Elevated Levels of Naturally-Occurring Autoantibodies Against the Extracellular Domain of p75NTR Aggravate the Pathology of Alzheimer's Disease

The extracellular domain(p75ECD)of p75 neu-rotrophin receptor(p75NTR)antagonizes Aβ neurotoxicity and promotes Aβ clearance in Alzheimer's disease(AD).The impaired shedding of p75ECD is a key pathological process in AD,but its regulatory mechanism is largely unknown.This study was designed to investigate the pres-ence and alterations of naturally-occurring autoantibodies against p75ECD(p75ECD-NAbs)in AD patients and their effects on AD pathology.We found that the cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)level of p75ECD-NAbs was increased in AD,and negatively associated with the CSF levels of p75ECD.Transgenic AD mice actively immunized with p75ECD showed a lower level of p75ECD and more severe AD pathology in the brain,as well as worse cognitive functions than the control groups,which were immunized with Re-p75ECD(the reverse sequence of p75ECD)and phosphate-buffered saline,respectively.These findings demonstrate the impact of p75ECD-NAbs on p75NTR/p75ECD imbalance,providing a novel insight into the role of autoimmunity and p75NTR in AD.
