[Abstract]
Objective To investigate the effects of galangin on cognitive impairment and the sonic hedgehog/transmembrane protein receptor 1 (Shh/Ptch1) signaling pathway in Alzheimer's disease (AD) rats. Methods An AD model was established by injecting Aβ1~42 into the CA1 region of the hippocampus. The successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into the model group, lowdose (25 mg·kg-1) and high-dose (50 mg·kg-1) groups of galangin, and the galangin (50 mg·kg-1) + cyclopamine (Shh inhibitor, 10 mg·kg-1) group, with 12 rats in each group. Another 12 healthy rats were used as the control group. Galangin was ig administrated and cyclopamine was ip administrated. The control and model groups were ig given the same volume of 0.9% sodium chloride solution. The treatment lasted for 28 days. After the treatment, Morris water maze test was conducted; ELISA was used to detect serum inflammatory markers IL-6 and IL-1β and oxidative stress markers MDA and SOD levels; HE staining was performed to examine the pathological morphology of the hippocampus; TUNEL staining was used to detect neuronal apoptosis; and immunohistochemistry was conducted to detect the expression of Aβ and p-Tau, which are related to pathological damage in the hippocampus. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of Shh, Ptch1, GLI1, and apoptosis-related proteins Bcl-2 and BAX in the hippocampus. Results The AD group had more severe damage to hippocampal tissue compared to the control group, the morphology of neurons was irregular, the arrangement was disordered, the nuclei of neurons shrank, and the number decreased, the escape latency was prolonged, the number of platform crossings and the duration of stay on the platform decreased, the swimming trajectory is complex, the levels of IL-6, IL- 1β, MDA, neuronal apoptosis rate, the expression of Bax, Aβ, and p-Tau elevated, the level of SOD and the expression of Bcl-2, Shh, Ptch1, and Gli1 decreased, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Compared with model group, galangin high and low dose group had less destruction of hippocampal tissue, less abnormal morphological degree of neurons, relatively neat arrangement, less nuclear shrinkage, and less loss of neurons, the escape latency was shortened, the number of platform crossings and the duration of stay on the platform increased, the swimming track is simple, the levels of IL-6, IL-1β, MDA, neuronal apoptosis rate, the expression of Bax, Aβ, and p-Tau reduced, the level of SOD and the expression of Bcl-2, Shh, Ptch1, and Gli1 increased, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The damage to hippocampal tissue was more severe in the galangin + cyclopamine group compared to the galangin high dose group, the escape latency was prolonged, the number of platform crossings and the duration of stay on the platform decreased, the swimming trajectory is complex, the levels of IL-6, IL-1β, MDA, neuronal apoptosis rate, the expression of Bax, Aβ, and p-Tau increased, the level of SOD and the expression of Bcl-2, Shh, Ptch1, and Gli1 decreased, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Galangin can improve cognitive impairment in AD rats, and its mechanism of action is related to the activation of the Shh/Ptch1 signaling pathway.
