Abstract

1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) is a neurotoxin that damages dopaminergic neurons. Zebrafish has been shown to be a suitable model organism to investigate the molecular pathways in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease and also for potential therapeutic agent research. Boron has been shown to play an important role in the neural activity of the brain. Boronic acids are used in combinatorial approaches in drug design and discovery. The effect of 3-pyridinylboronic acid which is an important sub-class of heterocyclic boronic acids has not been evaluated in case of MPTP exposure in zebrafish embryos. Accordingly, this study was designed to investigate the effects of 3-pyridinylboronic acid on MPTP exposed zebrafish embryos focusing on the molecular pathways related to neurodegeneration and apoptosis by RT-PCR. Zebrafish embryos were exposed to MPTP (800 μM); MPTP + Low Dose 3-Pyridinylboronic acid (50 μM) (MPTP + LB) and MPTP + High Dose 3-Pyridinylboronic acid (100 μM) (MPTP + HB) in well plates for 72 hours post fertilization. Results of our study showed that MPTP induced a P53 dependent and Bax mediated apoptosis in zebrafish embryos and 3-pyridinylboronic acid restored the locomotor activity and gene expr...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
