Multi-omics reveal the neuroprotective mechanisms of Xinshubao tablet against scopolamine-induced cognitive dysfunction in mice.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with limited treatments. Xinshubao tablet (XSB), a traditional Chinese medicine, contains several bioactive compounds with notable neuroprotective effects. Our previous studies have demonstrated that XSB can alleviate cognitive deficits in vascular dementia (VaD) models, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic candidate for AD.

Methods

In this study, scopolamine-induced AD-like mice were orally administered with varying doses of XSB (0.13 g/kg, 0.26 g/kg and 0.52 g/kg) for 28 days. Behavior tests, H&E, Nissl, immunofluorescence staining, and Western blot assays were performed to evaluate the neuroprotection of XSB on AD-like mice. Then, fecal 16S rDNA sequencing, serum metabolomics, and hippo
