Agmatine prevents the memory impairment and the dysfunction of hippocampal GSK-3β and ERK signaling induced by aluminum nanoparticle in mice.
The growing usage of aluminum nanoparticles (Al-NP) and their exposure may influence body function. Considering the proposed relationship between Al and the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and the concern about the effect of this nanoparticle on brain health and cognitive function, the use of neuroprotective agents might be helpful. According to the reported neuroprotective effects of agmatine, in the present study, the possible protective effect of agmatine was assessed in mice model of Al-NP-induced memory impairment. In addition, due to the roles of hippocampal Glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (GSK-3β) and ERK signaling in memory and its disorders, these pathways were also investigated. Al-NP (10 mg/kg/p.o.) with/without agmatine (5 or 10 mg/kg/i.p.) was administered to adult male NMRI mice for 5 days. Novel object recognition (NOR) test session was used to assess cognitive function. Following the behavioral assessments, the hippocampi were used to determine the phosphorylated and total levels of GSK-3β and ERK as well as GAPDH using western blot analysis. The results showed that Al-NP impaired NOR memory in mice while agmatine 10 mg/kg prevented the memory deficit induced by Al-NP. Furthermore, Al-NP activated GSK-3β as well as ERK signals within the hippocampus while agmatine prevented the effects of Al-NP on GSK-3β and ERK signals within the hippocampus. Besides supporting the neuroprotective effects of agmatine, these findings suggest the possibility of the connection of hippocampal GSK-3β and ERK signaling in the neuroprotective effect of this polyamine against Al-NP.
期刊介绍:
Behavioural Pharmacology accepts original full and short research reports in diverse areas ranging from ethopharmacology to the pharmacology of schedule-controlled operant behaviour, provided that their primary focus is behavioural. Suitable topics include drug, chemical and hormonal effects on behaviour, the neurochemical mechanisms under-lying behaviour, and behavioural methods for the study of drug action. Both animal and human studies are welcome; however, studies reporting neurochemical data should have a predominantly behavioural focus, and human studies should not consist exclusively of clinical trials or case reports. Preference is given to studies that demonstrate and develop the potential of behavioural methods, and to papers reporting findings of direct relevance to clinical problems. Papers making a significant theoretical contribution are particularly welcome and, where possible and merited, space is made available for authors to explore fully the theoretical implications of their findings. Reviews of an area of the literature or at an appropriate stage in the development of an author’s own work are welcome. Commentaries in areas of current interest are also considered for publication, as are Reviews and Commentaries in areas outside behavioural pharmacology, but of importance and interest to behavioural pharmacologists. Behavioural Pharmacology publishes frequent Special Issues on current hot topics. The editors welcome correspondence about whether a paper in preparation might be suitable for inclusion in a Special Issue.
