Abstract:
The pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is highly correlated with obesity-induced insulin resistance. Resveratrol (Res) is a natural phenol that demonstrates a neuroprotective effect, but the bioactivity of Res is low in vivo. Here, chitosan (CS) was cross-linked with sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) to encapsulate low water solubility Res. Next, a brain-targeted peptide (TG: TGNYKALHPHNG) was modified on the surface of Res-loaded CS/TPP nanoparticles (TG-Res-CS/TPP-NPs) to specifically deliver Res to the brain. Morris water maze results indicated that cognitive impairments were ameliorated by TG-Res-CS/TPP-NPs in obesity-related AD mice. Obesity-related insulin resistance promotes Tau phosphorylation and A beta aggregation in the brain. Administration of TG-Res-CS/TPP-NPs alleviated lipid deposition-induced insulin resistance and decreased the level of phos-phorylated Tau and A beta aggregation via the JNK/AKT/GSK3 beta pathway. Additionally, TG-Res-CS/TPP-NPs transported across blood-brain barrier which in turn increased glucose transporter expression levels, antioxi-dant enzyme activity and inhibited microglial cell activation. Thus, TG-Res-CS/TPP-NPs were more effective than Res-CS/TPP-NPs at regulating glucose homeostasis, oxidative stress and neuroinflammation in the brain. Moreover, inflammatory, lipid metabolism and oxidative stress-related gut microbiota including Helicobacter, Colidextribacter, Anaerotruncus, Parasutterella, Allobaculum, Alloprevotella, Alistipes, Bifidobacterium and Candida-tus_Saccharimonas were also regulated by TG-Res-CS/TPP-NPs. This work indicates the potential use of TG-Res-CS/TPP-NPs for the delivery of Res.
