Popis: Macroautophagy, a sole pathway for dysfunctional organelles or aggregated proteins turnover, has been implicated in the early development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Previous studies have found that reversal of autophagy dysfunction in APP transgenic mice ameliorates amyloid pathologies. Icariin (ICA), the main component from traditional Chinese herb Epimedium brevicornu Maxim., can reduce accumulations of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide in vivo and in vitro, but the mechanism remains unclear. Here, we explored the effects of ICA on autophagy-lysosomal pathway in intracerebroventricular (icv) injection of human Aβ
