Tiivistelmä: Abstract
Kautta maailman huumeena käytetty psykostomulantti on metyyli-amfetamiini (meth) . Siitä on alkanut kertyä vakavaa tietoa: se aiheuttaa aivovauriota. Muutama harva tutkija on raportoinut myös demyelinisoitumisesta ( siis hermoston eristävän kaapeliaineksen heikentymisestä.
Tässä artikkelissa tiedotetaan että tioredoxiini-1/Trx-1 ( kehon redox-järjestelmään kuuluva proteiini) pystyy suojelemaan hermosoluja eri stressitiloissa. Mutta siitä ei ole aiemmin selvitetty, voisiko, se ehkä vastavaikuttaa myös metamfetamiinin aiheuttamaan demyelinoitumiseen.
- Methamphetamine (METH) is a psychostimulant abused around the world. Emerging evidence indicates that METH causes brain damage. However, there are very few reports on METH-induced demyelination. Thioredoxin-1 (Trx-1) is a redox regulating protein and plays the roles in protecting neurons from various stresses. However, whether Trx-1 resists demyelination induced by METH has not been reported.
Myeliiniproteiineja ovat MAG ( myeliiniin assosioituva glykoproteiini) ja MBP ( myeliinin emäksinen proteiini). Niiden esiintymä vähenee metamfetamiinista, samoin väheni kinaasientsyymi CDK5. Mutta näitä muutoksia blokeerasi Trx-1 hiirissä.
- In this study, we found that METH-induced thin myelin sheaths in spinal cord, whereas Trx-1 overexpression transgenic (TG) mice restored the myelin sheaths thickness. The expressions of myelin-associated glycoprotein, myelin basic protein, and cyclin-dependent kinase 5 were decreased by METH, whereas these alterations were blocked in Trx-1 TG mice.
- The expressions of procaspase-12 and procaspase-3 were decreased by METH, the expression of calpain1 was increased by METH, whereas the alterations were suppressed in Trx-1 TG mice. As same as, the expressions of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase, nuclear factor κB, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interleukin-1beta were induced by METH, which were suppressed in Trx-1 TG mice.
- These data suggest that Trx-1 may play a critical role in resisting the METH-mediated demyelination in spinal cord through regulating endoplasmic reticulum stress and inflammation pathways.
