Abstract

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common dementia and a progressive neurodegenerative disorder aggravated by chronic hypoperfusion (HP). Since numerous evidence suggests that inflammation is related with AD pathology, we investigated the expression change of two anti-inflammatory markers, inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain H4 (ITIH4) and alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein (AHSG), in a novelADmodel (APP23) with HP at 12 month of age. As compared with wild type (WT, n = 10), immunohistochemical analysis showed a higher ITIH4 and a lower AHSG expressions in the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and thalamus of the APP23 +HP group (n = 12) than the simple APP23 (n = 10) group (∗p < 0.05 and ∗ ∗p < 0.01 versus WT; #p < 0.05 and ##p < 0.01 versus APP23). The present study provides an upregulation of anti-inflammatory ITIH4 and a downregulation of pro-inflammatory TNF-dependent AHSG in a novel AD plus HP mice model.
