[Objectives] To investigate the effects of ginseng protein on gut microbiota and BDNF/TrkB signaling pathway in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) mice. [Methods] D-galactose/AlCl3 co-induction was used to establish AD model, and mice were randomly divided into normal group 1, normal group 2, model group 1, model group 2, ginseng protein group, and microbiota transplantation group. Morris water maze experiment was used to evaluate learning and memory ability, and Western blot method was used to detect the expression of APP, p-Tau, BDNF, TrkB, p-TrkB proteins in brain tissue, and 16S rDNA was used to detect diversity of fecal microbiota. [Results] Ginseng protein and microbiota transplantation can shorten the escape latency of mice (P<0.05), increase the number of crossing platforms (P<0.05), reduce the expression of APP and p-Tau proteins in brain tissue (P<0.05, P<0.01), increase the expression of BDNF, p-TrkB, p-TrkB/TrkB proteins (P<0.05, P<0.01), and reduce the abundance of Alloprevotella, Ruminococcaceae_UCG-014, Prevotellaceae_UCG-001, and Ruminococcus_1 (P<0.05, P<0.01). [Conclusions] The action mechanism of ginseng protein anti AD may be through regulating gut microbiota diversity and activating the BDNF/TrkB signaling pathway. |
