Abstract:
Progressive accumulation of the amyloid-
β peptide (A
β) in the brain plays a central role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The animal model of intracerebral injection of A
β oligomers not only provides a method for further exploring the mechanism of A
β in AD, but also can be used to screen drug candidates targeting A
β oligomers. This animal model has been widely used in the study of anti-AD drugs and mechanism of AD. In this paper, we summarize the research progress in the animal model of intracerebral injection of soluble A
β oligomers, including experimental animals, the types of A
β, the preparation of A
β oligomers
in vitro, injection sites and doses, the duration of modeling, animal behavioral changes, and the pathological mechanisms relating to this animal model, which will contribute to the application of the animal model to various conditions.
