Abstract:
Objectives To explore the impact of Aβ oligomer(Aβo) and fibrillar Aβ( Aβf) on the ethology of model rat and to explore whether or not piper kadsura ohwi(PKO) can ameliorate the ethological changes.Methods AD animal model was made by continuous intracerebroventricular infusion of Aβ through mini-osmotic pump.After surgery,rats of Aβo + PKO group and Aβf + PKO group received intraperitoneal injection of 10％PKO everyday,rats from Aβo + DMSO group and Aβf + DMSO group received intraperitoneal injection of 2.5％ DMSO.The treatment lasted 5 weeks.Morris water maze experiment began on the 31st day after surgery.Results ( 1 ) Acquisition trials:the escape latency was longer in Aβo group ( ( 89.40 ± 7.20 ) s ) than that in Aβf group ( (65.00 ± 10.89 ) s ) ; escape latency was shorter in Aβf + PKO group ( ( 34.00 ± 11.26 ) s) than that in Aβf group and Aβf + DMSO group( (60.6 ± 6.95 ) s) ; escape latency was shorter in Aβ3o + PKO group ( ( 65.33 ±8.89) s) than that in Aβo group and Aβo + DMSO group ( ( 85.60 ± 6.02) s).( 2 ) Robe trial:the times ( 3.00 ±0.71 ) and the proportion of time (0.23 ± 0.02 ) and path(0.23 ± 0.04) spent in the target quadrant in Aβo group was less than that in Aβf group(6.00 ± 1.58,0.25 ± 0.01,0.26 ± 0.03 ) ; the three parameters in Aβf + PKOgroup were more than those in Aβ3f group and Aβf+ DMSO group; the three parameters in Aβo + PKO group were more than those in Aβo group and Aβo + DMSO group.Conclusions Aβ oligomer had a more severe impact on the ethology of AD model rats than fibrillar Aβ did; piper kadsura ohwi may ameliorate the ethological changes of AD model rats.
