Several neurodegenerative diseases, such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease, are linked to alterations in myelin content or structure. Transmembrane receptors such as integrins could be involved in these alterations. In the present study, we investigated the role of αv-integrins in experimental models of neuroinflammation and demyelination with the use of lebecetin (LCT), a C-lectin protein purified from Macrovipera lebetina viper venom, as an αv-integrin modulator. In a model of neuroinflammation, LCT inhibited the upregulation of αv, β3, β5, α5, and β1 integrins, as well as the associated release of pro-inflammatory factor IL-6 and chemokine CXCL-10, and decreased the expression of phosphorylated NfκB. The subsequent "indirect culture" between reactive astrocytes and oligodendrocytes showed a down-regulation of αv and β3 integrins versus upregulation of β1 one, accompanied by a reduced expression of myelin basic protein (MBP). Treatment of oligodendrocytes with LCT rectified the changes in integrin and MBP expression. Through Western blot quantification, LCT was shown to upregulate the expression levels of PI3K and p-mTOR while downregulating expression levels of p-AKT in oligodendrocytes, suggesting the neuroprotective and pro-myelinating effects of LCT may be related to the PI3K/mTor/AKT pathway. Concomitantly, we found that LCT promoted remyelination by tracking the increased expression of MBP in the brains of cuprizone-intoxicated mice. These results point to an involvement of integrins in not only neuroinflammation but demyelination as well. Thus, targeting αv integrins could offer potential therapeutic avenues for the treatment of demyelinating diseases.
