Abstrakt: INTRODUCTION: Early‐life stress (ES) increases the risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD). We and others have shown that ES aggravates amyloid‐beta (Aβ) pathology and promotes cognitive dysfunction in APP/PS1 mice, but underlying mechanisms remain unclear. METHODS: We studied how ES affects the hippocampal synaptic proteome in wild‐type (WT) and APP/PS1 mice at early and late pathological stages, and validated hits using electron microscopy and immunofluorescence. RESULTS: The hippocampal synaptosomes of both ES‐exposed WT and early‐stage APP/PS1 mice showed a relative decrease in actin dynamics‐related proteins and a relative increase in mitochondrial proteins. ES had minimal effects on older WT mice, while strongly affecting the synaptic proteome of advanced stage APP/PS1 mice, particularly the expression of astrocytic and mitochondrial proteins. DISCUSSION: Our data show that ES and amyloidosis share pathogenic pathways involving synaptic mitochondrial dysfunction and lipid metabolism, which may underlie the observed impact of ES on the trajectory of AD.
