To explore the neuroprotective effect of acteoside (ACT) on mouse model of MPTP-induced Parkinson's disease (PD) and its mechanism.
The PD mouse model was established by intraperitoneal injection of MPTP. The experimental mice were randomly divided into control group, model group and ACT group (100 mg·kg-1), which were administrated by gavage for 14 d. After administration, behavioral evaluation and biochemical detection were performed to evaluate the neuroprotective effect of ACT on PD mice. Two-dimensional electrophoresis, mass spectrometry and Western blot were used to further explore the anti-PD mechanism of ACT.
After prophylactic administration of ACT, the pole climbing time of MPTP-induced PD mice was significantly shortened, swimming test score was improved, suspension duration was prolonged, and hind limb tension test score and cylinder test score were decreased. ACT could effectively improve the activities of SOD, CAT, and GSH-Px in the substantia nigra and striatum of MPTP-induced PD mice and reduce the content of MDA. The results of two-dimensional electrophoresis and Western blot showed that the expression of biliverdin reductase B (BLVRB) increased in the substantia nigra and striatum of PD mice induced by MPTP, while the expression of BLVRB decreased significantly after the administration of ACT.
ACT has neuroprotective effect on MPTP-induced PD mice, and its underlying mechanism may be related to the decrease of BLVRB expression and anti-oxidative stress of ACT.
