摘要
In Alzheimer disease (AD), amyloid-beta (A beta) peptides induce the degeneration of presynaptic cholinergic system, in which decreased activity of enzyme choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) responsible for acetylcholine synthesis is observed. Cereboost (TM), an extract of American ginseng extract, contains a high concentration of Rbl ginsenoside which is a well-known ingredient improving human cognitive function. We investigated the effects of Cereboost (TM) on learning and memory, function of mice challenged with an A beta(1-42) peptide and the underlying mechanisms in vitro. Cereboost (TM) protected against A beta(1-42) induced cytotoxicity in F3.ChAT stem cells, and enhanced the ChAT gene expression. A beta(1-42) injection into the mouse brain impaired the cognitive function, which was recovered by oral administration of Cereboost (TM). In addition, Cereboost (TM) restored brain microtubule-associated protein 2 and synaptophysin as well as acetylcholine concentration. The results demonstrate that Cereboost (TM) administration recovered the cognitive function of AD model animals by enhancing acetylcholine level via ChAT gene expression and neuroprotection.
