Synaptic loss induced by beta-amyloid (Aβ) plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the mechanisms underlying this process remain unknown. In this study, we found that oridonin (Ori) rescued synaptic loss induced by Aβ1-42 in vivo and in vitro and attenuated the alterations in dendritic structure and spine density observed in the hippocampus of AD mice. In addition, Ori increased the expression of PSD-95 and synaptophysin and promoted mitochondrial activity in the synaptosomes of AD mice. Ori also activated the BDNF/TrkB/CREB signaling pathway in the hippocampus of AD mice. Furthermore, in the Morris water maze test, Ori reduced latency and searching distance and increased the number of platform crosses in AD mice. These data suggest that Ori might prevent synaptic loss and improve behavioral symptoms in Aβ1-42-induced AD mice.
The cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element binding protein (CREB) is a phosphorylation-dependent transcription factor that plays important roles in memory consolidation and several neuropsychological disorders. Although analyzing the spatiotemporal pattern of CREB phosphorylation is required for elucidating the mechanism of memory consolidation, imaging of phosphorylation of a particular protein in the brain of live animals is impossible at present. Here, we developed a method for visualizing the CREB phosphorylation in the cerebral cortex of an awake mouse using a split luciferase technique. Using this technique, we demonstrated the correlation between the change in CREB phosphorylation at a particular region in the brain and behavioral consequences induced by the administration of reserpine, a psychotropic agent.
