In Vitro

Latrepirdine has been reported to possess several properties that are potentially relevant to the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases: (1) protection of cultured cells from the cytotoxicity of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide; (2) stabilization of mitochondrial function and calcium homeostasis; (3) modulation of Aβ release from cultured cells, isolated intact nerve terminals, and from hippocampal neurons in living mouse brain; and (4) promotion of neurogenesis in the murine hippocampus. Treatment of cultured mammalian cells with Latrepirdine leads to enhanced mTOR- and Atg5-dependent autophagy. Latrepirdine modulates Atg5-dependent autophagic activity in a dose-dependent manner and via the mTOR-signaling pathway. HeLa cells stably expressing LC3 fused are treated with EGFP (eGFP-LC3) for 3 or 6 hours in the absence or presence of 50 μM Latrepirdine. Treatment with Latrepirdine for 3 or 6 hours markedly enhances the number of eGFP-LC3 punctae, indicating that Latrepirdine induces formation of autophagosomes. Next, mouse N2a neuroblastoma cells are treated in the absence (vehicle) or presence of 5 nM, 500 nM or 50 μM Latrepirdine for 3 or 6 hours in order to determine the effects of acute drug treatment on the regulation of autophagy. A significant and dose-dependent increase is observed in LC3-II levels in N2a cells following 3- or 6-hour treatment with either 500 nM or 50 μM Latrepirdine. A significant decrease of p-mTOR and p-S6K from N2a cells treated with 50 μM Latrepirdine for 3 hours is observed, whereas the total mTOR and p70S6K levels remain relatively constant[1].

In Vivo

Latrepirdine treatment of TgCRND8 transgenic mice is associated with improved learning behavior and with a reduction in accumulation of Aβ42 and α-synuclein. Male, 90-day-old TgCRND8 mice or their wild-type littermates (nTg) receive 31 consecutive once daily i.p. injections of either 3.5 mg/kg Latrepirdine or 0.9% saline (vehicle). At the culmination of treatment, mice are tested for cued and contextual fear conditioning using a paradigm that has been widely accepted for evaluating learning and memory deficits in APP transgenic mice. A significant increase in cued memory only among Latrepirdine-versus vehicle-treated TgCRND8 mice (p=0.01) is observed. A weak, non-significant trend toward an improvement in contextual memory among Latrepirdine-versus vehicle-treated mice (p=0.099) is also observed[1].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% EtOH    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.83 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL EtOH stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% EtOH    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.83 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL EtOH stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

N2a cells, stable human cervical carcinoma (HeLa) cells expressing EGFP-LC3, and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) derived from wildtype mice or ATG5-/- mice are maintained in “growth medium” (high glucose Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 10% FBS and 100 units/mL Penicillin/Streptomycin) at 37°C, 5% CO2. N2a cells stably transfected with APPK670N, M671L are maintained in growth medium supplemented with 0.2 mg/mL G418. Cells are washed 1× with ice cold PBS (pH 7.4) then incubated with either Latrepirdine (5 nM, 500 nM or 50 μM) or vehicle (growth medium). Following 3-, 6-, or 24-hour of treatment, cells are washed 1x with ice cold PBS, and collected in lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM Pepstatin, 1 mM PMSF, 1% Triton X-100, EDTA-free mini-complete protease inhibitor cocktail tablet) then centrifuged (14,000 RPM) for 15 minutes at 4°C. For time-course experiments, cells are washed 2× with ice-cold PBS (pH 7.4) and incubated for the indicated time in serum-free DMEM containing 50 μg/mL CHX or 50 μg/mL Cycloheximide (CHX)+50 μg/mL Chloroquine (CQ). Baseline (T0) samples are collected immediately prior to treatment[1].

Animal Administration
[1]

Mice[1]
Male 53-55-day-old TgCRND8 mice (N=25) are randomly distributed into either of the two treatment groups: Latrepirdine (n=13 TgCRND8) or vehicle (n=12 TgCRND8). Animals receive 21 consecutive once daily intraperitoneal injections of either 3.5 mg/kg Latrepirdine or 0.9% saline (vehicle). 90-day-old male TgCRND8 mice (N=28) or their wild-type littermates (N=56) are randomly distributed into either of two treatment groups: Latrepirdine (n=13 TgCRND8; n=21 nTg) or vehicle (n=15 TgCRND8; n=25 nTg). Following treatment, animals are sacrificed and transcardially perfused with ice-cold PBS (pH 7.4). Male 90-day-old (n=5 per genotype) or 120-day-old (n=6 per genotype) TgCRND8 mice or their non-transgenic littermates are sacrificed and transcardially perfused with ice-cold PBS (pH 7.4). One hemisphere from each mouse is post-fixed in 4% paraformaldeyhde in PBS (pH 7.4) for histological analysis and the other hemisphere is dissected and snap-frozen for biochemical analysis.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
