摘要:


文题释义:

神经酰胺:作为神经鞘磷脂信号途径的第二信使,是细胞膜的脂质双分子层的基本结构元素,通过介导多种细胞生物学效应,直接参与信号系统,在调节细胞分化、增殖、凋亡及衰老等生命活动中具有重要的作用。
Alpha突触核蛋白:由同源染色体4q21上的SCNA基因编码,是相对分子质量14 000的可溶的且内在无序的酸性蛋白,其在帕金森病的发病机制中起着重要的作用,被认为是引发帕金森病病变的关键蛋白。
蛋白磷酸酶2A:是一种丝氨酸/苏氨酸磷酸酶,由支架亚单位A、调节亚单位B及催化亚单位C三类亚单位组合而成,共包含约60种全酶。研究显示,蛋白磷酸酶2A可催化蛋白质的去磷酸化,参与体内多种酶及转录因子的调控,并在能量代谢、DNA损伤与修复、细胞周期调控和细胞信号转导等方面发挥着重要作用。


背景:C2神经酰胺可减少Alpha突触核蛋白(Alpha-Synuclein,α-Syn)寡聚体的形成,其作为蛋白磷酸酶 2A激动剂在中枢神经系统对细胞老化具有重要调节作用。

目的:探究C2神经酰胺对多巴胺能神经元的保护作用机制。
方法:将25只C57BL/6 系小鼠随机分为对照组、模型组及C2神经酰胺低、中、高剂量组,每组5只。除对照组之外,其他各组均通过左侧纹状体注射突变型 A53T α-Syn寡聚体建立帕金森病小鼠模型,在纹状体注射第30天后,3个C2神经酰胺各剂量组小鼠一次性经胃灌注溶于生理盐水中的各剂量C2神经酰胺(1,5,10 μg/g),对照组及模型组同法灌注等量生理盐水,于造模后第30-90天,连续每天给药,共60 d,期间观察各组小鼠行为学变化。在纹状体注射第90天后,在适度麻醉条件下对各组小鼠灌注取脑,以免疫组织化学染色分析小鼠中脑黑质多巴胺能神经元的变化,以ELISA法检测小鼠中脑α-Syn寡聚化和磷酸化水平,并分析影响α-Syn磷酸化的相关酶活性变化。

结果与结论:① C2神经酰胺对经纹状体注射的突变型A53T α-Syn寡聚体所导致的小鼠帕金森病样运动障碍具有改善作用,且C2神经酰胺高剂量组对帕金森病模型鼠运动障碍的改善作用更为明显(P < 0.01);② 突变型A53T α-Syn寡聚体致使小鼠中脑黑质多巴胺能神经元数目明显减少(P < 0.01),而C2神经酰胺高剂量组黑质多巴胺能神经元数目则明显增多(P < 0.01);③与模型组相比,C2神经酰胺高剂量组小鼠中脑内α-Syn寡聚体和磷酸化α-Syn水平明显降低(P < 0.01),而神经酰胺的水平增高(P < 0.05),蛋白磷酸酶 2A活力明显上调(P < 0.01); ④上述数据说明,C2神经酰胺可通过改善小鼠中脑组织α-Syn的磷酸化修饰环境,缓解了由寡聚的α-Syn所诱导的神经毒性作用,保护了小鼠中脑黑质多巴胺能神经元数量的减少,从而减轻帕金森病的运动障碍程度。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: C2 ceramide reduces the formation of Alpha-Synuclein (α-Syn) oligomers as the protein phosphatase 2A agonist, which has an important regulatory effect on cell aging in the central nervous system.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the protective mechanism of C2 ceramide on dopaminergic neurons.
METHODS: Twenty-five C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group, model group, C2 ceramide low-, medium- and high-dose groups (n=5 per group). Except for the control group, a mouse model of Parkinson’s disease was established by injecting mutant A53T α-Syn oligomers into the left striatum in the other groups. On the 30th day after the striatal injection, three C2 ceramide groups were intragastrically administered with C2 ceramide (1, 5, 10 μg/g) dissolved in saline at one time, while the control and model groups were administered with the same amount of saline within 30-90 days after modeling, for a total of 60 days. Behavioral changes in each group of mice were observed during this period. On the 90th day after striatal injection, mouse brain tissue was extracted by perfusion under anesthesia, and the changes of dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain substantia nigra were analyzed by immunohistochemical staining. The levels of α-Syn oligomerization and phosphorylation in the midbrain of mice were detected by ELISA, and the changes of enzyme activities related to α-Syn phosphorylation were analyzed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: C2 ceramide had an ameliorating effect on Parkinson’s disease-like dyskinesia in mice caused by the striatal injection of mutant A53T α-Syn oligomers. High-dose C2 ceramide showed better effects on dyskinesia in mice with Parkinson’s disease (P < 0.01). The mutant A53T α-Syn oligomers significantly reduced the number of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of mice (P < 0.01), while the number of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra increased significantly in the C2 ceramide high-dose group (P < 0.01). The levels of α-Syn oligomers and phosphorylated α-Syn in the brain were significantly reduced in the C2 ceramide high-dose group compared with the model group (P < 0.01), while the level of ceramide was increased (P < 0.05) and the activity of protein phosphatase 2A was significantly upregulated (P < 0.01). To conclude, C2 ceramide can attenuate the neurotoxic effects induced by oligomerized α-Syn by the phosphorylation modification environment of α-Syn in mouse midbrain tissue and protect against the reduction in the number of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons in mice, thereby reducing the degree of dyskinesia in Parkinson’s disease.
