脂氧酶 (LOX) 异酶可以产生可能增加或减少神经发炎和神经退化的产品。基因-环境相互作用研究可以识别LOX异位素特异性效应。使用1-甲基-4-苯-1,2,3,6-四氢皮里丁(MPTP)模型的硝基丙烯损伤在两个LOX异酶缺乏转基因线允许比较LOX异位素对多巴胺完整性和炎症的贡献。
脂氧酶 (LOX) 活动与神经退行性疾病(如阿尔茨海默氏症)有关,但其对帕金森病 (PD) 发病机理的影响鲜为人知。基因-环境相互作用模型在揭开特定细胞通路毒性的影响方面有用,单凭遗传或毒性疾病模型是无法观察到的。要评估是否不同的LOX异位体有选择地有助于PD相关的神经退化,转基因(即 5-LOX和12/15-LOX缺乏)小鼠可以挑战一种毒素,模仿细胞损伤和死亡的紊乱。在这里,我们描述了使用神经毒素,1-甲基-4-苯-1,2,3,6-四氢胆碱(MPTP),它产生一个尼古斯特里亚病变,阐明LOX异位体对与PD相关的神经退化的独特贡献。在小鼠和非人类灵长类动物中使用MPTP是重新概括PD中硝基体损伤的既定证据。MPTP 诱发病变的程度通过 HPLC 对多巴胺及其代谢物的分析以及对酪氨酸羟基酶 (TH) 纹状体的半定量西方污点分析来衡量,该纹状体是多巴胺合成的限速酶。为了评估炎症标记,这可能证明LOX异酶选择性敏感性,胶质纤维酸性蛋白(GFAP)和Iba-1免疫组织化学在含有亚坦蒂亚尼格拉的大脑部分进行,GFAP西斑分析在纹状同源物上进行。这种实验方法可以为基因-环境相互作用提供新的见解,这些相互作用是尼古菌变性和PD的基础。
使用基因-环境相互作用模型提供了一种方法,模仿可能影响特发性帕金森病(PD)的危险因素,并提供了一个机会来辨别机械学的见解,不太可能通过单独使用遗传或毒性系统来阐明1,2。在这里,我们说明了这一点,并描述了应用1-甲基-4-苯-1,2,3,6-四氢皮里丁(MPTP)小鼠模型的硝基质变性3,以更好地了解脂氧酶(LOX)异酶活性的神经发炎和毒性4的选择性。虽然LOX同位素的作用已被广泛评估在外周疾病5,6以及CNS疾病,包括中风7和阿尔茨海默病8,9,同位素家族的作用,在硝基质功能和退化相关的PD是不太清楚的,值得研究。MPTP神经毒素表现出乳胶病原体通路的优先退化,并重新概括了纹状多巴胺耗竭和尼格勒多巴胺细胞损失,这是PD患者10运动损伤的基础。虽然这种模型没有复制非运动和运动PD行为和坦率的α-核素阳性Lewy身体病理学的全干部, 它一直有助于阐明新的机械靶点,有助于尼古斯特菌损伤和早期转化测试,因为它是最好的特征非侵入性模型,可用于可靠地产生硝基细胞死亡伴随着纹状多巴胺损失11-15。广泛使用MPTP小鼠,其范式从急性,亚急性到慢性16-18,已允许标准化的给药,导致轻度至重度硝基层损伤19,20与激活不同的毒性机制,这取决于治疗方案18,21,22。因此,这允许一个”病变窗口”的目标,可能会导致增强或减少硝基质损伤取决于治疗剂或转基因模型使用23-25。
对于转化和发现生物学研究来说,同样必要的是用于评估损伤的技术以及这些方法提供的证据。对于 MPTP 鼠标模型, 评估病变的既定指标是测量纹状多巴胺语气的标记物,包括HPLC的多巴胺及其代谢物,以及西方斑点分析酪氨酸羟基酶(TH),多巴胺合成中的限速酶,以及利用西式污点分析和免疫化学4的胶质活化等退行事件指标。虽然这些是经典的神经化学、生化和组织学程序,但这些技术提供了关于黑鬼多巴明神经通路内损伤程度的关键和可重复读数,表明毒性机制,并被证明是了解PD退行性事件的宝贵工具。
这种基因-环境相互作用研究的设计使我们能够获得关于5-LOX同位素在硝基质通路中的双重性质的新信息。通过执行HPLC测量盐水或MPTP治疗后,缺乏5-LOX异丙胺及其野生类型的垃圾伴侣的转基因药物的纹状单胺,我们能够注意到,其缺乏似乎在有毒条件下是保护性的(图1),但在正常情况下,缺乏酶会降低纹状多巴胺水平,并可能有害。因此,我们能够证明,5-LOX同位素有助于纹状多巴?…
