Résumé
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age-related disease characterized by altered cognition, neuroinflammation, and neurodegeneration against which there is presently no effective cure. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a key neurotrophin involved in the learning and memory process, with a crucial role in synaptic plasticity and neuronal survival. Several findings support that a reduced BDNF expression in the human brain is associated with AD pathogenesis. BDNF has been proposed as a potential therapy for AD, but BDNF has low brain penetration. In this study, we used an innovative encapsulated cell biodelivery (ECB) device, containing genetically modified cells capable of releasing BDNF and characterized its feasibility and therapeutic effects in the novel App knock-in AD mouse model (App ECB's containing human ARPE-19 cells genetically modified to release BDNF (ECB-BDNF devices) were stereotactically implanted bilaterally into hippocampus of 3-month-old App The surgery and the ECB-BDNF implants were well tolerated without any signs of unwanted side effects or weight loss. ECB-BDNF devices did not induce host-mediated immune response under ex vivo set-up but showed reduced immune cell attachment when explanted 4-months post-implantation.

BACKGROUND
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age-related disease characterized by altered cognition, neuroinflammation, and neurodegeneration against which there is presently no effective cure. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a key neurotrophin involved in the learning and memory process, with a crucial role in synaptic plasticity and neuronal survival. Several findings support that a reduced BDNF expression in the human brain is associated with AD pathogenesis. BDNF has been proposed as a potential therapy for AD, but BDNF has low brain penetration. In this study, we used an innovative encapsulated cell biodelivery (ECB) device, containing genetically modified cells capable of releasing BDNF and characterized its feasibility and therapeutic effects in the novel App knock-in AD mouse model (App
METHODS
ECB's containing human ARPE-19 cells genetically modified to release BDNF (ECB-BDNF devices) were stereotactically implanted bilaterally into hippocampus of 3-month-old App
RESULTS
The surgery and the ECB-BDNF implants were well tolerated without any signs of unwanted side effects or weight loss. ECB-BDNF devices did not induce host-mediated immune response under ex vivo set-up but showed reduced immune cell attachment when explanted 4-months post-implantation. Elevated BDNF staining around ECB-BDNF device proximity was detected after 1, 2, and 4 months treatment, but the retrieved devices showed variable BDNF release. A reduction of amyloid-β (Aβ) plaque deposition was observed around ECB-BDNF device proximity after 2-months of BDNF delivery.
CONCLUSIONS
The result of this study supports the use of ECB device as a promising drug-delivery approach to locally administer BBB-impermeable factors for treating neurodegenerative conditions like AD. Optimization of the mouse-sized devices to reduce variability of BDNF release is needed to employ the ECB platform in future pre-clinical research and therapy development studies.
