Background: As an increasing population of Alzheimer?s disease (AD) patients year by year, which is a serious threat to human health, an effective approach to prevent and treat AD is required. Biomarker changes relevant to ?-amyloid (A?) 20 years or more in advance of cognitive impairment, so early intervention is a feasible idea for AD therapy. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) as a non-invasive technique offers the possibility of early intervention.Objective: To explore the effect of high-frequency rTMS on the pathological symptoms of AD transgenic mice and its mechanisms, a figure-of-eight coil was placed 2 mm above the head of mouse to apply 20 Hz high-intensity rTMS for 14 consecutive days.Methods: In vivo electrophysiological recording, behavioral test, Western blots assay and immunofluorescence were used to measure the pathological symptoms of AD.Results: Our data showed that early intervention effectively reduced A? levels and the activation of microglia on the one hand, and decreased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines including IL-6 and TNF-? as well as regulated PI3K/Akt/NF-?B signaling pathway on the other hand, which created a favorable brain environment. Thus, it increased the expression of synapse-associated proteins and improved neuronal synaptic plasticity in brain of early-stage of 5xFAD transgenic mice.Conclusions: This study is the first to suggest that early intervention of 20 Hz rTMS ameliorates neuroinflammation to improve synaptic plasticity of early-stage of 5xFAD mice through PI3K/Akt/NF-?B signaling pathway.
