Immunofluorescence staining revealed that the number of newly generated （BrdU＋） cells in the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus in the hippocampus was signiifcantly higher in Alzheimer＇s disease mice after adipose-de-rived mesenchymal stem cell transplantation, and there was also a significant increase in the number of BrdU＋/DCX＋neuroblasts in these animals. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell transplantation enhanced neurogenic activity in the subventricular zone as well. Furthermore, adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell transplantation reduced oxidative stress and alleviated cognitive impairment in the mice. Based on these ifndings, we propose that adipose-derived mes-enchymal stem cell transplantation enhances endogenous neurogenesis in both the subgranular and subventricular zones in APP/PS1 transgenic Alzheimer＇s disease mice, thereby facilitating functional recovery.展开更多
