Effect and Mechanisms of Danxi Tongfeng Fang on Permeability of Blood Brain Barrier and -Amyloid of Hippocampus in Alzheimer's Disease Mice
Objective: To explore the effect and relevant mechanisms of Danxi Tongfeng Fang(DXTFF) on the permeability of blood brain barrier (BBB) and β-amyloid1-40 (Aβ1-40) of hippocampus in Alzheimer's disease (AD) mice. Method: Mice were randomly divided into normal group
model group
donepezil (0.001 g·kg-1) group
and DXTFF high-dose (52 g·kg-1)
medial-dose (26 g·kg-1) and low-dose (13 g·kg-1) groups. Through injection with Aβ1-42 into bilateral hippocampus and intraperitoneal injection with D-galactose
the AD mice model was established. The mice were killed after continuous treatment for 35 days. Water content and EB level in brain tissue
electron microscopy of hippocampus and organ coefficients of AD mice were measured. Biochemical methods were used to determine the content of Aβ1-40 in hippocampus and serum
the content of receptor of advanced glycation and products(RAGE) and low-density lipoprotein receptor related protein 1(LRP1) in hippocampus. Real-time PCR methods were used to determine the expression of RAGE and LRP1 mRNA in hippocampus. Result: Compared with the normal group
the model group showed significant increases in water content and EB level in brain tissue
content of Aβ1-40 in hippocampus and content of RAGE in hippocampus (P<0.05)
and significant decreases in Aβ1-40 in serum
LRP1 in hippocampus
spleen index and thymus index (P<0.05)
regular neuronic morphology in hippocampus CA1
smaller neurons
round and atrophic nucleus
nuclear double karyotheca
insufficient cytoplasm and fewer organelle. Compared with the model group
in the DXTFF group
water content in brain
EB level in brain
Aβ1-40 and RAGE level in hippocampus significantly decreased (P<0.05)
and Aβ1-40 level in serum
LRP1 level in hippocampus
organ coefficients of splenic and thymus significantly increased (P<0.05)
with notable improvement in neuronal structure of hippocampus. Conclusion: DXTFF reduces the permeability of BBB and Aβ1-40 in hippocampus by down-regulating RAGE and up-regulating LRP1 in hippocampus.
