摘要
Alzheimer's disease (AD), one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases, threatens people's health. Based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) efficacy and treatment theory, we first proposed theAlpinia oxyphylla-Schisandra chinensisherb pair (ASHP) for finding a candidate of AD treatment. This study aimed at exploring the effects of ASHP on improving the cognitive function and neurodegeneration, and revealing the possible mechanism. In this study, an amyloid-beta (A beta) induced AD model was established in mice via intracerebroventricular injection. The Y-maze test and Morris water maze test were carried out to observe the behavioral change of mice, which showed that ASHP significantly ameliorated cognitive impairment. In addition, ASHP reduced amyloid-beta deposition and downregulated the hyperphosphorylation of tau via immunofluorescence assay and western blot analysis, respectively. Subsequently we focused on the PI3K/Akt pathway that is a classical pathway related to nervous system diseases. It also noticeably ASHP improved the histopathological changes in the hippocampus and cortex. Moreover, it was found that ASHP could upregulate the PI3K/Akt/Gsk-3 beta/CREB signaling pathway in N2a-SwedAPP cells. Taken together, it suggests that ASHP might reverse cognitive deficits and neurodegeneration via PI3K/Akt/Gsk-3 beta/CREB pathway.
