Abstract | AIMS: MATERIALS AND METHODS: After induction of the AD model, the rats were transplanted with DEF-preconditioned Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs) or untreated cells. Memory function, antioxidant capacity, cell density, and homing of transplanted cells were assessed using Morris water maze and shuttle box tasks as well as biochemical and histochemical methods. KEY FINDINGS:
Transplantation of AMSCs caused a memory improvement when compared to the AD model. The injection of DEF-preconditioned AMSCs was more effective in improving learning and memory than the untreated cells through an increase in the antioxidant capacity. Moreover, the homing of transplanted cells was higher in the rats that received the preconditioned cells than that of the naïve cell-injected group. SIGNIFICANCE:
