Previous studies revealed a correlation between beta 2-adrenergic receptor dysfunction and Alzheimer＇s disease （AD）, although the mechanism involved is still poorly understood. The current study investigated the potential effect of the selective β2-adrenergic receptor antagonist, ICI 118551 （ICI）, on Aβ deposits and AD-related cognitive impairment. Morris water maze test results demonstrated that the performance of AD-transgenic （TG） mice treated with ICI （AD-TG/ICI） was significantly poorer compared with NaCl-treated AD-TG mice （AD-TG/NaCl）, suggesting that β2-adrenergic receptor blockage by ICI might reduce the learning and memory abilities of mice. Golgi staining and immunohistochemical staining revealed that blockage of the β2-adrenergic receptor by ICI treatment decreased the number of dendritic branches, and ICI treatment in AD-TG mice decreased the expression of hippocampal synaptophysin and synapsin 1. Western blot assay results showed that the blockage of β2-adrener- gic receptor increased amyloid-β accumulation by downregulating hippocampal a-secretase activity and increasing the phosphorylation of amyloid precursor protein. These findings suggest that blocking the β2-adrenergic receptor inhibits dendrite ramification of hippocampal neurons in a mouse model of AD.展开更多

Many factors could influence COPD development and progression. One of them is the genetic risk factor. A severe hereditary deficiency of alpha-1 antitrypsin is the best genetic proof. Four single nucleotide polymorphisms （SNPs） of beta2-adrenergic receptor （β2AR） result in single amino acid substitution. Two loci had been extensively studied and found that they could change the function of β2AR. Two SNPs consist of substitutions of glycine for arginine at amino acid position 16, glutamic acid for glutamine at position 27. Many studies proved that polymorphisms at position 16 and 27 altered the lung function of COPD patients or the patient＇s susceptibility to the development of COPD. However, there was no exclusive conclusion. Therefore, a meta analysis was done to investigate the effect of polymorphisms in the 62-adrenergic receptor （ADRB2） gene on the risk of COPD and lung function. Methods Comprehensive searches of MEDLINE, Embase, Ovid, HighWire, Cochrane Library, and Chinese databases （CBMdisc, VIP, CNKI, and Wanfang data） from January 1980 to September 2011 were performed, using the keywords： COPD OR chronic obstructive pulmonary disease AND adrenoreceptor OR adrenergic receptor AND polymorphism OR mutation OR variation.
