目的:探讨补骨脂素对淀粉样蛋白(Aβ)诱导海马神经元胆碱能系统损伤的保护作用。方法:应用Aβ损伤补骨脂素预处理的体外培养海马神经元,分别测定海马神经元乙酰胆碱含量,乙酰胆碱酯酶和胆碱乙酰基转移酶活性。结果:补骨脂素可以提高乙酰胆碱酯酶活性和乙酰胆碱水平,对乙酰胆碱酯酶作用不明显。结论:补骨脂素对损伤神经元Aβ损伤海马神经元胆碱能系统有保护作用。
Objective:To investigate the neuroprotection of psoralen onβamyloid-induced cholinergic system injury in hippocampal neuron.Methods:Hippocampal neuron cultures pretreated with psoralen was treated by βamyloid.Content of acetylcholine,activities of cholinesterase and choline acetyltransferase were determined.Results:Psoralen elevated the activity of cholinesterase and the content of acetylcholine,without effect on the activity of choline acetyltransferase.Conclusion:Psoralen could protect cholinergic system from βamyloid-induced injury in hippocampal neuron.
