Abstract

Tauopathies belong to a heterogeneous class of neuronal diseases resulting in the metabolic disturbance. A disulfide natural compound of Alpha-Lipoic acid (ALA) has shown numerous pharmacologic, antioxidant, and neuroprotective activities under neuropathological conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the neuroprotective effects of ALA on the tauopathy-induced oxidative disturbance and behavioral deficits. The transgenic Drosophila model of tauopathy induced by human tauR406W using GAL4/UAS system and effects of ALA (0.001, 0.005, and 0.025 % w/w of diet) on the neuropathology of tau in younger (20 days) and older (30 days) adults were investigated via biochemical, molecular, behavioral and in-situ tissue analyses. Expression of apoptosis-related proteins involving Drosophila Cyt-c-d (trigger of intrinsic apoptosis) and DrICE (effector caspase) were upregulated in both ages (20 and 30 days) and DIAP1 (caspase inhibitor) has reduced only in older model flies compared to the controls. Remarkably, all doses of ALA increased DIAP1 and glutathione (GSH) as well as reducing Cyt-c-d and lipid peroxidation (LPO) in the younger flies compared to the model flies. Moreover, the higher doses of ALA were able to decrease thiol ...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

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.
