Mechanism of Huangjingwan in Inhibiting Tau Hyperphosphorylation in Hippocampal Neurons of Mice with Alzheimer's Disease Induced by D-galactose and Okadaic Acid Resulting in Learning and Memory Disorders
To investigate the effect of Huangjingwan (HW) on the activities of glycogen synthase kinase-3
β
(GSK-3
β
), protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) and the mechanism in inhibiting tau protein hyperphosphorylation in the hippocampal neurons of mice with Alzheimer's disease.
Method
2
After subcutaneous injection with 1.0%
D
-galactose (0.14 g·kg
-1
·d
-1
) into the back and neck of mice for 4 weeks, the right ventricle of mice was injected with 2 μL (75 ng) of okadaic acid for one time to make AD model, and the successfully modeled AD mice were selected by Morris water maze. Then, the selected AD mice were randomly divided into AD model group, memantine group (1.3×10
-3
g·kg
-1
·d
-1
) and HW group (2.5 g·kg
-1
·d
-1
). In addition, the sham model control group and the normal control group were set up. At the same time, 2 μL normal saline was injected into the right ventricle of mouse in the sham model control group for modeling control. Two weeks after modeling, the mice in the two experimental drug groups were given the corresponding dose of the experimental drug by gavage for 4 weeks. In addition, after 2 weeks of AD modeling, mice in control group and AD model group were intragastrically administrated with the same amount of normal saline daily for 4 weeks. The mice in normal control group were only given daily feed. At the end of gavage, all the mice were tested by the open field experiment and jumping platform experiment to evaluate the differences in exploratory activity ability, anxiety level and learning and memory ability. The number of neurons in CA1 and CA3 areas of hippocampus in all the mice was detected by Nissl staining. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) was used to detect mRNA expressions of GSK-3
β
and PP2A in hippocampus of mice in each group. Protein expressions of GSK-3
β
, PP2A, phosphorylated tau (p-tau) and total tau protein (t-tau) in hippocampus of mice in each group were detected by Western blot.
Result
2
Compared with the normal control group, mice in AD model group showed an obvious dementia state, which was characterized by a lower spontaneous activity, lower exploration behavior ability, higher anxiety level, less movement and easier to stay and hide, longer learning response time, significantly increased number of learning and memory errors, and decreased numbers of hippocampal neuron in CA1 and CA3 areas, and reduced mRNA and protein expressions of PP2A, mRNA and protein expressions of GSK-3
β
, p-tau protein and the ratio of p-tau/t-tau were all increased significantly (
P
<
0.01), while expression of t-tau protein was decreased, with no significant difference. Compared with the AD model group, mice in the HW group showed a higher spontaneous activity, higher exploration ability, lower anxiety level, higher learning and memory performance, and the numbers of hippocampal neuron in CA1 and CA3 areas increased, while mRNA and protein expressions of PP2A increased, and the mRNA and protein expressions of GSK-3
β
, the expression of p-tau protein and the ratio of p-tau/t-tau were all decreased significantly (
P
<
0.01), but with no significant difference in the protein expression of t-tau.
Conclusion
2
HW can inhibit tau hyperphosphorylation in hippocampal neurons of AD mice, restore tau protein function, protect hippocampal neurons, and exert an anti-AD effect, which may be related to the regulatory mechanism in the activity balance between GSK-3
β
and PP2A in hippocampal neurons.
