysosomal activity correlated with enhanced Aβ clearance.

Abstract

Our findings suggest that rapamycin reduces amyloid pathology and associated behavioral deficits in AD mice, an effect associated with enhanced microglial lysosomal activity and Aβ clearance, highlighting its therapeutic potential in AD treatment.
