多麩醯胺(PolyQ)介導的神經退行性疾病是由各種蛋白質的多麩醯胺擴增引起的。而脊髓小腦萎縮症第十七型(SCA 17)是由TATA盒結合蛋白(TATA box-binding protein, TBP)基因中CAG / CAA重複擴增引起的多麩醯胺疾病。銀杏葉提取物EGb 761含有黃酮和萜類化合物,可用於治療神經退化性疾病如阿茲海默氏症與帕金森氏病。雖然EGb 761的神經保護作用的功能已經被證實,但是EGb 761對於治療SCA 17是否具有效果則尚不清楚。為解決此一問題,我們利用表達TBP/79Q的SH-SY5Y細胞,以及具有人類突變型TBP基因的SCA17轉基因小鼠進行實驗。我們的研究成果發現利用EGb 761處理TBP/79Q-SH-SY5Y細胞後,細胞內十二烷基硫酸鈉不溶性蛋白質的含量會明顯減少;我們進一步發現,EGb 761處理可以抑制TBP/79Q-SH-SY5Y細胞的興奮性毒性以及鈣離子流入,並且降低經麩醯胺酸鹽處理SH-SY5Y神經母細胞瘤細胞的細胞凋亡標誌物表達。活體實驗中,我們每天利用腹腔內注射EGb 761(100 mg/kg)給予SCA 17轉基因小鼠,實驗結果發現EGb761可以有效緩解SCA 17轉基因小鼠的運動缺陷。由上述研究結果提供證據證實利用SCA 17的細胞與轉基因小鼠模型,EGb 761可以通過抑制神經細胞的興奮性毒性和細胞凋亡來達到治療SCA 17的效果。為此,我們認為EGb 761可能是有效治療SCA 17的潛在治療藥物。除罕見的遺傳性SCA 17外,阿茲海默氏症(AD)是最常見的神經退化性疾病,AD特徵在於受影響腦區域中形成澱粉樣蛋白-β肽的胞外斑塊,以及細胞內微管相關蛋白tau因為過度磷酸化聚集形成的神經原纖維纏結。在本研究中,我們探討X蛋白質對於乙型類澱粉蛋白聚合的影響,我們也發現綠茶內的其中一種茶多酚,Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) 能抑制X蛋白質對於乙型類澱粉蛋白的聚合作用,亦能增加細胞存活率。此外經過EGCG處理的三重轉基因AD小鼠(h-APPSwe,h-tauP301L和h-PS1M146V),通過Morris水迷宮、Y迷宮和新穎的對象識別的動物行為測試實驗,發現轉基因AD小鼠的記憶學習均獲得顯著的改善。因此,我們認為EGCG可能透過抑制X蛋白質而有效治療AD的多功能潛在治療藥物。
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 17 (SCA 17) is a polyglutamine disease caused by the expansion of CAG/CAA repeats (> 43 repeats) in the TATA box-binding protein (TBP) gene. The Ginkgo biloba extracts EGb 761 contain flavonoids and terpenoids with a potential use for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease, but whether the EGb 761 has therapeutic effects in SCA 17 are still unclear. To investigate our issues, we have generated TBP/79Q-expressing SH-SY5Y cells, and SCA 17 transgenic mice with the mutant hTBP gene. In vitro experiment, we observed that the EGb 761 treatment decreased the amount of sodium dodecyl sulfate-insoluble proteins in the TBP/79Q-expressing SH-SY5Y cells. We further found that the EGb 761 treatment could inhibit excitotoxicity and calcium influx, and reduce the expression of apoptotic markers in glutamate-treated SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. In vivo experiment, we observed that the EGb 761 treatment (100 mg/kg intraperitoneally injection every other day) could relieve the motor deficiencies of the SCA 17 transgenic mice. Our findings provide evidence that the EGb 761 treatment can remedy for SCA 17 via suppressing excitotoxicity and apoptosis in SCA 17 cells and animal models. Therefore, it indicates that EGb 761 could be a potential therapeutic agent for treating SCA 17.
Apart from rare inherited SCA 17, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease and characterized by the formation extracellular plaques of the amyloid-β peptide and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles of hyperphosphorylated aggregates of microtubule-associated protein tau in affected brain regions. We examined the effects of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on Aβ oliogmerization induced by protein X, and found that EGCG attenuated amyloidogenic pathway promoted by protein X. EGCG also increased the cell viability after Aβ treatment in SH-SY5Y/protein X cells. Furthermore, EGCG treatment improved the performance of triple transgenic AD mice (h-APPswe, h-TauP301L, and h-PS1M146V) in the Morris water maze, Y maze and novel object recognition test. Collectively, these results suggest that EGCG could be a promising multifunctional drug candidate for AD by inhibiting protein X.
