Abstract

To investigate the neuro-immune regulatory mechanism of Heart Benefiting recipe (HBR), an effective recipe for treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Using immunohistochemical and RT-PCR methods, the neuro-immunological pathological changes in the AD rat model induced by beta-amyloid protein (A beta1-40) via lateral cerebral ventricle injection, including mainly the glial fibrillary acidic protein expression and inflammatory cytokines IL-1beta, IL-6mRNA and beta-amyloid protein precursor (APPmRNA) gene expression were studied. And the effects of HBR on these parameters were observed. Deposition of A beta in cerebral tissue could induce activation of stellate glial cells and abnormal increased levels of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1beta and IL-6mRNA), also the elevation of APPmRNA level. HBR could effectively control the above-mentioned pathological changes. HBR could effectively control the inflammation and the A beta immune cascade reaction in brain of AD patients, it is one of the important therapeutic mechanisms of the recipe.
