    AbstractThe main clinical manifestation of Alzheimer's disease is progressive cognitive decline, and its pathological features are β-amyloid (Aβ) deposition, neurofibrillary tangles, synaptic dysfunction and neuron death. Neuroinflammation is an important reason for the occurrence and development of AD, which is mainly manifested by the accumulation of activated microglia and reactive astrocytes. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is one of the most important apolipoprotein in the brain, which is related to metabolism, aggregation and toxicity of Aβ. However, the underlying mechanism needs to be further explored. In this study, we studied the effect of ApoE mimetic peptide COG1410 on spatial learning and memory functions, deposition of Aβ in the dentate gyrus (DG) of APP/PS1 transgenic mice, and the different effects of A1 and A2 subtypes of reactive astrocytes. Administration of COG1410 effectively improved performance in spatial learning and memory of APP/PS1 mice, reduced Aβ deposition and significantly reverted the ratio of A1/A2 reactive astrocytes, which could be associated with BDNF/TrkB signaling pathway. On the whole, the present findings suggest new possibility of using apolipoprotein E mimetic peptide to treat AD with potential effectiveness.Copyright © 2023 The Author(s).
