Schisandrin A and B enhance the dentate gyrus neurogenesis in mouse hippocampus

Schisandrin A and B (Sch A and B) are the main effective components of Schisandra chinensis (S. chinensis), which is traditionally used to enhance mental and intellectual functions in eastern Asia. Previously, we reported Sch A and B remarkably affect adult neurogenesis in the subventricular zone of mouse lateral ventricle. Since the neurogenesis in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) is more important to learning, memory and cognition, here we further examined their effects on the adult DG neurogenesis. Phosphohistone H3 (PHH3) immunostaining showed that Sch B significantly enhanced the cell proliferation in the DG. Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP, mostly labels astrocytes and some stem cells) staining was used to further identify the proliferating cell type. Dramatically, increases of GFAP+ cells in both Sch A and B treated groups were observed. What's more, the total numbers of the mature neurons labeled by neuron-specific nuclear protein (NeuN) were also increased in both Sch A and B treated groups compared with the controls. Together, Sch A and B enhance the adult DG neurogenesis by increasing astrocytes/stem cells and improving the survival and maturation of DG neurons. Our study shed a new light on the neuropharmacological functions of the herbal medicine S. chinensis.
