Objectives: To assess the effect of catalpol, the major bioactive constituents of , on our Alzheimer's disease (AD) model.
Materials And Methods: We employed the immortalized lymphocytes (lymphoblastoid cell line, LCL) from late-onset AD patients and co-cultured "them" to mimic the pathological process of late-onset AD and investigated the effect of catalpol on our AD model.
Results: In the co-culture model, AD-derived LCL triggered excessive Aβ1-42 in SKNMC cells due to its high levels of oxidative stress and resulted in neuronal oxidative stress injury through inhibiting Keap1-Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway.
Context: Bu-shen-yi-jing-fang (BSYJF) has been reported to reduce amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition in the brain of APP/PS1 mice and ameliorate cognitive function. However, its neuroprotective mechanism remains unclear.
Objective: This study aims to investigate whether BSYJF exerts a protective effect on Aβ-induced oxidative stress injury and explore its possible mechanism.
Angiotensin II, the effector peptide of the renin-angiotensin system, is not only a pivotal peptide implicated in the regulation of blood pressure but also a key mediator of the inflammatory processes that play an important role in the pathology of hypertension-related cSVD. Harpagide is the major bioactive constituent of Scrophulariae Radix widely used in traditional Chinese medicine for numerous diseases including hypertension. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of harpagide on Ang II-induced neuroinflammation and the potential mechanism.
