Pinoresinol diglucoside attenuates neuroinflammation, apoptosis and oxidative stress in a mice model with Alzheimer's disease

For Alzheimer's disease (AD), there is still no effective treatment strategy. Pinoresinol diglucoside (PDG) is one of the major lignans isolated from Eucommia ulmoides. It is endowed with multiple pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anticancer activities. In this study, we investigated the potential neuroprotective functions of PDG in AD. Mice model with AD was established adopting stereotactic hippocampal injection of Aβ1-42 (410 pmol/mouse), and 3 days later, mice were administrated with 5 and 10 mg/kg PDG by intragastric administration every day for 3 weeks. Morris water maze and Y-maze tests demonstrated that PDG treatment could markedly reverse Aβ1-42-induced memory impairment in mice. It is found that PDG restrained the release of proinflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin 1β), reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde, and promoted the activity of the antioxidant enzyme (superoxide dismutase and catalase) by quantitative real-time-PCR, colorimetric method and ELISA assay. Western blot assay results have shown that PDG could also upregulate the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax and downregulate cytochrome c and cleaved caspase-3 expressions, thereby inhibiting neuronal apoptosis. Furthermore, PDG also significantly reduced the expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and the activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65, and promoted nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) expressions. In conclusion, PDG can attenuate neuroinflammation, neuronal apoptosis and oxidative stress through the TLR4/NF-κB and Nrf2/HO-1 pathways, and ameliorate memory dysfunction induced by Aβ1-42 in mice.
