Abstract

Brachial plexus root avulsion (BPRA) is one of the most serious injuries of the upper extremity, which requires more effective treatment. Trehalose, a natural disaccharide, has reported to has a protective effect in neurodegenerative diseases. However, the effective effects and mechanism of trehalose on BPRA are still unclear. BPRA rat model were established, and then effects of trehalose on BPRA were investigated. TBHP-treated NSC34 cells with or without trehalose treatment were used for mechanism studies by Western blotting, Immunofluorescence and Flow cytometry analysis. Trehalose elevated the survival of motor neurons in rats after BPRA, suggesting a protective role of trehlose on BPRA. Trehalose treatment in rats after BPRA enhanced the autophage and thus inhibited apoptosis compared with rats in Vehicle group. Moreover, in TBHP-treated NSC34 cells, trehalose promoted the expression of autophage-related markers (LC3 and Beclin-1), concomitant with decreased levels of apoptosis. In vitro mechanism study indicated that the regulations of trehalose on autophage and apoptosis were via the AMPK-ULK1 pathway. Trehalose protects injured MNs by enhancing autophage and inhibiting apoptosis, which demonstrating the essential role of...Continue Reading

Autophagy & Model Organisms

Autophagy is a cellular process that allows degradation by the lysosome of cytoplasmic components such as proteins or organelles. Here is the latest research on autophagy & model organisms

Autophagosome

An autophagosome is the formation of double-membrane vesicles that involve numerous proteins and cytoplasmic components. These double-membrane vesicles are then terminated at the lysosome where they are degraded. Discover the latest research on autophagosomes here.

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
