Therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture on mouse model with Alzheimer's disease and its mechanism
Objective,2,To investigate the effect and the related mechanism of electroacupuncture in mouse model with Alzheimer's disease (AD).,Methods,2,60 SPF C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group (,n,=20), AD model group (,n,=20) and electroacupuncture group (,n,=20). AD model group and electroacupuncture group were established by utilizing D-galactose subcutaneously injection and joint intraperitoneal injection of sodium nitrite. From the 2nd day after modeling,the electroacupuncture group received electroacupuncture treatment once a day with 6 days as 1 course and 2 treatment courses given in total. The other group of rats were only captured without electroacupuncture. On the second day after the electroacupuncture treatment,the Morris water maze test was used to evaluate the cognitive ability in different groups. After Morris water maze test,the mice were deprived food and water for 12 h before sampling, and the content of NLRP3, TNF-α and IL-1 in hippocampal tissues of three groups were detected by ELISA,and the expression levels of NLRP3 mRNA were measured by RT-PCR .,Results,2,The escape incubation period were increased,and the number of times crossing the platform,the duration of stay in the target quadrant and the percentage of stay in the platform quadrant in the total distance were significantly reduced in the AD model group than those in the normal control group (,P,<,0.05); compared with the AD model group, the escape incubation period were reduced,and the number of times crossing the platform,the duration of stay in the target quadrant and the percentage of stay in the platform quadrant in the total distance were increased in the electroacupuncture groups (,P,<,0.05); the contents of the NLRP3,TNF-α and IL-1β in the hippocampus were decreased significantly(,P,<,0.05).,Conclusion,2,Electroacupuncture could significantly reduce the expression levels of NLRP3 AD mice,which can inhibit the neuroinflammatory response in the brain by down-regulating NLRP3,so as to significantly relieve the symptoms of learning and memory impairment in AD mice.
