キーワード | MPTP / COA-Cl / Nicotine / Ethanol / Striatum / ethanol / dopamine loss / MPTP-treated mice |
研究開始時の研究の概要 |
Nicotine and ethanol (EtOH) are often consumed together and produce an additive increase in dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens. COA-Cl has recently been shown to increase dopamine levels and to exert neuroprotective effects both in vivo and in vitro. Thus, the present study is aimed to investigate whether a combination of COA-Cl, EtOH and/or nicotine exerts additive neuroprotective effects against MPTP-induced neurotoxicity, and to identify its underlying mechanisms, with a focus on apoptosis.

研究実績の概要 |
Previously, local perfusion of COA-Cl (0.05-1.0 mM) produced a significant and dose-dependent increase in dopamine (DA) levels, with the highest dose of 1.0 mM COA-Cl producing an approximately 5-fold increase in DA. Additionally, we showed that COA-Cl significantly enhanced DA release by 3.0 to 5.0-fold, accompanied by an increase in tyrosine hydroxylase at Ser31 and Ser40. Here, we utilized 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced mouse models of Parkinson’s disease to explore whether COA-Cl could reverse the loss of DA caused by MPTP in the dorsal striatum. Preliminary data revealed that COA-Cl restored DA levels, suggesting its potential restorative effects on DA depletion in mouse striatum.

理由
We aim to examine the effects of COA-Cl (0.05, 0.1, or 4.0 mM) combined with nicotine and/or ethanol on extracellular levels of DA and tyrosine hydroxylase phosphorylation in the dorsal striatum of MPTP-induced mouse model of PD. The rationale for this study is to investigate the role of COA-Cl alone or in combination with nicotine or ethanol in restoring dopamine function in the brain.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
These studies are currently underway to explore the potential synergistic effects of combining COA-Cl with nicotine and or ethanol in restoring DA function in mouse models of PD.
