Effect of Huanglian Jiedutang on Learning and Memory Ability and Cholinergic System in AD Rats Induced by Aβ1-42
To investigate the effects of Huanglian Jiedutang on learning and memory ability and the cholinergic system in Alzheimer's disease(AD) rats induced by amyloid
β
-protein(A
β
)
1-42
.
Method
2
Sixty male SD rats were divided into normal group, model group, huperzine A group (2.1×10
-5
g·kg
-1
), high-, medium- and low dose of Huanglian Jiedutang groups (6,3,1.5 g·kg
-1
). AD rat model was replicated by hippocampal injection of A
β
1-42
. After 4 weeks of treatment, Morris water maze test was performed. Hematoxylineosin (HE) staining was used to observe the pathological changes of rat hippocampus. Sampling blood from abdominal aorta was taken. Acetylcholine (ACh), acetylcholinesterase (AchE) and choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) in serum and hippocampus were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The expression of hippocampal
α
7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (
α
7nAChR) protein was detected by Western blot. The expression of hippocampal
α
7nAChR mRNA was detected by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR).
Result
2
Compared with the normal group, there were obvious pathological changes in the model group,such as neuron necrosis in the cerebral cortex,pyramidal cell or granular cell necrosis in the hippocampus,disorder of arrangement and inflammatory cell infiltration,prolonged escape latency,decreased escape platform times,decreased residence time in the effective area and swimming path in the effective area (
P<
0.05,
P<
0.01). The contents of
α
7nAChR mRNA,ACh,AchE,ChAT,
α
7nAChR in the hippocampus decreased (
P<
0.01). Compared with the model group,the escape latency of the middle dose group was shorter (
P<
0.05), the escape platform times,the swimming path in the effective area and the residence time in the effective area increased (
P<
0.05,
P<
0.01), the contents of serum ACh,ChAT, hippocampal AchE,ChAT and
α
7nAChR increased (
P<
0.05,). The expression of hippocampal
α
7nAChR protein significantly increased (
P<
0.01), the residence time of effective area in high dose group was prolonged (
P<
0.01), the times of escape platform increased,and the contents of serum ACh,ChAT and hippocampal ACh,AchE,
α
7nAChR protein and
α
7nAChR mRNA increased (
P<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Huanglian Jiedutang can significantly improve the learning and memory ability of AD rats induced by A
β
1-42
,and its mechanism may be related to the improvement of cholinergic system damage and enhancement of cholinergic system function induced by A
β
1-42
.
