| Core Tip |
Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) exerts pleiotropic effects, including notable neuroprotection. This study evaluated whether BoNT can ameliorate aging-related neuroinflammation and prevent the decline of hippocampal neurogenesis. BoNT treatment significantly reduced the number of activated microglia, accompanied by decreased expression of cyclooxygenase-2 and diminished levels of nitric oxide. Therefore, the observed increase in doublecortin-positive immature neurons and bromodeoxyuridine - neuronal nuclei double-positive newly generated neurons in the hippocampus may signify the synergistic anti-inflammatory and neuroregenerative properties of BoNT. These findings suggest that BoNT treatment could be explored as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of dementia. |
