Ibuprofen modifies cognitive disease progression in an Alzheimer’s mouse model

Van Dam, D., Coen, K., De Deyn, PP·2010·Journal of Psychopharmacology

Abstract

Prolonged use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and delay disease onset. Negative results of clinical AD trials were rationalised by the discovery that certain NSAIDs reduce amyloid-β 1—42 (Aβ 1— 42 ) peptide production, the proposed central culprit in AD pathophysiology and main constituent of amyloid plaques, whereas other compounds do not affect Aβ levels. Latter observations motivated further in-vitro and in-vivo research regarding the applicability of NSAIDs in treating and/or preventing AD. We used the age-dependent cognitive decline in the APP23 transgenic mouse model for AD to evaluate disease-modifying efficacy of chronic ibuprofen treatment at the cognitive level. At age 6 weeks, heterozygous APP23 mice and control littermates were subcutaneously implanted with osmotic pumps delivering saline or ibuprofen (50 mg/kg daily). After 2 months of treatment, a 3-week washout period prevented bias from potential symptomatic effects before cognitive evaluation commenced. Ibuprofen-treated APP23 mice performed significantly better than their sham-treated counterparts and almost attained the same level of performance as control animals on a complex visual-spatial learning task. This study clearly reports disease-modifying efficacy of ibuprofen at the cognitive level in transgenic mice modelling AD.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
