Abstract

AbstractBackgroundDiabetes mellitus (DM) is an independent risk factor for cognitive dysfunction. The resolvin E1 (RvE1)/ChemR23 axis is involved in the progression and complications of DM. However, the impact of the RvE1/ChemR23 axis on diabetes‐related cognitive impairment remains unclear.MethodAging‐related behavioral changes in db/db diabetic mice and age‐matched nondiabetic controls were assessed, and changes of ChemR23 in the hippocampus were studied.ResultThe results showed that db/db mice exhibited age dependent learning and memory impairments in the Morris water maze test, along with reduced expression of ChemR23 in the hippocampus compared with age‐matched wild‐type mice. Moreover, neuronal damage, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation were also observed in db/db mice. A moderate dose of RvE1 for 4 weeks elicited a significant reduction in memory loss, along with reduced neuronal damage, alleviation of oxidative stress, and attenuated neuroinflammation in diabetic mice but not in ChemR23‐knockout diabetic mice.ConclusionCollectively, our study suggested that RvE1 could ameliorate DM‐related cognitive dysfunction by reducing oxidative stress and neuroinflammation in a ChemR23‐dependent manner.
