Dietary Spray-Dried Porcine Plasma Reduces Neuropathological Alzheimer’s Disease Hallmarks in SAMP8 Mice

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the aberrant processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) and the accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau, both of which are accompanied by neuroinflammation.

description Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the aberrant processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) and the accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau, both of which are accompanied by neuroinflammation. Dietary supplementation with spray-dried porcine plasma (SDP) has anti-inflammatory effects in inflammation models. We investigated whether dietary supplementation with SDP prevents the neuropathological features of AD. The experiments were performed in 2- and 6-month-old SAMP8 mice fed a control diet, or a diet supplemented with 8% SDP, for 4 months. AD brain molecular markers were determined by Western blot and real-time PCR. Senescent mice showed reduced levels of p-GSK3β (Ser9) and an increase in p-CDK5, p-tau (Ser396), sAPPβ, and the concentration of Aβ<sub>40,</sub> (all <i>p</i> < 0.05). SDP prevented these effects of aging and reduced <i>Bace1</i> levels (all <i>p</i> < 0.05). Senescence increased the expression of <i>Mme1</i> and <i>Ide1</i> and pro-inflammatory cytokines (<i>Il-17</i> and <i>Il-18</i>; all <i>p</i> < 0.05); these changes were prevented by SDP supplementation. Moreover, SDP increased <i>Tgf-β</i> expression (<i>p</i> < 0.05). Furthermore, in aged mice, the gene expression levels of the microglial activation markers <i>Trem2</i>, <i>Ym1</i>, and <i>Arg1</i> were increased, and SDP prevented these increases (all <i>p</i> < 0.05). Thus, dietary SDP might delay AD onset by reducing its hallmarks in senescent mice.
