Objective:This study was designed to explore the brain insulin signaling and the expression of glucose transporters(GLUTs)in APP/SP1 transgenic Alzheimer’s disease(AD)mice,it may provide the evidence for the early diagnosis of AD. Methods:Western blot was used to detect the expressions of insulin-signaling pathway related proteins in the cortex and hippocampus of the APP/PS1 transgenic AD model mice. Results:Our results showed that in the 3-month-old mice,brain insulin signaling was irritably activated,and the phosphorylation level of downstream AKT/GSK3β and other insulin signaling molecules increased,while the expression of GLUTs did not change significantly at this time. However,in the 5-month-old mice,it showed that the phosphorylation level of the brain insulin signal decreased significantly,and the phosphorylation level of its downstream AKT/GSK3β and other signaling molecules was down-regulated. At the same time,down-regulated expression of GLUT3 and GLUT4 was observed in the hippocampus,and the level of Tau protein phosphorylation(p-tau)was significantly increased. Conclusion:Our results confirmed that in APP/PS1 transgenic mice,brain insulin signaling pathway and glucose homeostasis were significantly disrupted in the process of AD formation,and the impairments increase with age.
