The Prestwick and NIH chemical libraries were screened for drugs that protect baker's yeast from sugar-induced cell death (SICD). SICD is triggered when stationary-phase yeast cells are transferred from spent rich medium into water with 2% glucose and no other nutrients. The rapid, apoptotic cell death occurs because reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulate. We found that triclabendazole, which is used to treat liver flukes in cattle and man, partially protects against SICD. Characterization of triclabendazole revealed that it also protects yeast cells from death induced by the Parkinson's disease-related protein alpha-synuclein (α-syn), which is known to induce the accumulation of ROS.
普雷斯威克和 NIH 化学文库被筛选出能够保护面包酵母免受糖诱导的细胞死亡(SICD)的药物。当静止期酵母细胞从耗尽的丰富培养基转移到含有 2%葡萄糖和没有其他营养物质的水中时,就会触发 SICD。快速的细胞凋亡发生是因为活性氧(ROS)积累。我们发现,三氯苯达唑,用于治疗牛和人类的肝吸虫,部分保护酵母细胞免受与帕金森病相关的蛋白质α-突触核蛋白(α-syn)诱导的 SICD。对三氯苯达唑的特征分析表明,它还可以保护酵母细胞免受帕金森病相关蛋白α-突触核蛋白(α-syn)诱导的死亡,已知α-突触核蛋白会诱导 ROS 的积累。
