摘要:

 

以纯天然中药天麻,人参和银杏叶粉按照2:1:2的比例用纯净水溶解和稀释混匀配制的中药复方天泰1号,对多种认知障碍的动物模型有神经保护作用,但作用分子机制尚不清楚。为此,实验设计选用SAMP8阿尔茨海默病模型小鼠,用天泰1号50, 100和150 mg/kg/d分别灌胃8周,观察Morris水迷宫实验显示,SAMP8小鼠逃避潜伏期缩短;空间探索试验中可增加游泳距离在目标象限中所占的百分比,表明天泰1号可以改善SAMP8小鼠学习和记忆能力。进一步的免疫组织化学分析显示,在天泰1号处理组中海马区标记细胞增殖状态的抗原-Ki67阳性细胞明显升高,海马区星形胶质细胞数量降低,β-淀粉样蛋白的积累和Tau蛋白磷酸化水平降低。整体结果显示,天泰1号可通过改善阿尔茨海默病小鼠模型中海马区细胞的增殖潜力,减少星形胶质细胞的渗透,降低β-淀粉样蛋白的积累和Tau蛋白磷酸化,从而发挥神经保护作用。

Abstract:

Tiantai No. 1, a Chinese medicine predominantly composed of powdered Rhizoma Gastrodiae, Radix Ginseng, and Ginkgo leaf at a ratio of 2:1:2 and dissolved in pure water, is neuroprotective in animal models of various cognitive disorders, but its molecular mechanism remains unclear. We administered Tiantai No. 1 intragastrically to senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 (SAMP8) mice (a model of Alzheimer’s disease) at doses of 50, 100 or 150 mg/kg per day for 8 weeks and evaluated their behavior in the Morris water maze and expression of Alzheimer’s disease-related proteins in the brain. Tiantai No. 1 shortened the escape latency in the water maze training trials, and increased swimming time in the target quadrant during the spatial probe test, indicating that Tiantai No. 1 improved learning and memory in SAMP8 mice. Immunohistochemistry revealed that Tiantai No. 1 restored the proliferation potential of Ki67-positive cells in the hippocampus. In addition, mice that had received Tiantai No. 1 had fewer astrocytes, and less accumulation of amyloid-beta and phosphorylated tau. These results suggest that Tiantai No. 1 is neuroprotective in the SAMP8 mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease and acts by restoring neuronal number and proliferation potential in the hippocampus, decreasing astrocyte infiltration, and reducing the accumulation of amyloid-beta and phosphorylated tau.
