7,8 dihydroxyflavones are in treating or preventing the relevant cognitive ability of aging and declining
Purposes
Background technology
Aging is the process that a whole body function slowly fails over time, and the memory that aging is brought subtracts
The elderly's daily life quality (Hedden&Gabrieli 2004) can be influenced with cognitive ability decline by moving back.According to statistics bureau of the U.S.
Data, the elderly's population to the year two thousand fifty, over-65s will reach 83,700,000, close to 20% (Jennifer of total population
M.Ortman 2014).We are badly in need of a treatment for capableing of effective immunotherapy targeted autoantibody and the relevant cognitive dissonance problem of aging
Scheme.However, at this stage pair with the understanding of the molecular cell level principle of the relevant cognitive dissonance problem of aging is also opposite has
Limit, thus hinder the development of effective clinical treatment.
The nerve regneration ability and synaptic plasticity of hippocampus are all related with cognitive function, both of which can greatly by
The influence (Rao et al.2006) of aging process.Nerve regneration includes several committed steps, including neural stem cell or ancestral
The breeding of cell (NSC), the survival of prematurity nerve cell, dendron growth, maturation and function integrate (Ming&Song 2005).
We confirm that aging process can targetedly reduce the split speed (Romine of active neural stem cell at previous research
et al.2015).In addition to this, the survival rate of newborn neuron cell persistently rests on reduced levels, further hinders new
The generation of raw neuronal cell, the whole of newborn neuron cell is unable to get so as to cause the existing neural circuit of aging animal
Close supplement (Bondolfi et al.2004;Rao et al.2005).
In newborn neuron after hippocampus generation, they also need to integrate by further morphological development and cynapse
It can just work orderly.Can the maturation in cellular morphology is Granule Neurons correctly be received dendritic spines by aixs cylinder
Signal is transmitted to the basic premise in the regions CA3.In the hippocampus dentate fascia of adult, newborn neuron is usually in 3-4 weeks
Initial development of the market goes out more complete aixs cylinder, dendron and dendritic spines form, and every structure is persistently carried out in the next several months
It changes (Zhao et al.2006).Our research finds that aging process can not only interfere neuron regeneration, but will be by subtracting
Few dendritic arborization quantity and the mode of total length greatly hinder dendron growth.It is provided largely for the formation of cynapse in view of dendron
The reduction of surface area, dendron quantity and dendron total length will finally hinder the formation of newborn cynapse.So far, without effective hand
Section can prevent or save aging destruction caused by neuron regeneration and dendron growth.
Neuron regeneration and by adult generate newborn neuron morphological maturity be all by brain-derived neurotrophy because
Sub (BDNF) regulation and control.BDNF combined by the special receptor TrkB with it come activated receptor, and plays regulating and controlling effect with this
(Tolwani et al.2002;Binder&Scharfman2004).The effect of BDNF include promote neure growth, survival,
It migrates and cynapse adjusts (Alderson et al.1990;Horch&Katz 2002;Gorski et al.2003;
Cohen-Cory et al.2010).BDNF is sent out in regulation and control hippocampus dendron growth and later stage synaptic function and structure plasticity
Wave effect (the Tolwani et al.2002 being even more important;Vigers et al.2012;Wang et al.2015).Institute
With the function of BDNF forms (Vigers et al.2012) related with memory consolidation with memory.But BDNF-TrkB systems are non-
It is often easy to be influenced by aging, this may can explain why memory related with hippocampus can be influenced by the age
And it is damaged (Calabrese et al.2013;Budni et al.2015) and provide one for the memory function for improving the elderly
Therapeutic purpose.Although BDNF is the key factor of neurotrophic factor, the limited transitivity of BDNF, shorter half-life period and can not
The validity that it is used as drug is reduced by the characteristic of blood-brain barrier.
Therefore, there is the demand of the drug for the cognitive ability decline for treating or preventing aging object in this field.

Embodiment
1. aging of embodiment significantly reduces the quantity of newborn prematurity neuron in hippocampus and compromises dendron
Form.
Cognitive ability decline is the mark of aging process, but specific principle not yet defines (Bishopet
al.2010).In a variety of possible principles, is reduced by neuron regeneration rate and the hippocampus somatic nerves of decrease of synapses representative is plastic
Property reduce be principal element (Burke&Barnes 2006).Neuron regeneration, including nerve stem cell proliferation, prematurity god
It survives, shift through member, is ripe, dendron growth and function integrate (Ming&Song 2005), by old-age group in a variety of levels
The influence of change.Before us is that aging damage nerve cord is thin the main reason for researches show that aging influences neuron regeneration
Born of the same parents are proliferated, proliferation (Romine et al.2015) of the especially active neural progenitor cell in hippocampus of mice body.This time study
In, we further have evaluated the newborn prematurity neuron of 3 monthly age mouse (n=3) and 12 monthly age mouse (n=4) quantity and
Their dendron growth situation.Whenever the 6th brain sections are all handled with immunostaining, using for microtubule associated protein
The antibody of (doublecortin, Dcx) is marked, this is a kind of marker (Gleeson for newborn prematurity neuron
et al.1999).In 3 monthly age mouse, the newborn prematurity neuron of the display Dcx positives is mainly evenly distributed on hippocampus tooth
Shape returns at (HDG) granular cell layer (GCL) interior one third (Figure 1A).3 monthly age mouse are compared, it is observed that 12 monthly age mouse
Newborn prematurity neuronal quantity significantly decrease, show the Dcx positives cell quantity it is less, be sporadically distributed in December
At age hippocampus of mice body dentate fascia (HDG) granular cell layer (GCL) interior one third (Figure 1B).Under high magnified glass, we
The cell (Fig. 1 C, Fig. 1 D) of each Dcx positives can be clearly observed on granular cell layer (GCL).It is every in 3 monthly age mouse
A hippocampus dentate fascia (HDG) is containing about 11,098 ± 2,841 newborn prematurity neurons, this number is in 12 monthly age mouse
In fall below 341 ± 54, show in aging animal, (p=is greatly reduced in the number of newborn prematurity neuron
0.022, Fig. 1 E).
It will be clear that the dendron of prematurity neuron (Fig. 1 C, is schemed to molecular layer growth under high magnified glass
1D).The mouse at 3 monthly ages is compared, the Dcx positive cells of 12 monthly age mouse show poor dendron form.It is rebuild by dendron,
Our quantitative analysis adult mice (46 neuronal cells in 3 mouse) and Aged Mice (91 god in 4 mouse
Through first cell) the dendron form (Fig. 1 F, 1G) of newborn prematurity neuron in HDG.In the mouse at 3 monthly ages, each newborn god
It is 297.0 ± 65.4 microns (Fig. 1 H, 1I) usually to have 4.1 ± 0.4 dendritic arborizations, total length through member.In the mouse at 12 monthly ages
In, the quantity of newborn neuron dendron significantly has dropped 58%, and average each neuron has 1.7 ± 0.2 dendritic arborization (p
=0.004, Fig. 1 H), dendron total length significantly drops to averagely each 70.6 ± 18.2 microns of neuron (p=0.022, figure
1I), fall 76%.To sum up, it is observed that the newborn prematurity neuronal quantity in Aged Mice HDG substantially
Degree declines, and newborn neuron dendron form is damaged.
Effects of the embodiment 2.DHF for aged rats neonatal neuron survival rate
Until up to now, there are no effective drugs can slow down or prevent under the cognitive ability brought by aging
Drop, so working out, a kind of can to promote the method for nerve regneration and/or dendron morphological development be necessary.
First, we are dedicated to verifying whether DHF can improve neonatal neuron survival rate in Aged Mice HDG.December
Age mouse is divided into three groups, receives DHF injections (5mg/kg is dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) [DMSO], n=4), 70% diformazan respectively
Base sulfoxide injects (n=4) or phosphate buffered saline injection (PBS, n=4), continues two weeks once a day.All mouse
It is put to death behind 24 hours after last time is injected, and takes out brain (Fig. 2A) to assess number and the tree of prematurity neuron
Prominent morphological development situation.One is chosen by permanent order use microtubule associated protein in every 6 big brain section
Newborn neuron in (doublecortin, Dcx) antibody test hippocampus is to carry out immunostaining.Receiving PBD and DMSO
In the mouse brain slice of injection, it is observed that minimal amount of Dcx positive cells (Figure 1B, 2B, 2C).Receiving DHF injections
Afterwards, the quantity of Dcx positive cells does not have acute variation (Fig. 2 D).Under high magnified glass, we can count each Dcx sun
Property cell (Fig. 2 E-G).In DHF injection groups, the par of the average Dcx positive cells per HDG is 330 ± 111;DMSO is noted
The quantity for penetrating group is 293 ± 191;The quantity of PBS control group is 341 ± 54 (Fig. 2 H), without notable statistics between three groups of data
Difference.Therefore, a length of two weeks DHF injection treatments cannot improve the newborn prematurity neuron survival rate of Aged Mice when.Phase
Than under, before us researches show that when a length of two weeks same dose of DHF injection treatments can improve young animals at
The quantity (Zhao et al.2015) of the newborn prematurity neuron generated after year.This shows the relevant cognition for the treatment of aging
The difficulty and complexity of decline ability.
Embodiment 3.DHF improves Aged Mice dendron form
Although DHF does not improve the survival rate of Aged Mice newborn neuron, microexamination shows the dendron shape of mouse
State produces variation (Fig. 2 E-G, Fig. 3 A-C).It is positive thin that each hippocampus Dcx is obtained using Zeiss (Zeiss) microscopic system
The image of 40 times of amplifications of born of the same parents.Using the tracer of Neurolucida softwares and rebuilds cell body and dendron (Fig. 3 D) and use
NeuroExplorer analyzes (Fig. 3 E-H).We have found that the average number of the dendritic arborization of each neuron slightly improves, from
1.7 ± 0.2 (91 neurons of 4 mouse) of PBS groups and 1.6 ± 0.04 (94 neurons of 4 mouse) of DMSO groups
2.1 ± 0.4 (109 neurons of 4 mouse) of DHF groups are increased to, but this difference does not reach notable statistics
Difference (Fig. 3 E).Nevertheless, the average length of each dendritic arborization is by 32.1 ± 3.4 microns of PBS groups and DMSO groups
38.3 ± 5.5 microns of 47.6 ± 3.4 microns (Fig. 3 F) for improving significantly to DHF groups.Therefore, total dendron length of each neuron
The 110.3 ± 23.7 micro- of DHF groups is improved significantly to by 70.6 ± 18.2 microns of PBS groups and 67.0 ± 9.8 microns of DMSO groups
Rice (Fig. 3 G).By the way that further newborn prematurity neuron is grouped according to the different of dendron total length, it has been found that in PBS groups
In DMSO control groups, newborn prematurity neuron major developmental goes out the very short dendron (PBS in 50 microns of cell body
Group mouse 67.8 ± 8.8%, DMSO groups mouse 61.4 ± 2.4%, Fig. 3 H).In DHF groups, have short within 50 microns of total length
The ratio of the newborn neuron of dendron considerably reduces to 45.9 ± 5.7% (Fig. 3 H).As a result, the mouse in DHF groups has more
More newborn neurons develop relatively longer dendron (200 microns away from cell body or more), in all new life nerves measured
18.7 ± 2.6% are accounted in member, this ratio is only 8.4 ± 3.3% in PBS groups in comparison, in DMSO groups for 5.1 ±
2.0% (Fig. 3 H).To sum up, although DHF does not promote newborn prematurity neuronal development to go out greater number of dendritic arborization,
But DHF promotes dendron growth by way of extending dendron, this effect shows as DHF and extends the flat of Aged Mice dendron
Equal length and total length, while the newborn prematurity neuron for possessing longer total dendron length is also improved on a general level
Ratio.
It discusses
It is brought to our society in view of general who has surrendered under current elderly population rapid growth, and the relevant cognitive ability of aging
Increasing burden (Jennifer M.Ortman 2014).Although situation is so severe, aging brings cognition energy
The molecular mechanism that power declines is still uncertain, hinders the development that can delay or prevent the therapy that this cognitive ability declines.By
Neural plasticity representated by hippocampus nerve regneration ability and synaptic plasticity is a ring important in ability of learning and memory.
There is research to confirm that the neural plasticity of muroid and the mankind can all be influenced (Burke&Barnes 2006 by age growth;Rao
etal.2006).In the present invention, some are observed we used the mouse at 12 monthly ages and with them to grind with before
The similar feature of older animals studied carefully, most notable one are the newborn prematurity neurons compared to 3 monthly age young mices
Number reduces and dendron form damage (Fig. 1).These observation results represents the nerve regneration scarce capacity of aged experimental group with
Prominent plasticity is insufficient.Being dedicated to enhancing the method for nerve regneration ability and/or synaptic plasticity perhaps can become and potentially control
Treat target.
So far, without effective therapeutic scheme can enhance geriatric animals nerve regneration ability or cynapse it is plastic
Property.
In this experiment, we have injected two weeks DHF to mouse, it is surprising that DHF is not significantly increased always
The neonatal neuron survival rate (Fig. 2) of year mouse.Nevertheless, we are same it was unexpectedly found that between experimental group and control group
There are notable dendron morphological differences.Our data are shown, by continuing two weeks injection DHF daily, although newborn neuron
Dendritic arborization quantity does not significantly change, and the average dendron length of newborn neuron compares PBS groups and increased substantially 48%, phase
24% (Fig. 3 F) is increased compared with DMSO groups.Similarly, total dendron length of newborn neuron compares PBS groups and increases substantially
53%, it compares DMSO groups and has increased substantially 64% (Fig. 3 G).In addition, it is observed that possessing the newborn neuron of longer dendron
Ratio increases, and dendron total length is more than that the number of 200 microns of neuron increases 2.2 times (Fig. 3 H).
BDNF has been found that the shape and quantity of dendritic spines can be controlled, to influence the development of synapse circuit, especially
Synapse circuit (Ji et al.2005 in hippocampus;Cohen-Cory et al.2010).Research before us is direct
The formation (Gao et al.2009) of postpartum hippocampal dentate granular cell cynapse can be damaged by demonstrating the missing of BDNF.In this hair
In bright, it has been found that can acutely be reduced with the total dendron length of each newborn neuron of process of aging.
From the mouse at 2 monthly ages to the mouse at 12 monthly ages, the dendron total length of each neuron has decreased to original
23.7%.In this experiment, DHF processing significantly improves dendritic arborization quantity and tree in each newborn neuron of aged mouse
Prominent total length.Nevertheless, compared to the Young adult mouse at 3 monthly ages, received the dendron length of the aged mouse of DHF injections
Or it is short very much, the 37% of the Young adult mouse at only 3 monthly ages.
Experimental method
Animal is handled
Male C57BL/6 mouse (Jackson Laboratories) group rearing at any time may be used under 12/12 hour light and shade recycles
To obtain food and water.Mouse Age used in experiment is 3 monthly ages and 12 monthly ages.It is big that all programs meet Indiana
The regulation learned animal welfare and ratified using the committee.
DHF processing
The mouse at 12 monthly ages receives one kind in three kinds of processing respectively, and (5mg/kg is dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) for DHF injections
[DMSO], n=4) or 70% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) injects (n=4) or phosphate buffered saline injects (PBS, 50mg/kg, n
=4, intraperitoneal injection [i.p.]), continue two weeks once a day.All mouse are behind 24 hours after last time is injected
Extremely in the form of the dendron of the quantity and assessment newborn neuron that calculate newborn neuron (Fig. 2A).
Tissue treatment
With 2.5% ethobrom deep anaesthesia experimental animal, and heart perfusion is passed through with 0.9% cool brine.Next it uses
Cold 4% paraformaldehyde (Paraformaldehyde, [PFA]) fixer is fixed.After fixing overnight, brain is taken out, is placed in
30% sucrose solution 48 hours is cut into 30 microns of brain piece with slicer (Leica, CM1900), stores -20 DEG C of refrigerators.These
Slice is then by carry out immunohistochemical analysis.
Cell count
Immunohistochemistry staining method is taken to detect Dcx positive cells to all slices simultaneously.Each hippocampus slice
Whenever the 6th slice (30 microns of thickness, at a distance of 180 microns) is all handled in series.With reference to (Gao&Chen 2013) institute
State carry out cell count.In brief, the newborn nerve cell in each Dcx positives of hippocampal dentate granular cell layer is counted.Carefully
Born of the same parents' sum is further corrected (Coggeshall&Lekan 1996).
Micro-imaging technology
Slice is analyzed (Zeiss Axiovert 200M) by inverted microscope system and is combined simultaneously with ApoTome
Using computer-controlled digital camera (Zeiss AxioCam MRc5) as interface.Image is captured and is combined by ApoTome
AxioVision v4.8 softwares (ZeissAxioVision, v4.8) finally use 7.0 (Adobe of Photoshop
Systems picture mosaic and label) are carried out to picture.
Dendron tracer and analysis
The pictures of 40 times of amplifications of each Dcx positive cells by Neurolucida softwares (MBFBioscience,
Williston, VT) it is used for tracer neuron cell body and dendron.Finally use NeuroExplorer softwares (Next
Technologies, Madison, AL) analyze neuron traces.
Statistical analysis
The data being collected into are expressed in the form of average ± standard deviation.Using student t examine (Fig. 1 E, 1H, 1I) come into
The data of 3 monthly age of row and 12 monthly ages mouse neonatal prematurity neuron number, average dendron number and total dendron length compare.Make
Receive PBS, DMSO and DHF treated 12 monthly age mouse (figure with one-way analysis of variance method (one-way ANOVA) to analyze
2H, 3E, 3F, 3G) the number of newborn prematurity neuronal cell, average dendron number, average dendron length and total dendron it is long
It spends and Fisher least significant differences method (LSD) is used to be used as subsequent comparing check.
Receive PBS, DMSO and DHF treated 12 monthly age mouse using two-way analysis of variance (two-way ANOVA)
The ratio of the total dendron length of (Fig. 3 H) each different types of newborn prematurity neuron simultaneously uses one-way analysis of variance method
(one-way ANOVA) and LSD are as subsequent comparing check.Statistical analysis is carried out using SPSS softwares (IBM Corporation) and by p
Value is set as<0.05.
