proteins as drug targets. Here, we investigate the drug target proteins in beta-amyloid [A beta] injected rat hippocampus treated with Lavandula angustifolia [LA] by proteomics techniques. The reported study showed that lavender extract [LE] improves the spatial performance in AD animal model by diminishing A beta production in histopathology of hippocampus, so in this study neuroprotective proteins expressed in A beta injected rats treated with LE were scrutinized. Rats were divided into three groups including normal, A beta injected, and A beta injected that was treated with LE. Protein expression profiles of hippocampus tissue were determined by two-dimensional electrophoresis [2DE] method and dysregulated proteins such as Snca, NF-L, Hspa5, Prdx2, Apoa1, and Atp5a1were identified by MALDI-TOF/TOF. KEGG pathway and gene ontology [GO] categories were used by searching DAVID Bioinformatics Resources. All detected protein spots were used to determine predicted interactions with other proteins in STRING online database. Different isoforms of important protein, Snca that exhibited neuroprotective effects by anti-apoptotic properties were expressed. NF-L involved in the maintenance of neuronal caliber. Hspa5 likewise Prdx2 displays as anti-apoptotic protein that Prdx2 also involved in the neurotrophic effects. Apoa1 has anti-inflammatory activity and Atp5a1, produces ATP from ADP. To sum up, these proteins as potential drug targets were expressed in hippocampus in response to effective components in LA may have therapeutic properties for the treatment of AD and other neurodegenerative diseases
