Overload of intracellular calcium caused by amyloid-β peptide has been implicated in the pathogenesis of neuronal damage in Alzheimer's disease. Voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) provide one of the major sources of Ca2+ entry into cells. Here, we investigated whether icariin had effect on the changes of calcium currents induced by Aβ25-35 in hippocampal pyramidal neurons. Using whole-cell patch-clamp, we showed that Aβ25-35 enhanced the inward Ba2+ and Ca2+ currents. The currents were partially inhibited by Ni2+ and completely suppressed by Cd2+ , indicating that Aβ25-35 disrupts intracellular calcium homeostasis via the modulation of both L- and T-type channels. Furthermore, icariin nearly complete suppressed the abnormal inward calcium currents induced by Aβ25-35 in a dose-dependant manner. Our findings suggest that the potential neuroprotective effect of icariin on Aβ25-35-induced neurotoxicity via the balance intracelluar calcium homeostasis.
