Andrographolide Stimulates Neurogenesis in the Adult Hippocampus.
Andrographolide (ANDRO) is a labdane diterpenoid component of Andrographis paniculata widely used for its anti-inflammatory properties. We have recently determined that ANDRO is a competitive inhibitor of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β), a key enzyme of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling cascade. Since this signaling pathway regulates neurogenesis in the adult hippocampus, we evaluated whether AN...
متن کاملElectroacupuncture decreases cognitive impairment and promotes neurogenesis in the APP/PS1 transgenic mice
BACKGROUND Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a severe neurodegenerative disease for which there is currently no effective treatment. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether repeated electroacupuncture (EA) stimulation would improve cognitive function and the pathological features of AD in amyloid precursor protein (APP)/presenilin 1 (PS1) double transgenic mice. METHODS Cognitive funct...
متن کاملAdult Neurogenesis in the Hippocampus: From Stem Cells to Behavior
The dentate gyrus of the mammalian hippocampus continuously generates new neurons during adulthood. These adult-born neurons become functionally active and are thought to contribute to learning and memory, especially during their maturation phase, when they have extraordinary plasticity. In this Review, we discuss the molecular machinery involved in the generation of new neurons from a pool of ...
متن کاملOsthole Upregulates BDNF to Enhance Adult Hippocampal Neurogenesis in APP/PS1 Transgenic Mice.
Adult hippocampal neurogenesis occurs in the dentate gyrus (DG) of the mouse hippocampus, and plays roles in learning and memory progresses. In amyloid precursor protein (APP)/presenilin 1 (PS1) transgenic mice, a rodent model of Alzheimer's disease (AD), severe impairment of neurogenesis in the dentate subgranular zone (SGZ) of the DG has been reported. Osthole, an active constituent of Cnidiu...
متن کاملNeural stem cells and neurogenesis in the adult.
Research in the field of adult neurogenesis has seen substantial progress over recent years. Here we discuss some of the major focus areas for future investigation: neural stem cell heterogeneity, the role of latent stem cells, and the extent of neurogenesis in the adult human brain.
