Background
Alzheimer's disease is an senile neurodegenerative disease characterized clinically by loss of memory and decline of cognitive function in the brain. A significant pathological feature of alzheimer's disease patients is the massive aggregation of amyloid aβ in the brain and the presence of neuroinflammation, leading to massive neuronal death. Thus, understanding how aβ deposition and neuroinflammation are controlled is critical for the prevention and delay of onset of neurodegenerative diseases. Previous studies have shown that m in the brain of Alzheimer's disease patients and mouse models 6 A modification level and Mettl3 protein expression level are abnormal, but for Mettl3 mediated m 6 The specific role of modification a in alzheimer's disease is currently unknown.
m 6 The A modification is one of the most abundant and widely studied types of modification present on messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA). In mammalian cells, m is present in about 20% to 40% of transcripts 6 And A modification. Mettl3 belongs to the Mettl methyltransferase family, which catalyzes m by providing methyl with S-adenosylmethionine 6 The methylation reaction of a occurs. Studies have shown that the deletion of Mettl3 results in m in mRNA 6 The a level almost completely disappeared. There are studies on transcriptome sequencing and m of human brain and brain-like samples 6 A methylation sequencing, through disease-related enrichment analysis of differential genes, found that a large number of genes related to Alzheimer's disease exist m in both brain-like organs and human brain 6 A modified, suggesting that m 6 A may play a considerable role in the development of AD disease. There is study on m in the Alzheimer's disease model mouse APP/PS1 mouse 6 A methylation sequencing revealed that APP/PS1 transgenic mice were m in cortical and hippocampal regions 6 Elevated A methylation level and increased expression level of Mettl3Adding.

Example 15 xfad model mice mimic the pathological features of alzheimer's disease and cognitive memory disorders.
1. Method of
The Alzheimer's disease model mice used in this study were 5xFAD model mice purchased from Jax Lab, and the mouse strain number was: jax #034848.
Immunofluorescent staining: mice were anesthetized with isoflurane, perfused systemically with 1xPBS, then further perfused with 4% Paraformaldehyde (PFA), and fixed with 4% PFA for 2 days after brain dissection. After 3 days of complete dehydration of 30% sucrose at 4℃a 30 μm sagittal section was taken with a frozen microtome. The slices were stored in a preservation solution at-20 ℃. Brain sections containing hippocampal areas were taken and stained by washing 3 times with PBS. The primary antibody was incubated overnight at 4℃with blocking solution (containing 3% goat serum in PBS and 0.1% Triton x-100) for 1 hour at room temperature. The next day, samples were washed with PBS, then incubated with DAPI for 1 hour at room temperature, and slides were prepared by adding a capper after further washing. Images were taken using an Olympus confocal microscope, all taken under the same conditions and settings.
Morris Water Maze (MWM): the MWM was performed in a circular, water filled bathtub (120 cm diameter) with visual cues outside the maze, the water becoming opaque by the titanium dioxide covering its surface, the bathtub being divided into 4 virtual quadrants. MWM is divided into two phases, training and testing. In the training phase, a blind escape platform (diameter 11 cm) is located 1 cm below the water surface. Mice entered the water maze from 4 different starting positions of the pool, respectively. The time of arrival of each animal at the escape platform was recorded, and each animal was trained 4 times per day for 4 days. The testing phase was performed 24 hours after the end of the last training, during which the platform was removed, the ratio of the time the mice were swim in 4 virtual quadrants within 120 seconds was measured, and the first time to reach the position where the escape platform was previously placed and the total number of passes through the platform position were recorded. The experiments were video recorded and analyzed using mazerscan software.
New thing recognition: the test is based on the mouse's preference to contact a novel object. The mice in the experiment were placed in an illuminated white plastic box (60 cmx60cmx30 cm), monitored by overhead cameras, and analyzed by an automated tracking system (San Diego Instruments, CA). On the first day, two identically shaped objects were placed in a test box and mice were placed in the box for free exploration for 10 minutes. After 24 hours, one of the objects was replaced with another object of a different shape. The mice were again placed in the box for 10 minutes to explore the objects, and the time taken to explore both objects was assessed and the ratio calculated.
Y maze spontaneously alternates: three identical opaque arms (35 cm long, 8 cm wide, 8 cm high) at 120 degrees to each other were used, with spatial cues at the distal end. The continuous spontaneous alternation test is based on the natural tendency of mice to explore new environments. The mice were placed in the Y maze facing the wall of one arm at random, and three arms in the Y maze were freely explored for 8 minutes. In general, mice tend to explore the nearest and non-visited arms, forming alternates between the three arms, depending on their spatial working memory. Taking the percent spontaneous alternation as an indicator of the measurement, all alternations (i.e. each time the mouse explores three arms in succession) were divided by all possible alternations (i.e. the total number of entering arms minus 2), and multiplied by 100.
Statistical analysis: data are expressed as mean ± SEM and analyzed using GraphPad Prism software. Determining the difference between the two groups using unpaired t-test; two-way anova and Bonferroni multiple comparison test were used to determine differences between the groups. P <0.05 is statistically significant for the differences.
2. Results
Aβ immunofluorescent staining of 5xFAD mice aged 2 months, 3 months, 4 months, 5 months was used to detect the level of Aβ amyloid deposition, and the results indicated that 5xFAD mice aged 5 months had more amyloid deposition (FIG. 2 a). Behavioral tests were performed on 5xFAD mice (AD) and wild-type mice (WT) at 5 months of age. The water maze test results showed that the 5xFAD mice took longer to reach the platform, had less residence time in the quadrant where the platform was located, had fewer passes through the platform, and had unchanged total movement distance and speed (FIGS. 2b-1 h). The spontaneous alternation test of the Y maze found that the spontaneous alternation rate of the 5xFAD mice was lower, suggesting the presence of working memory impairment (FIGS. 2i-2 j). The new thing recognition experiments showed that 5xFAD mice explored less time for new objects than wild-type mice (fig. 2k-2 m). Overall, the results indicate that 5xFAD mice mimic the typical pathological features of alzheimer's disease, namely amyloid deposition and cognitive memory impairment.
Example 2 Mettl3 expression levels were increased in 5xFAD mice.
1. Method of
Western Blot: the dissected brain hippocampus tissue was rapidly frozen in liquid nitrogen and total protein was extracted. Tissues were ground on ice with RIPA Lysis buffer, then transferred to a centrifuge tube, centrifuged at 12000rpm for 30 minutes at 4 ℃, and the supernatant was collected and quantified by BCA protein assay. Proteins were subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) at various concentrations of separation gel according to the molecular weight of the target protein, and then transferred to nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked with 5% skim milk in TBST for 1 hour at room temperature and incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4 ℃. After 3 washes of TBST, incubation with the enzyme-labeled secondary antibody was performed for 1 hour at room temperature. Membranes were rinsed 3 times with TBST and incubated with ultrasensitive ECL. Protein bands were displayed with a molecular imager imaging system and band intensities were measured with ImageJ software.
2. Results
To determine the change in expression levels of Mettl3 in 5xFAD mice, western Blot detection was performed by extracting proteins from brain Cortex (CTX), olfactory Bulb (OB), hippocampal (HIPPO) tissues of wild-type mice 2 months old (2M), 3 months old (3M), 5 months old (5M) and 5xFAD mice, and as a result, it was found that the levels of Mettl3 were increased in 5 month old hippocampal tissues (fig. 3a-3 d). In the experiment, the m of the hippocampal tissue with the age of 2 months, 3 months and 5 months was also detected 6 A the expression of the other related enzymes Mettl14 and Fto, resulted in no change in protein levels of Mettl14 and Fto (FIGS. 3e-3 g).
Taken together, these results indicate that there is an increased level of expression of Mettl3 in the hippocampal tissue of mice model for alzheimer's disease, and that there is no change in Mettl14 and Fto, suggesting that Mettl3 may be involved in the amyloid deposition process and cognitive memory impairment in mice model for alzheimer's disease.

To determine whether STM2457 can affect amyloid deposition levels and neuroinflammation levels in brains of alzheimer's disease mice, two groups of mice were perfused, frozen sections were performed, and immunofluorescent staining was performed. The aβ staining area was reduced in mice in the cortical and hippocampal areas of the brains of mice compared to control (ad+vehicle) and we detected the intermediates sappβ and ctfβ in the amyloid production pathway using Western Blot, which showed a significant reduction in sappβ and ctfβ protein levels in STM2457 treated (ad+stm2457) groups (fig. 6d-6 f). To detect the effect of STM2457 on neuroinflammatory levels in alzheimer's disease, immunofluorescent staining was performed using the astrocyte marker GFAP and the microglial marker Iba 1. The results showed a decrease in the areas of GFAP and small Iba1 signal, markers of neuroinflammation (fig. 6g-6 i).
These results indicate that STM2457 treated mice with alzheimer's disease were able to reduce the levels of amyloid and neuroinflammation in the brain.

2. Results
The Y maze test results showed that STM2457 treated AD mice had significantly increased spontaneous alternation rate compared to normal saline treated AD mice, while the total number of times into the exploratory arm was unchanged (fig. 7a-7 b). The novelty recognition task test shows that the STM2457 processes the time of the group to explore the novelty increases (fig. 7c-7 d). In the training phase of the Morris water maze test, the STM2457 treatment group took shorter time to reach the platform than the saline treatment group (FIG. 7 e). During the test phase, the time required for the STM2457 treatment group to reach the platform for the first time was reduced, the dwell time in the target quadrant was increased, the number of passes through the platform was increased, and the total swim distance and swim time remained unchanged (FIGS. 7f-7 k).
Taken together, these results indicate that STM2457 can improve cognitive dysmnesia in mice with alzheimer's disease.
The foregoing examples illustrate only a few embodiments of the invention and are described in detail herein without thereby limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention, which are all within the scope of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of protection of the present invention is to be determined by the appended claims.
