Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a risk factor for Alzheimer's Disease (AD). However, the detailed mechanism underlying T2DM-related AD remains unknown. In DM, many types of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are formed and accumulated. In our previous study, we demonstrated that Glyceraldehyde (GA)-derived Toxic Advanced Glycation End-products (Toxic AGEs, TAGE) strongly showed cytotoxicity against neurons and induced similar alterations to those observed in AD. Further, GA induced dysfunctional neurite outgrowth via TAGE-β-- tubulin aggregation, which resulted in the TAGE-dependent abnormal aggregation of β-tubulin and tau phosphorylation. Herein, we provide a perspective on the possibility that T2DM increases the probability of AD onset and accelerates its progression.
