Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) induces various forms of cerebral infarcts and
hemorrhages from vascular amyloid-? accumulation, resulting in acceleration of
cognitive impairment, which is currently untreatable. Soluble amyloid-? protein
likely impairs cerebrovascular integrity as well as cognitive function in early
stage Alzheimer's disease. Taxifolin, a flavonol with strong anti-oxidative and
anti-glycation activities, has been reported to disassemble amyloid-? in vitro
but the in vivo relevance remains unknown. Here, we investigated whether
taxifolin has therapeutic potential in attenuating CAA, hypothesizing that
inhibiting amyloid-? assembly may facilitate its clearance through several
elimination pathways. Vehicle- or taxifolin-treated Tg-SwDI mice (commonly used
to model CAA) were used in this investigation. Cognitive and cerebrovascular
function, as well as the solubility and oligomerization of brain amyloid-?
proteins, were investigated. Spatial reference memory was assessed by water maze
test. Cerebral blood flow was measured with laser speckle flowmetry and
cerebrovascular reactivity evaluated by monitoring cerebral blood flow changes in
response to hypercapnia. Significantly reduced cerebrovascular pan-amyloid-? and
amyloid-?(1-40) accumulation was found in taxifolin-treated Tg-SwDI mice compared
to vehicle-treated counterparts (n?=?5). Spatial reference memory was severely
impaired in vehicle-treated Tg-SwDI mice but normalized after taxifolin
treatment, with scoring similar to wild type mice (n?=?10-17). Furthermore,
taxifolin completely restored decreased cerebral blood flow and cerebrovascular
reactivity in Tg-SwDI mice (n?=?4-6). An in vitro thioflavin-T assay showed
taxifolin treatment resulted in efficient inhibition of amyloid-?(1-40) assembly.
In addition, a filter trap assay and ELISA showed Tg-SwDI mouse brain homogenates
exhibited significantly reduced levels of amyloid-? oligomers in vivo after
taxifolin treatment (n?=?4-5), suggesting the effects of taxifolin on CAA are
attributable to the inhibition of amyloid-? oligomer formation. In conclusion,
taxifolin prevents amyloid-? oligomer assembly and fully sustains cognitive and
cerebrovascular function in a CAA model mice. Taxifolin thus appears a promising
therapeutic approach for CAA.
