Abstract:
Past evidence has shown that the exogenous administration of GM1 ganglioside slowed neuronal death in preclinical models of Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive loss of dopamine-producing neurons: however, the physical and chemical properties of GM1 (i.e., amphiphilicity) limited its clinical application, as the crossing of the blood-brain barrier is denied. Recently, we demonstrated that the GM1 oligosaccharide head group (GM1-OS) is the GM1 bioactive portion that, interacting with the TrkA-NGF complex at the membrane surface, promotes the activation of a multivariate network of intracellular events regulating neuronal differentiation, protection, and reparation. Here, we evaluated the GM1-OS neuroprotective potential against the Parkinson's disease-linked neurotoxin MPTP, which destroys dopaminergic neurons by affecting mitochondrial bioenergetics and causing ROS overproduction. In dopaminergic and glutamatergic primary cultures, GM1-OS administration significantly increased neuronal survival, preserved neurite network, and reduced mitochondrial ROS production enhancing the mTOR/Akt/GSK3 beta pathway. These data highlight the neuroprotective efficacy of GM1-OS in parkinsonian models through the implementation of mitochondrial function and reduction in oxidative stress.
