摘要： Neuroinflammation is one of the major processes that trigger neuropathological amyloid-l3 (Al3) deposition and contribute to Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression. Naked mole rats, which are the longest living rodents and exhibit negligible senescence, have a special brain microenvironment characterized by high-molecular-mass hyaluronan (HMM-HA) and high levels of neuregulin 1 (NRG1), which are related to resistance to neuroinflammation and Al3 deposition, leading to protection from AD. Thus, mimicking the unique brain microenvironment of the naked mole rat as a strategy for AD treatment is of critical interest. Here, naked mole rat HMMHA and NRG1 were used to establish an injectable neuroinflammation-responsive triglycerol monostearate (TM)HA-NRG1 hydrogel to alter the brain microenvironment in the early to late stages of AD. Intracerebroventricular (ICV) delivery of the hydrogel resulted in significant mitigation of Al3 plaque formation and complement C1q deposition in the hippocampus. Interestingly, we found that C1q deposition on pericytes was probably associated with capillary dysfunction. Furthermore, continuous intervention obviously reduced C1q deposition on pericytes and improved the oxygen supply to the brain. Importantly, in 16-month-old AD mice, cognitive decline was significantly ameliorated after TM-HA-NRG1 hydrogel treatment. Thus, the work reported here provides a potential early intervention strategy for retarding later AD progression.
