LID - 10.3390/md17030168 [doi] LID - 168 AB - Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is involved in various neurodegenerative disorders. We previously found that Capsosiphon fulvescens (C. fulvescens) crude proteins enhance spatial memory by increasing the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in rat dorsal hippocampus. The present study investigated whether the chronic oral administration of hydrophilic C. fulvescens glycoproteins (Cf-hGP) reduces aging-induced cognitive dysfunction by regulating ER stress in the dorsal hippocampus. The oral administration of Cf-hGP (15 mg/kg/day) for four weeks attenuated the aging-induced increase in ER stress response protein glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) in the synaptosome of the dorsal hippocampus; this was attenuated by the function-blocking anti-BDNF antibody (1 mug/muL) and a matrix metallopeptidase 9 inhibitor 1 (5 muM). Aging-induced GRP78 expression was associated with glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (GSK-3beta) (Tyr216)-mediated c-Jun N-terminal kinase phosphorylation, which was downregulated upon Cf-hGP administration. The Cf-hGP-induced increase in GSK-3beta (Ser9) phosphorylation was downregulated by inhibiting tyrosine receptor kinase B and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 with cyclotraxin-B (200 nM) and SL327 (10 muM), respectively. Cf-hGP administration or the inhibition of ER stress with salubrinal (1 mg/kg, i.p.) significantly decreased aging-induced spatial memory impairment. These findings suggest that the activation of the synaptosomal BDNF-ERK1/2 signaling in the dorsal hippocampus by Cf-hGP attenuates age-dependent ER stress-induced cognitive dysfunction.
