ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To discuss the effect of ferulic acid(FA) on learning and memory impairment and neuron protection by repairing the imbalance of mitochondrial fission-fusion dynamics in Alzheimer′s disease (AD) mice. METHODS: The KM mice were randomly divided into normal control group (A group, n=10), model group (B group, n=10), positive control group (huperzine A tablets, C group, n=10) and low dose of FA group (D-low group, n=10), high dose of FA group (D-high group, n=10). Mice in B, C, D-low and D-high groups were built as AD model by injecting Aβ1-42 into the lateral ventricle. The learning and memory ability of mice were detected by Morris water maze test. The mRNA of dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) were detected by PCR. The AD related pathological proteins and mitochondrial fission-fusion proteins were detected by Western blot. The content and distribution of Aβ was analyzed using immunofluorescence staining. RESULTS: ①The escape latency of mice in D-high group was shorter than B group, but a little longer than A group (P0.05). ②The mean expressions of Drp1, CaN subunit α (CnAα), CnAβ mRNA in D-high group were lower than B group, but higher than A group (P<0.05). ③The mean expressions of amyloid precursor protein (APP), beta-site APP cleaving enzyme 1 (Bace1), Tau46 and pS396 proteins in D-high group were lower than B group, but higher than A group (P<0.05).The mean expressions of Drp1Ser637, CnAα, protein kinase A catalytic subunit c (PKAc), mitofusin gene 2(Mfn2) proteins in D-high group were basically identical with A group. ⑤The levels of Aβ formation and accumulation in mice cortex and hippocampus of D-high group were less than B group. CONCLUSION: It′s suggested that ferulic acid(FA) might repair pathological damage of Alzheimer′s disease by improving the imbalance of mitochondrial fission-fusion dynamics.
