Methods Forty adult male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into five groups: the control group, the maltolate group (7.56 mg/kg BW), and the Al(mal)s groups (0.27, 0.54, and 1.08 mg/kg BW, respectively). Control rats were administered with 0.9% normal saline through intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection. Maltolate and Al(mal)s were administered to the rats also through i.p. injections. Administration was conducted daily for two months. Rat neural behavior was examined using open field tests (OFT). And the protein expressions and their mRNAs transcription related with APP catabolism were studied using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results The expressions of APP, 13-site APP cleaving enzyme 1 (BACEI) and presenilin-1 (PSi) proteins and their mRNAs transcription increased gradually with the increase of Al(mal)3 doses (P〈0.05). The enzyme activity of BACEI in the 0.54 and 1.08 mg/kg Al(mal)s groups increased significantly (P〈0.05). The expression of 8-amyloid protein (AS) 1-40 gradually decreased while the protein expression of A81-42 increased gradually with the increase of Al(mal)s doses (P〈0.05). Conclusion Result from our study suggested that one of the possible mechanisms that Al(mal)s can cause neurotoxicity is that Al(mal)s can increase the generation of A81-42 by facilitating the expressions of APP, β-, and γ-secretase.展开更多
