Abstract
Parkinson's is the most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's. Motor findings in Parkinson's occur as a result of the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons starting in the substantia nigra pars compacta and ending in the putamen and caudate nucleus. Loss of neurons and the formation of inclusions called Lewy bodies in existing neurons are characteristic histopathological findings of Parkinson's. The disease primarily impairs the functional capacity of the person with cardinal findings such as tremor, bradykinesia, etc., as a result of the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Experimental animal models of Parkinson's have been used extensively in recent years to investigate the pathology of this disease. These models are generally based on systemic or local(intracerebral) administration of neurotoxins, which can replicate many features of Parkinson's mammals. The development of transgenic models in recent years has allowed us to learn more about the modeling of Parkinson's. Applying animal modeling, which shows the most human-like effects in studies, is extremely important. It has been demonstrated that oxidative stress increases in many neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and various age-related degenerative diseases in humans and that neurons are sensitive to it. In cases where oxidative stress increases and antioxidant systems are inadequate, natural molecules such as flavonoids and polyphenols can be used as a new antioxidant treatment to reduce neuronal reactive oxygen species and improve the neurodegenerative process. Therefore, in this article, we examined experimental animal modeling in Parkinson's disease and the effect of green chemistry approaches on Parkinson's disease.

Antioxidant responses driven by Hesperetin and Hesperidin counteract Parkinson's disease-like phenotypes in Drosophila melanogaster. Neurotoxicology 2024; 101:117-127. [PMID: 38423185 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuro.2024.02.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Revised: 02/05/2024] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024]
Abstract
The study investigated the protective effects of Hesperetin (HSP) and Hesperidin (HSD) on 1 methyl, 4 phenyl, 1,2,3,6 tetrahydropyridine hydrochloride (MPTP)-induced Parkinsonism in Drosophila melanogaster (D. melanogaster). After a lifespan study to select exposure time and concentrations, flies were co-exposed to MPTP (0.4 mg/g diet), Hesperetin (0.2 and 0.4 mg/g diet), and Hesperidin (0.1 and 0.4 mg/g) for 7 days. In addition to in vivo parameters, we assayed some markers of oxidative stress and antioxidant status (lipid peroxidation, protein carbonylation, thiol content, hydrogen peroxide, and nitrate/nitrite levels, mRNA expression of Keap-1 (Kelch-like ECH associated protein 1), /Nrf2 (Nuclear factor erythroid 2 related factor 2), catalase, and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activities), and cholinergic (acetyl cholinesterase activity (AChE) and dopaminergic signaling content and the mRNA expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), monoamine oxidase (MAO-like) activity). In addition to increasing the lifespan of flies, we found that both flavonoids counteracted the adverse effects of MPTP on survival, offspring emergence, and climbing ability of flies. Both flavonoids also reduced the oxidative damage on lipids and proteins and reestablished the basal levels of pro-oxidant species and activities of antioxidant enzymes in MPTP-exposed flies. These responses were accompanied by the normalization of the mRNA expression of Keap1/Nrf2 disrupted in flies exposed to MPTP. MPTP exposure also elicited changes in mRNA expression and content of TH as well as in MAO and AChE activity, which were reversed by HST and HSD. By efficiently hindering the oxidative stress in MPTP-exposed flies, our findings support the promising role of Hesperetin and Hesperidin as adjuvant therapy to manage Parkinsonism induced by chemicals such as MPTP.

Abstract
AIMS Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is associated with systemic iron deficiency and has been managed with iron supplements which cause adverse side effects. Conversely, some reports highlight iron depletion to ameliorate IBD. The underlying intestinal response and comparative benefit of iron depletion and supplementation in IBD is unknown. The aims of this work were to characterize and compare the effects of iron supplementation and iron depletion in IBD. MAIN METHODS IBD was induced in Drosophila melanogaster using 3 % dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) in diet for 7 days. Using this model, we investigated the impacts of acute iron depletion (using bathophenanthroline disulfonate, BPS) and supplementation (using ferrous sulphate, FS), before and after IBD induction, on gut iron homeostasis, cell death, gut permeability, inflammation, antioxidant defence, antimicrobial response and several fly phenotypes. KEY FINDINGS DSS decreased fly mass (p < 0.001), increased gut permeability (p < 0.001) and shortened lifespan (p = 0.035) compared to control. The DSS-fed flies also showed significantly elevated lipid peroxidation (p < 0.001), and the upregulated expression of apoptotic marker- drice (p < 0.001), tight junction protein - bbg (p < 0.001), antimicrobial peptide - dpta (p = 0.002) and proinflammatory cytokine - upd2 (p < 0.001). BPS significantly (p < 0.05) increased fly mass and lifespan, decreased gut permeability, decreased lipid peroxidation and decreased levels of drice, bbg, dpta and upd2 in IBD flies. This iron chelation (using BPS) showed better protection from DSS-induced IBD than iron supplementation (using FS). Preventive and curative interventions, by BPS or FS, also differed in outcomes. SIGNIFICANCE This may inform precise management strategies aimed at tackling IBD and its recurrence.

Abstract
Drosophila melanogaster is a valuable model organism for a wide range of biological exploration. The well-known advantages of D. melanogaster include its relatively simple biology, the ease with which it is genetically modified, the relatively low financial and time costs associated with their short gestation and life cycles, and the large number of offspring they produce per generation. D. melanogaster has facilitated the discovery of many significant insights into the pathology of Parkinson's disease (PD) and has served as an excellent preclinical model of PD-related therapeutic discovery. In this review, we provide an overview of the major D. melanogaster models of PD, each of which provide unique insights into PD-relevant pathology and therapeutic targets. These models are discussed in the context of their past, current, and future potential use for studying the utility of secondary metabolites as therapeutic agents in PD. Over the last decade, senolytics have garnered an exponential interest in their ability to mitigate a broad spectrum of diseases, including PD. Therefore, an emphasis is placed on the senolytic and senomorphic properties of secondary metabolites. It is expected that D. melanogaster will continue to be critical in the effort to understand and improve treatment of PD, including their involvement in translational studies focused on secondary metabolites.

Abstract
The current study aimed to investigate whether kaempferol (KMP), the major bioactive component of green leafy vegetables, could counteract the toxicity elicited by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) in Drosophila melanogaster or not. First, we performed a dose-response curve, where adult wild-type flies were fed on diet-containing different concentrations of KMP throughout their lifespan. Afterward, flies were fed on a diet containing MPTP (500 μM) and KMP (20 and 40 μM) for 7 days. The MPTP- fed flies presented a higher mortality rate, lower emergence rate, locomotor deficits, and disruption in circadian rhythm when compared to the control. MPTP exposure induced severe oxidative stress, which was marked by reduction in thiol content, overproduction of reactive species, lipid and protein oxidation, and disruption of enzymes of antioxidant and neurotransmission pathways. MPTP also compromised the mitochondrial dynamics and respiration of flies, affecting the electron transport chain, oxidative phosphorylation, and fusion/fission processes. Besides extending per se the lifespan of flies, KMP counteracted the toxic effects of MPTP on the circadian cycle, survival, climbing, and hatching rates. KMP was also effective in restoring the activities of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and monoamine oxidase (MAO) enzymes, as well as in normalizing the levels of all oxidant/antioxidant markers disrupted in MPTP-fed flies. Indeed, KMP reestablished the mitochondrial functionality in MPTP- fed flies, restoring the electron transport system linked to mitochondrial complex I and II, and rescuing the mRNA transcription of genes associated with mitochondrial fusion and fission, namely OPA-1 (Optic atrophy 1) and DRP-1 (Dynamin related protein 1). Our results showed the efficacy of KMP in hindering the toxicity induced by MPTP in D. melanogaster and suggest that the mitoprotective action of flavonoid may be boosting its anti-parkinsonism activity in the model. Besides, the study showed that wild-type strains of D. melanogaster proved to be reproducible in vivo model to mimic parkinsonian phenotypes through exposure to the neurotoxin MPTP.

Preparation and in vitro evaluation of hesperidin nanoparticles by antisolvent recrystallization in a double homogenate system. Food Chem X 2023; 18:100639. [PMID: 37008721 PMCID: PMC10060592 DOI: 10.1016/j.fochx.2023.100639] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2022] [Revised: 03/01/2023] [Accepted: 03/10/2023] [Indexed: 03/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Hesperidin nanoparticles (HNPs) were made for the first time employing an antisolvent recrystallization technique in a double homogenate system with positive and negative clockwise rotation in order to completely use the underutilized nutritional components in citrus peel. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), ethanol, and deionized water were used as the solvents and antisolvents in the hesperidin solution preparation. Hesperidin solution concentration of 60.26 mg/mL, homogenization speed of 8257 rpm, antisolvent-to-solvent volume ratio of 6.93 mL/mL, and homogenization time of 3.15 min were the ideal experimental conditions. HNPs have to be at least 72.24 nm in size. The structures of the produced hesperidin samples and the raw hesperidin powder were identical, according to the findings of the FTIR, XRD, and TG characterization tests. The HNP sample had an in vitro absorption rate that was 5.63 and 4.23 times greater than that of the raw hesperidin powder, respectively. It was discovered that DMSO was more suited than ethanol for creating HNP particles. In the realms of dietary supplements, therapeutic applications, and health promotion, the HNPs produced by the ARDH technology would be a potential formulation on increasing uses for a wider range of nutraceuticals (synergistic).

Abstract
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a serious neurological disorder which might occur in both acute and chronic liver injury. AIMS This study was carried out to explore the protective effects of hesperidin against experimentally induced HE. MAIN METHODS Rats were sorted into four groups each of six; Normal group, TAA group: rats were administered 350 mg/kg of TAA i.p. from day 5 to day 7. TAA+ Hesp 100 group: rats were administered hesperidin 100 mg/kg/day orally for 7 days along with i.p TAA injection 350 mg/kg from day 5 to 7. TAA+ Hesp 200 group: rats were administered hesperidin 200 mg/kg/day orally for 7 days along with i.p TAA injection 350 mg/kg from day 5 to 7. Liver function, oxidative stress biomarkers, behavioral tests in addition to histopathological examination were assessed. KEY FINDINGS Hesperidin efficiently mitigated TAA-induced HE as evidenced by significant reduction in liver enzymes, bile and ammonia levels in serum. Moreover, hesperidin restored oxidant/antioxidant balance as manifested by reduction in MDA content in both cerebral and hepatic tissues. Additionally, hesperidin improved motor and cognitive abilities besides tissues' architecture as demonstrated by behavioral tests and histopathology results, respectively. Hesperidin also decreased levels of NLRP3 and increased levels of Sirt1 and FOXO in both cerebral and hepatic tissues. Finally, hesperidin markedly decreased the expression of IL-1β and caspase-1 as shown by immunohistochemical results. SIGNIFICANCE Taken together, the hepatoprotective impact of hesperidin and its ameliorative effect on the progression of HE appear to be mediated by its modulatory influence on NLRP3/Sirt1/FOXO signaling.

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a severe, incurable, and costly condition leading to heart failure. The link between PD and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is not available, leading to controversies and poor prognosis. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already shown promise for CVD/stroke risk stratification. However, due to a lack of sample size, comorbidity, insufficient validation, clinical examination, and a lack of big data configuration, there have been no well-explained bias-free AI investigations to establish the CVD/Stroke risk stratification in the PD framework. The study has two objectives: (i) to establish a solid link between PD and CVD/stroke; and (ii) to use the AI paradigm to examine a well-defined CVD/stroke risk stratification in the PD framework. The PRISMA search strategy selected 223 studies for CVD/stroke risk, of which 54 and 44 studies were related to the link between PD-CVD, and PD-stroke, respectively, 59 studies for joint PD-CVD-Stroke framework, and 66 studies were only for the early PD diagnosis without CVD/stroke link. Sequential biological links were used for establishing the hypothesis. For AI design, PD risk factors as covariates along with CVD/stroke as the gold standard were used for predicting the CVD/stroke risk. The most fundamental cause of CVD/stroke damage due to PD is cardiac autonomic dysfunction due to neurodegeneration that leads to heart failure and its edema, and this validated our hypothesis. Finally, we present the novel AI solutions for CVD/stroke risk prediction in the PD framework. The study also recommends strategies for removing the bias in AI for CVD/stroke risk prediction using the PD framework.
