Abstract:

In this study, we aim to investigate the effect of curcumin on the expression of MAP2 in hippocampus in APP/PS1 double transgenic mice. AD model was established with APP/PS1 double transgenic mice, which were fed for 6 months with different concentration of curcumin diet. Immunohistochemistry were applied to evaluate the expressive of MAP2 in hippocampus of transgenic mice. The expression of MAP2 in hippocampus were decreased in APP/PS1 double transgenic mice, but increased in concentration-dependent manner in curcumin treatment group,especially in CA1 and CA3 region. MAP2 may play an important role in the generation or development of AD. MAP2 were injured in APP/PS1 double transgenic mice while curcumin could resume the expression of MAP2. Further research is needed to provide mechanism for this result.
