Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease, and is characterized by the accumulation and presence of amyloid plaques (Aβ), tangles, dementia, and cognitive impairment. Currently, there is no known cure for AD; however, recently, the association between alteration of the gut microbiota and AD pathology has been explored to find novel therapeutic approaches. Microbiota-targeted intervention has been suggested as an attractive therapeutic approach for AD. Agathobaculum butyriciproducens (SR79) is a strict anaerobic and butyric acid-producing bacteria. We hypothesized that administration of SR79 might have a beneficial effect on cognitive deficits and AD pathologies. To determine the therapeutic effects of SR79 on AD pathologies, APP/PS1 transgenic and lipopolysaccharide -induced cognitive impairment mouse models were used. In the lipopolysaccharide -induced cognitive deficit model, the administration of SR79 improved cognitive function and decreased microglia activation. In addition, the administration of SR79 to APP/PS1 mice significantly improved novel object recognition and percent alteration results in novel object recognition and Y-maze alteration tests. Furthermore, Aβ plaque deposition and microglial activation were markedly reduced in the parietal cortex and hippocampus after SR79 treatment in APP/PS1 mice. SR79 treatment significantly decreased gene expression levels of IL-1β and C1QB and increased the gene expression levels of IGF-1 and thereby the downstream signaling pathway in the cortex of APP/PS1 mice. In conclusion, SR79 administration improved cognitive function and AD pathologies through the regulation of neuroinflammation and IGF-1 signaling in an animal model.
