KL-FGF23-VD Axis in Improving Late-Onset Alzheimer's Disease by Modulating IKK/NF-κB Signal Pathway.

Materials and Methods LOAD rats and A β microglia were constructed by using A β 1-40 and IBO mixture. The effect of KL-FGF23-VD axis on LOAD was investigated by transfecting overexpressing and interfering with KL gene adenovirus, and IKK-16 was added to A β microglia to explore the effect of KL-FGF23-VD axis on regulation of IKK/NF- κ B signaling pathway. Results The results showed that, in KL-OE group, FGF23 was decreased in the hippocampus of LOAD rats compared with control and KL-si, and the trend was opposite in the KL-si group. The KL-FGF23-VD axis can alleviate inflammatory response, reduce the deposition of A β , and inhibit activation of the NF- κ B pathway and neuron apoptosis in brain tissue of LOAD rats. In A β microglia, the expression of KL-FGF23-VD axis was consistent with animal experiments. The KL-FGF23-VD axis can inhibit the expression of A β microglia inflammatory factors and the activation of microglia and NF- κ B pathway. Meanwhile, IKK expression was decreased in KL-OE group compared with KL-si and Control. In the IKK-16 addition group, the ability of KL-FGF23-VD axis to inhibit the activation of microglia and NF- κ B pathway was enhanced. Conclusions These findings suggest a potential role of the KL-FGF23-VD axis in AD treatment by regulating the IKK/NF- κ B pathway.
