Fucoidan ameliorates LPS-induced neuronal cell damage and cognitive impairment in mice
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL MACROMOLECULES(2022)
摘要
The incidence of cognitive impairment is rising globally, but there is no effective therapy. Recent studies showed that fucoidan (Fuc), a sulfated polysaccharide enriched in brown algae, is widely used due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and prebiotic effects. However, the effects and mechanisms of Fuc on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced neuronal cell damage and cognitive impairment in mice need to be explored further. In the present study, we found that Fuc treatment protected HT22 cells from LPS-induced damage by inhibiting the activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes. Fuc exerted neuroprotective effects in mice with LPS-induced cognitive impairment by ameliorating neuroinflammation, promoting neurogenesis, and reducing blood-brain barrier and intestinal barrier permeability. Mechanistically, Fuc supplement significantly restructured the gut microbiota composition, which may be related to glucose and fructose metabolism. In conclusion, Fuc ameliorated LPS-induced neuronal cell damage and cognitive impairment in mice, suggesting that Fuc may be a medicinal and food homologous functional agent to improve cognitive function.
