Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the deposition of aggregated amyloid‐beta (Aβ) in the brain, which triggers endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and inflammation and leads to apoptotic cell death. Growing evidence has suggested that endurance exercise is protective against neurodegenerative diseases including AD. However, the cellular mechanisms responsible for endurance exercise‐mediated brain protection against AD remain to be determined. Here, we show that treadmill exercise (TE) prevented memory impairment and reduced Aβ‐42 deposition via the inhibition of β‐secretase 1 in the brain of aged presenilin‐2 (PS2) mutant transgenic (Tg) mouse. Moreover, we found that TE inhibited ER stress‐induced unfolded protein response such as GRP78/Bip, and JNK‐p38 as well as the apoptotic pathways of the UPR such as CHOP, caspase‐12, caspase‐3 with upregulation of Bcl‐2 and downregulation of Bax in the hippocampus. Finally, TE attenuated the generation of TNF‐α and IL‐1β and the number of TUNEL‐positive cells. Collectively, these results suggest that TE will lead to important clinical benefits in the management of patients with AD and provide new insight into the mechanisms by which exercise protects the brain against AD.
