Effect of Wuzang Wenyang Huayu Decoction on Neurofibrillary Tangles by Inhibiting Cyclin-dependent Kinase-5 Over-expression in SAMP8 Mice
To explore the mechanism of Wuzang Wenyang Huayu decoction in improving the cognitive competence and the pharmacological mechanism for neurofibrillary tangles related to cyclin-dependent kinase-5 (CDK-5).
Method:
2
The 10 SAMR1 mice were used as normal group
40 SAMP8 mice were randomly divided into model group
donepezil group (0.4 mg·kg
-1
·d
-1
)
high and low dose Wuzang Wenyang Huayu decoction groups (5
1.25 g·kg
-1
·d
-1
). Drugs were administered by gastric lavage for 4 continuous weeks. Directional navigation and space exploration ability were evaluated with Morris amaze. Real-time PCR was used to measure the mRNA expression of CDK-5 in brain nerve tissues.Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of CDK-5 and phosphorylation of Tau protein. Meanwhile
neurofibrillary tangles in brain tissue were detected with silver staining method.
Result:
2
As compared with normal group
both CDK-5 expression and Tau protein phosphorylation in brain nerve tissues were remarkably increased in model group (
P
<
0.01)
with significantly increased neurofibrillary tangles and significantly decreased directional navigation ability and space exploration ability (
P
<
0.01). As compared with model group
CDK-5 expression and Tau protein phosphorylation were lower in Wuzang Wenyang Huayu decoction treated groups(
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01)
accompanied by decreased number of neurofibrillary tangles as well as improved directional navigation and space exploration ability(
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion:
2
Wuzang Wenyang Huayu decoction can markedly improve the cognitive competence of SAMP8 mice
and the mechanism may be related to its inhibition on CDK-5 over-expression
and down-regulation of Tau protein phosphorylation and neurofibrillary tangles in brain tissue.
