Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of β-sheet breaker peptide H102 on APP associated secretase in the hippocampus brain regions of APP/PS1 double transgenic mice(AD mice). METHODS: =15). H102 (5.8 mg/kg) 5 μl was infused by intranasal administration to mice in H102 treatment group, and equal volume of blank solution of H102 was given to mice in control group and AD group. The ability of spatial reference memory was tested by Morris water maze after 30 days of treatment. And then immunohistochemistry tests and Western blot were used to detect the content of α-secretase (ADAM10, ADAM17), β-secretase (BACE1), γ-secretase (PS1, APH1a, PEN2) in the hippocampus brain regions. RESULTS: <0.05). CONCLUSIONS: β sheet peptides blocked H102 can reduce the formation of Aβ in the hippocampus brain area, improve the activity of α-secretase in the hippocampus brain region, decrease the activity of β-and γ-secretase, improve the learning and memory ability of AD mice.
