Cholinergic neuropathology in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease
Transgenic mice over-expressing mutant human amyloid precursor protein (PDAPP mouse) develop several Alzheimer’s disease (AD)-like lesions including an age-related accumulation of amyloid-?-containing neuritic plaques. Although aged, heterozygous PDAPP mice also exhibit synaptic and glial cell changes, that is characteristic of AD pathology, no evidence of neurodegeneration has been observed. T...
متن کاملGalantamine Effect on Tularemia Pathogenesis in a BALB/c Mouse Model
Background: Galantamine is a drug used for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and some other cognitive disorders. It is an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase however, interaction with nicotinic acetylcholine receptors has also been reported. Owing to the significant role of cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathways in neuro-immunomodulation, we decided to examine the effect of galantamine on tula...

متن کاملبررسی نقش سیستم نیتریک اکساید در حافظه فضایی موش های مدل تجربی مالتیپل اسکلروزیس
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS ( is one of the chronic autoimmune diseases of the central nervous system with unknown etiology. Nitric oxide (NO) as a free radical has contradictory effect on the central nervous system and on MS disease. Nitric oxide is one of the distractive factors of the immune system and is a factor in the destruction of myelin. On the other hand, there is an interact...
متن کاملAssociation of CCR2 Gene but not CCR5 Gene Polymorphisms with Alzheimer’s Disease
Chemokines participate in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses by interacting with their specific receptors on related immune and inflammatory cells such as B-lymphocytes, T-lymphocytes and antigen-presenting cells. Chemokines and their receptors are therefore considered to mediate inflammation and tissue damage in autoimmune disorders. The recent studies have revealed the genoty...
