Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra (SN) and aggregation of α-synuclein (α-syn). Current PD therapies merely provide symptomatic relief, lacking the disease-modifying therapeutic strategies against that could reverse the ongoing neurodegeneration. In the quest of exploring novel disease modifying therapeutic strategies, compounds from natural sources have gained much attention in recent days. YIAEDAER (Tyr-Ile-Ala-Glu-Asp-Ala-Glu-Arg) peptide is a multi-functional peptide isolated and purified from the visceral mass extract of Neptunea arthritica cumingii (NAC) with plethora of pharmacological activities, however its neuroprotective effect against MPTP induced PD model is not yet reported. We found YIAEDAER peptide co-treatment could suppressed the MPTP-induced locomotor impairment in zebrafish, ameliorates the MPTP induced degeneration of DA neurons, inhibited the loss of vasculature and loss of cerebral vessels, suppressed α-syn levels. Moreover, YIAEDAER peptide modulates several genes related to autophagy (α-syn, pink1, parkin, atg5, atg7, beclin1, ulk1b, ulk2, and ambra1a), and oxidative stress (sod1, sod2, gss, gpx4a, gsto2, and cat). Hence, our finding suggests that YIAEDAER peptide might be a potential therapeutic candidate against MPTP-induced PD like condition.
