Abstract:Objective To study the role of apoptosis-related proteins in pathological changes of Alzheimer′s disease. Methods Six senescence accelerated mouse P8 (SAMP8) aged 3 months, 12 SAMP8 aged 6 months and 6 senescence accelerated mouse/resistance 1 (SAMR1) aged 6 months were selected and divided into four groups, group A had 6 SAMR1 mice of 6-month-old, group B had 6 SAMP8 mice of 3-month-old, both groups were selected as control. Group C had 6 SAMP8 mice (sham treatment group), Group O had 6 SAMP8 mice (drug treatment group) aged 6 months. Group O was intraperitoneally injected with Obatoclax 0.2 mL, while group C was injected with the same amount of 0.9% physiological saline for 14 consecutive days. The cognitive function was tested by Morris water maze and the levels of Bcl-2, p-tau and caspase-3 were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results Compared with group A, the incubation periods of Morris water maze experiment in group B, C and O were significantly prolonged, and the times of platform crossings were significantly reduced (P < 0.05). Compared with the first experiment, the incubation period of the second Morris water maze experiment in group O was highly prolonged, and the times of platform crossings was statistically decreased (P < 0.05). Compared with group C, the number of positive cells protein of Bcl-2 in group O increased significantly (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in the mean optical density (IOD) and number of positive cells of caspase-3 (P > 0.05), there also was no significant difference in the IOD and number of positive cells of p-tau protein (P > 0.05). Conclusion The SAMP8 mice show a tendency of memory decline with prolonged survival time. Bcl-2 is a key component in cognitive change and cognitive change may not through pathways of the caspase-3 or p-tau.
