Introduction: Schisandrin which is derived from Schisandra chinensis has shown multiple pharmacological effects on various diseases including Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It is demonstrated that mitochondrial dysfunction plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. Objective: Our study aims to investigate the effects of schisandrin on mitochondrial functions and metabolisms in primary hippocampal neurons. Methods: In our study, rat primary hippocampal neurons were isolated and treated with indicated dose of amyloid β1–42 (Aβ1–42) oligomer to establish a cell model of AD in vitro. Schisandrin (2 μg/mL) was further subjected to test its effects on mitochondrial function, energy metabolism, mitochondrial biogenesis, and dynamics in the Aβ1–42 oligomer-treated neurons. Results and Conclusions: Our findings indicated that schisandrin significantly alleviated the Aβ1–42 oligomer-induced loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and impaired cytochrome c oxidase activity. Additionally, the opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pore and release of cytochrome c were highly restricted with schisandrin treatment. Alterations in cell viability, ATP production, citrate synthase activity, and the expressions of glycolysis-related enzymes demonstrated the relief of defective energy metabolism in Aβ-treated neurons after the treatment of schisandrin. For mitochondrial biogenesis, elevated expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator along with promoted mitochondrial mass was found in schisandrin-treated cells. The imbalance in the cycle of fusion and fission was also remarkably restored by schisandrin. In summary, this study provides novel mechanisms for the protective effect of schisandrin on mitochondria-related functions.

Abstract Background Silexan, a special essential oil from flowering tops of lavandula angustifolia, is used to treat subsyndromal anxiety disorders. In a recent clinical trial, Silexan also showed antidepressant effects in patients suffering from mixed anxiety-depression (ICD-10 F41.2). Since preclinical data explaining antidepressant properties of Silexan are missing, we decided to investigate if Silexan also shows antidepressant-like effects in vitro as well as in vivo models. Methods We used the forced swimming test (FST) in rats as a simple behavioral test indicative of antidepressant activity in vivo. As environmental events and other risk factors contribute to depression through converging molecular and cellular mechanisms that disrupt neuronal function and morphology—resulting in dysfunction of the circuitry that is essential for mood regulation and cognitive function—we investigated the neurotrophic properties of Silexan in neuronal cell lines and primary hippocampal neurons. Results The antidepressant activity of Silexan (30 mg/kg BW) in the FST was comparable to the tricyclic antidepressant imipramine (20 mg/kg BW) after 9-day treatment. Silexan triggered neurite outgrowth and synaptogenesis in 2 different neuronal cell models and led to a significant increase in synaptogenesis in primary hippocampal neurons. Silexan led to a significant phosphorylation of protein kinase A and subsequent CREB phosphorylation. Conclusion Taken together, Silexan demonstrates antidepressant-like effects in cellular as well as animal models for antidepressant activity. Therefore, our data provides preclinical evidence for the clinical antidepressant effects of Silexan in patients with mixed depression and anxiety.

Abstract BackgroundNeuroinflammation plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), particularly in amyloid-β (Aβ) production. But the impact of the cytokine, interleukin-17A (IL-17) on the course of AD has not been well defined. The goal was to determine the effect of IL-17 on neural damage and whether IL-17 inhibitor (Y-320) could ameliorate Aβ-induced neurotoxicity and cognitive decline.MethodsThe expression level of IL-17 was analyzed in APP/PS1 mice. Then IL-17 was injected into the lateral ventricle of C57BL WT mice and roles on synaptic dysfunction and cognitive impairments were examined. Aβ42 was injected into the lateral ventricle of to mimic Aβ42 model mice. The effects of IL-17 inhibitor by oral gavage on Aβ42-induced neurotoxicity and cognitive decline were examined. ResultsWe found that IL-17 was increased in the hippocampus of APP/PS1 transgenic mouse, which has a fundamental role in mediating brain damage in neuroinflammatory processes. Furthermore, we reported that IL-17 was administrated in primary hippocampal neurons, leading to neural damage and synaptic dysfunction. At the same time, IL-17 caused synaptic dysfunction and cognitive impairments accompanying with increased of Aβ levels in mice. In addition, we found that Y-320 could rescue Aβ42–induced neural damage in primary hippocampal neurons, and ameliorate neuronal damage and cognitive impairments in Aβ42 model mice. Interestingly, we observed that IL-17 upregulated the production of soluble amyloid precursor protein β (sAPPβ) and phosphorylation of APP at T668 (pT668), moreover, Y-320 inhibited the Aβ production by down-regulation the sAPPβ and pT668. Conclusions Blockage of IL-17 might ameliorate Aβ-induced neurotoxicity and cognitive decline. These results strongly demonstrate a potential therapeutic role for IL-17 inhibitor in AD.
