Abstract

Background: Cognitive deficit is mainly clinical characteristic of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Recent reports showed adiponectin and its analogues could reverse cognitive impairments, lower amyloid-β protein (Aβ) deposition, and exert anti-inflammatory effects in different APP/PS1 AD model mice mainly exhibiting amyloid plaque pathology. However, the potential in vivo electrophysiological mechanism of adiponectin protecting against cognitive deficits in AD and the neuroprotective effects of adiponectin on 3xTg-AD mice including both plaque and tangle pathology are still unclear. Objective: To observe the effects of adiponectin treatment on cognitive deficits in 3xTg-AD mice, investigate its potential in vivo electrophysiological mechanism, and testify its anti-inflammatory effects. Methods: Barnes maze test, Morris water maze test, and fear conditioning test were used to evaluate the memory-ameliorating effects of adiponectin on 3xTg-AD mice. In vivo hippocampal electrophysiological recording was used to observe the change of basic synaptic transmission, long-term potentiation, and long-term depression. Immunohistochemistry staining and western blot were used to observe the activation of microglia and astroglia, and the expression levels of proinflammatory factors and anti-inflammtory factor IL-10. Results: Adiponectin treatment could alleviate spatial memory and conditioned fear memory deficits observed in 3xTg-AD mice, improve in vivo LTP depression and LTD facilitation, inhibit overactivation of microglia and astroglia, decrease the expression of proinflammatory factors NF- κB and IL-1β, and increase the expression level of IL-10 in the hippocampus of 3xTg-AD mice. Conclusion: Adiponectin could ameliorate cognitive deficits in 3xTg-AD mice through improving in vivo synaptic plasticity impairments and alleviating neuroinflammation in the hippocampus of 3xTg-AD mice.
