摘要:The deposition of β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques and progressive loss of neurons are two main characteristics of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Supplement of neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) is a promising strategy for repair of the neurodegenerative diseases. However, hostile microenvironment of neurodegenerative brain is harmful for the neuroregeneration. Aβ42 promoted the proliferation of NSPCs. Moreover, Aβ42 (10—1000 n M ) promoted the migration of NSPCs in a dose-dependent manner. The attraction of NSPCs toward Aβ42 was significantly offset by 10 μ M cyclosporin H, a potent and selective formyl peptide receptor antagonist. After incubation with Aβ42 for 9 d, the migration ability of NSPCs was significantly decreased ( p <0.05). The expression of formyl peptide receptor (FPR) and CXC chemokine receptor-4 (CXCR4) were significantly decreased in NSPCs. The expression of G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) was up-regulated on the membrane of NSPCs correspondingly. Our results suggested that Aβ42 decreases the migratory capacity of NSPCs by FPR heterologous desensitization after long time incubation, and GRK2 in NSPCs may be responsible for the damaged migratory capacity.
