Abstract

The mechanisms of the transplantation of neural stem cells (NSCs) in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease remain poorly understood. In this study, NSCs were transplanted into the hippocampal CA1 region of the rTg (tau P301L) 4510 mouse model, a tauopathy model that is thought to reflect the tau pathology associated with Alzheimer's disease. The results revealed that NSC transplantation reduced the abnormal aggregation of tau, resulting in significant improvements in the short-term memory of the tauopathy model mice. Compared with wild-type and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)-treated mice, mice that received NSC transplantations were characterized by changes in the expression of multiple proteins in brain tissue, particularly those related to the regulation of tau aggregation or misfolding. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis and Gene Ontology (GO) function analysis revealed that these proteins were primarily enriched in pathways associated with long-term potentiation, neurogenesis, and other neurobiological processes. Changes in the expression levels of key proteins were verified by western blot assays. These data provided clues to improve the understanding of the functional capacity associated with ...Continue Reading
