中文摘要: 内质网应激(ERS)介导的细胞凋亡参与帕金森病(PD)的发病过程。有报道栀子主要药效成分环烯醚萜类化合物可抑制ERS相关蛋白表达,降低凋亡相关蛋白裂解,有助于神经退行性疾病病变的改善。课题组经临床疗效评价及离体整体实验证实,黄连解毒汤及其组成生药栀子具有调节多巴胺代谢和神经保护作用。由此推测,栀子可能通过干预ERS的自身保护以及过度应激诱发的凋亡机制,发挥其神经保护作用,从而达到防治PD的目的。前期工作将计算机虚拟筛选与体外生物活性评价结合,初步筛选出可抑制MPP+诱导SH-SY5Y细胞凋亡的栀子活性化合物。本项目将以此为突破口,以ERS标志物为靶点,依托计算机虚拟筛选技术,结合药物筛选PD细胞模型和动物模型,以期确定栀子中抑制DA能神经元凋亡的活性成分;进而阐明其针对ERS生存和凋亡途径的细胞保护机制,为进一步开发抗PD的药物提供科学依据和研究思路。

英文摘要: It has been reported that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced apoptosis is involved in the pathology of PD. Recent studies show that iridoids, one of the major active constitutents in Gardenia jasminoides Ellis, reduced the expression of ER stress-associated protein and the cleavage of apoptosis-associated protein. Thus, the agent may be effective for treating neurodegenerative diseases including PD. We have confirmed that Huanglian jiedu decoction (HJD), a traditional Chinese medicine compound recipe, and Gardenia jasminoides Ellis could regulate dopamine (DA) metabolism and possess the neuroprotective effects on neuronal injury according to clinical trials , cell research and animal experiments. Therefore, we hypothesized that Gardenia jasminoides Ellis protects neurons from ER stress response-signaling pathway and may be valuable in treating PD. In our preliminary screening, we identified some of active constitutents that could inhibit MPP+-induced apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells by the means of combined computer-virtual screening and in vitro biological activity evaluation. In this study, first, we predicted the compounds of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis based on computer-virtual screening and then evaluated the neuroprotective effect of active constitutents against ER stress-induced apoptosis in cell culture and animal models of PD. Finally, we investigated the cytoprotection mechanism via ER stress-induced survival and apoptosis. The study aims to provide scientific evidence and ideas for the development of drugs against PD.
