Correction of Disorders in Psychoneurological Status and Functioning of Progenitor Cells of the Nervous Tissue with NF-κB Inhibitor under Conditions of Alzheimer’s Disease Modeling

We studied the effect of NF-κB blockade on the state of various pools of progenitor cells of the nervous tissue and the psychoneurological status of experimental animals with modeled Alzheimer’s disease. Administration of scopolamine hydrobromide to C57BL/6 mice for 4 weeks was accompanied by the development of “persistent” disturbances in the orientation and exploratory behavior and mnestic function. An ameliorating effect of the NF-κB inhibitor on these cognitive disorders typical of senile dementia was revealed. At the same time, we observed an increase in the content of neural stem cells and committed neuronal precursors in the subventricular zone of the brain.
