Curcumin improves memory deficits by inhibiting HMGB1-RAGE/TLR4-NF-κB signalling pathway in APPswe/PS1dE9 transgenic mice hippocampus.

ABSTRACT: Amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition in the brain has been implicated in the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and neuroinflammation generates AD progression. Therapeutic effects of anti-inflammatory approaches in AD are still under investigation. Curcumin, a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, has demonstrated therapeutic potential in AD models. However, curcumin's anti-inflammatory molecular mechanisms and its associated cognitive impairment mechanisms in AD remain unclear. The high-mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1) participates in the regulation of neuroinflammation. Herein, we attempted to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects of chronic oral administration of curcumin and HMGB1 expression in APP/PS1 transgenic mice AD model. We found that transgenic mice treated with a curcumin
