In the present study, the effect of donepezil hydrochloride was studied on the transgenic expressing human amyloid beta-42 in the neurons.
Donepezil hydrochloride at final concentration of 0.1, 1 and 10 mM was mixed in the diet and the flies expressing human amyloid beta-42 under Upstream Activation Sequence control (Alzheimer Disease [AD] flies) were allowed to feed on it for 30 days.
The AD flies exposed to various doses of Donepezil hydrochloride showed a dose dependent significant delay in the loss of climbing ability, increase in activity, reduction in the oxidative stress and apoptotic markers. A significant improvement was also observed in cognitive parameters. A dose dependent significant reduction in the activity of acetylcholinesterase was also observed. The docking studies suggest the positive interaction between donepezil, amyloid beta-42 and acetylcholinesterase. The results obtained from immunohistochemistry also showed a dose dependent significant reduction in the amyloid beta-42 aggregates.
The results suggest that donepezil hydrochloride is potent enough to reduce the AD symptoms being mimicked in transgenic flies.
在本研究中,研究了盐酸多奈哌齐对在神经元中表达人淀粉样β-42的转基因果蝇的影响。
将终浓度为0.1、1和10 mM的盐酸多奈哌齐混入食物中,让在上游激活序列控制下表达人淀粉样β-42的果蝇(阿尔茨海默病[AD]果蝇)取食30天。
暴露于不同剂量盐酸多奈哌齐的AD果蝇在攀爬能力丧失方面出现剂量依赖性显著延迟,活动增加,氧化应激和凋亡标志物减少。在认知参数方面也观察到显著改善。还观察到乙酰胆碱酯酶活性呈剂量依赖性显著降低。对接研究表明多奈哌齐、淀粉样β-42和乙酰胆碱酯酶之间存在正向相互作用。免疫组织化学结果也显示淀粉样β-42聚集体呈剂量依赖性显著减少。
结果表明盐酸多奈哌齐有足够的效力减轻转基因果蝇模拟的AD症状。
