Objective:
This study aims to explore the effect of TREM2 modified BMSCs on hippocampus of AD mice.
Methods:
Mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and identified. APP/PS1 double transgenic mice were confirmed to be AD model and divided into 4 groups: control group, MSCs group, MSCs+vector group and MSCs+pEGFP-TREM2 group.
Results:
The incubation period and the number of errors in the MSCs+pEGFP-TREM2 group were significantly decreased than that of control group after 3 days. The quantity and area of Aβ deposition in MSCs+pEGFP-TREM2 group were significantly smaller than that of control group. Aβ40 and Aβ42 levels were significantly decreased most in MSCs+pEGFP-TREM2 group. The expression levels of TREM2 and DAP12 significantly increased in the MSCs+pEGFP-TREM2 group.
Conclusions:
TREM2 modified bone marrow MSCs affected the ability of learning and memory of AD model mice and this mechanism may be related to the expression of TREM2 and DAP12 genes.
