The dementia models induced by intracerebroventricular infusion of ?-Amyloid peptide in mice / 中国药理学通报

ABSTRACT

Aim To establish the dementia mice models induced by intracerebroventricular infusion of ?-Amyloid peptide and related measuring index. Methods The mice models were made by intracerebroventricular infusion of long fragment of soluble?-Amyloid peptide with micropump, intracerebroventricular injection of long soluble?-Amyloid peptide fragment and short insoluble ?-Amyloid peptide fragment,and intracerebroventricular injection of ?-Amyloid peptide combining with transforming growth factor. Results Compared with normal control, the learning and memory ability was decreased in all above model mice. the ChAT activity in both hippocampus and cortex of model mice decreased, the hippocampal neuron were depleted and the content of apoptosis associated protein Bal-2?BAX and p53 were increased. Conclusions All above mice models could be choose as the dementia models which were simulating the pathological charactoristics of the Alzheimer's disease.
