Methods M146L cells were culture by low, middle and high dose of LT or positive control drug and the cell activity and the content of A1 42 were detected. The neurons from cerebral cortex of newborn

8、mouse were cultured in B27 supplemented neurobasal, a new serum free medium combination, and identified by NSE staining; MTT assay was carried out to investigate the effect of the LT on development of neurons. Results Different concentrations of LT had no influence on the survival of M146L cells, Di

9、fferent concentrations of LT could inhibit the secretion of A1 42 by M146L cells, Most of the neurons were stained to be positive with NSE, which suggested them being neurons; The results showed that LT (0.04 mmol / L, or 0.2 mmol / L) could increase the number and the length of neurites as well as

10、the number of survival neurons. Conclusions Adequate LT could inhibit the secretion of A1 42 by M146L cells and has a neuroprotective effect on the neurons from cerebral cortex of newborn mouse.

42、sion Now that the pathogenesis of A in AD plays a very important role. Thus preventing the synthesis and deposition of A and promote its metabolism of drugs in the treatment of AD has great potential (5). A inhibitors inhibit the generation and inhibition of A two types of A aggregation (6). apoptos

The cell lines used in the experiments while M146L is two transfected genes in human AD (APP and mutant PS1 in CHO cells over-produce it A1 42, is an ideal mechanism of A expression in the cell model. Li

Another experiment found that lithium could promote small adult rat dentate gyrus cell proliferation and neurogenesis, and the newborn neurons and glial c

This result shows that the role of lithium chloride is multifaceted, it can not only increase neurogenesis , but also promote the occurrence of glial cells. study found that lithium chloride, sodium tungstate and the like are GSK 3 inhibitor, lithium chloride and the co

Meanwhile, the cerebral cortex of newborn mice can promote neurite number, neurite length and the number of surviving cells to increase, decrease neuronal death. Therefore, lithium tungsten is expected to become neur
