Possible role of resveratrol targeting estradiol and neprilysin pathways in lipopolysaccharide model of Alzheimer disease.

Abstract：

:Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an irreversible, progressive neurodegenerative brain disease that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills. It is the most common cause of dementia among older people. One of the most important hallmarks of AD is the presence of amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide in the brain that suggests that it is the primary trigger for neuronal loss. Herbal extracts have been studied over the years for their potential therapeutic effect in AD. Resveratrol (RSV), one of the most important phytoestrogens, is considered to be useful as estrogen plays an important role in AD. One of the most important amyloid degrading enzymes is neprilysin (NEP), which plays a major role in degrading Aβ, and mainly affected by estrogen. So, the aim of the present study is investigating the possible role of resveratrol in lipopolysaccharide model of AD and the implication of its possible role in regulating the estradiol and neprilysin pathways. Mice were divided into four groups: Control group (0.9 % saline), LPS group (0.8 mg/kg i.p once), Treatment group with RSV (mice were once injected with LPS then after 30 min given a dose of {4 mg/kg} RSV for 7 days), and RSV group only (mice received 4 mg/kg i.p for 7 days only). After 7 days mice were subjected to different behavioral tests using Y-maze, object recognition test, and open field tests. Estradiol and NEP level were measured using ELISA kit. Results showed RSV was able to reverse the decline in different types of memory (working, nonspatial, and locomotor functions) caused by LPS induction in mice. Moreover RSV was able to significantly increase both the estradiol level and NEP level and that may have a great role to decrease Aβ deposition as it has been confirmed that there is a link between NEP and estradiol level; by upregulation of estradiol level this consequently leads to increase in the level of NEP level, and by increasing the NEP level in brain, this lead to decrease in Aβ deposition and enhancing its degradation by NEP.
