Abstract
-induced PC12 cell model, treatment with mitochondrial sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) inhibitor and inducer molecules confirmed that the <3 kDa fraction and WYPGK activated SIRT3, leading to the decrease in Ace-SOD2 acetylation and increasing the expression of SYP, SYN-1, SNAP25, and PSD95, thus enhancing synaptic plasticity. The <3 kDa fraction and WYPGK also activated the ERK/CREB pathway and upregulated the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor. Our results show that fraction <3 kDa and WYPGK improve learning and memory ability through SIRT3-induced synaptic plasticity in vitro and in vivo.
