Abstract

Neurocognitive disorders have been characterized by being a devastating
long-term neurological disease with a huge social and economic impact.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia accompanied
with decline in cognitive functions. Objectives: The main aim of this study is to
suggest therapeutic protocol having the potentials for restoring and modifying
neuropathological deposited hallmarks including both positive and negative
lesions such as amyloid plaques, tau protein and synaptic loss. Materials and
Methods :Rats were divided into nine groups:(G1) control;(G2) rats received
lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as a method of inducing nongenetically manipulated
neuroinflammatory AD type ;(G3) AD rats received NaHS; (G4) AD rats received
mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) intracerebrally; (G5)AD rats received
MSCs+NaHS ; (G6) AD rats received kefir+Ginko Biloba (GB); (G7) AD rats received
MSCs+ kefir+GB;(G8)AD rats received NaHS+kefir+GB; (G9)AD rats received
MSCs+NaHS+kefir+GB. Results: The induction of AD resulted in downregulation of
cystathionine β-synthase enzyme (CBS) relative gene expression and Glutathione
(GSH) brain tissue level accompanied with overexpression in amyloid-β
protein, mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK), tau protein, ACAT(Acyl-
CoA:cholesterol Acyl transferase) relative gene expression and Malondialdehyde
(MDA) brain tissue level in addition to elevated caspase-3 serum activity level.
Conclusion: The present study clearly proved the beneficial role of NaHS as
exogenous H2S donor in attenuating AD drawbacks mainly through CBS/H2S
overexpression enhancing the degradation of Aβ deposited plaques in addition to
the ability of MSCs administrated locally to develop into different types of neural
cells to compensate damaged ones. Regarding the role of administrating Kefir
and GB in maintaining normal brain functions suggested to be as a result of their
synergistic antioxidant and anti-apoptotic actions
