AIMS: Cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients has been linked to synaptic damage and neuronal loss. Hyperphosphorylation of tau protein destabilizes microtubules leading to the accumulation of autophagy/vesicular material and the generation of dystrophic neurites, thus contributing to axonal/synaptic dysfunction. In this study, we analyzed the effect of a microtubule-stabilizing compound in the progression of the disease in the hippocampus of APP751SL/PS1M146L transgenic model. METHODS: APP/PS1 mice (3 month-old) were treated with a weekly intraperitoneal injection of 2 mg/kg epothilone-D (Epo-D) for 3 months. Vehicle-injected animals were used as controls. Mice were tested on the Morris water maze, Y-maze and object-recognition tasks for memory performance. Abeta, AT8, ubiquitin and synaptic markers levels were analyzed by Western-blots. Hippocampal plaque, synaptic and dystrophic loadings were quantified by image analysis after immunohistochemical stainings. RESULTS: Epo-D treated mice exhibited a significant improvement in the memory tests compared to controls. The rescue of cognitive deficits was associated to a significant reduction in the AD-like hippocampal pathology. Levels of Abeta, APP and ubiquitin were significantly reduced in treated animals. This was paralleled by a decrease in the amyloid burden, and more importantly, in the plaque-associated axonal dystrophy pathology. Finally, synaptic levels were significantly restored in treated animals compared to controls. CONCLUSION: Epo-D treatment promotes synaptic and spatial memory recovery, reduces the accumulation of extracellular Abeta and the associated neuritic pathology in the hippocampus of APP/PS1 model. Therefore, microtubule stabilizing drugs could be considered therapeutical candidates to slow down AD progression. Supported by FIS-PI12/01431 and PI15/00796 (AG),FIS-PI12/01439 and PI15/00957(JV)

Este artículo es parte de un trabajo emergente dirigido a la creación automática de juegos de estrategia en tiempo real (RTS), lo cual incluye la generación de contenido, la creación de la inteligencia artificial del juego (es decir, de los jugadores virtuales) y de la propia mecánica del mismo. En este artículo se describe un editor que consta de múltiples parámetros que pueden configurarse para activar o desactivar decenas de reglas que pueden cambiar la mecánica de un juego RTS. El trabajo aquí descrito se realiza en el contexto del juego Eryna, una plataforma de experimentación implementada en la Universidad de Málaga. El editor de reglas es una herramienta que será usada en el futuro para permitir la evolución automática de las reglas de este videojuego y la creación de distintas mecánicas para el mismo. Lo que presentamos aquí debe ser evaluado como un trabajo emergente en el cual estamos trabajando.
