Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, involving resting tremor and bradykinesia, for which no recognized therapies or drugs are available to halt or slow progression. In recent years, natural botanic products have been considered relatively safe, with limited side effects, and are expected to become an important source for clinical mediation of PD in the future. Our study focuses on the ability of loganin, a compound derived from fruits of cornus, to mediate neuroprotection in a mouse model of PD. Mice were administered 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) with a dosage of 30mg/kg daily for 5 d to establish a subacute PD model and treated with loganin. Locomotor activity was assessed by a pole test, then mice were euthanized at 1 and 3 d after the last treatment, and brain tissue was prepared for subsequent assays. Loganin rescued decrease of dopamine levels and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) expression in the striatum, and shortened total locomotor activity (TLA) time of mice. Furthermore, loganin alleviated microglia and astrocyte activation, and suppressed TNF-α and caspase-3 expression through a c-Abl-p38-NFκB pathway. Loganin also downregulated LC3-II and Drp1 expression, and decreased the level of acidic vesicular organelles (AVOs). Loganin exerts neuroprotective effects on MPTP-induced PD mice by decreasing inflammation, autophagy and apoptosis, suggesting that loganin could serve as a therapeutic drug to ameliorate PD.
