Abstract
The objective is to evaluate the possible mechanisms of action of a water soluble curcumin derivative and MSCs in Alzheimer disease (AD). Materials and Methods: This work included: Seventy rats which were divided equally into: control group, AD group (induced by lipopolysaccharide), AD group received a novel curcumin derivative (NCD), AD group received pure curcumin, AD group received MSCs then NCD, AD group received MSCs, AD group received MSCs with NCD. Histopathological examination and estimation of serum IL-10 and IL-6 by ELISA, estimation of MDA and GSH in brain tissue by colorimetry and estimation of tissue cholesterol were performed. Results: Histopathological examination of brain tissue from AD animals revealed the presence of plaques. Administration of MSCs or MSCs with NCD into rats after induction of experimental AD improved the histopathological picture with plaque disappearance, while other groups showed decrease of plaque formation. Levels of IL-10 were increased while of IL-6 were decreased in all treated groups. MDA and cholesterol levels were decreased while GSH levels were increased in all treated groups.Conclusion: Administration of BM-derived MSCs either alone or with the NCD exert a therapeutic effect on the brain lesion in Alzheimer’s disease. This effect may be through the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant action of both MSCs and curcumin. These data suggests that MSCs and curcumin may be a therapeutic target in treatment of AD.
