In Vivo Functional Assessment of Myelin Repair, Inflammatory Response and Marker Genes Expression under Hesperetin NanoParticles Treatment in Local Demyelination Model
Journal Title: The 2nd Annual Meeting of International Center for Neuroscience Research - Year 2021, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the most inflammatory disease in worldwide. Demyelination and disturbance of action potential conductance are regarded as main signs of MS. Our recent report demonstrated that hesperetin (Hst) as a citrus flavonoid, significantly reduces the demyelination level in optic chiasm of rats. In this study, the effects of nano-Hst on latency of visual signals, demyelination levels, glial activation, and expression of Olig2 and MBP were evaluated in lysolecithin (LPC)-induced demyelination model. Focal demyelination was induced by injection of LPC (1%, 2 mu L) into the rat optic chiasm. Animals received oral administration of nano-Hst at dose of 20 mg/kg for 14 or 21 days post LPC injection. Visual evoked potential (VEP) recording showed that nano-Hst reduces the latency of visual signals and ameliorates the extent of demyelination areas and glial activation. Expression levels of the Olig2 and MBP were also significantly increased in nano-Hst treated rats. Overall, our data suggest that nano-Hst reduces the latency of visual signals through its protective effects on myelin sheath, amelioration of glial activation, and enhancement of endogenous remyelination.
