Abstract |
Background |
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder in the world. In addition to motor symptoms, a variety of non-motor symptoms seriously affect the life quality of PD patients. Baicalein, a flavonoid extracted from the herb Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, exhibits anti-PD activity through alleviation of its motor symptoms. However, its effects on non-motor symptoms were barely reported. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of baicalein on PD-related depression.
Methods |
After a 2-week injection of rotenone, mice with PD-related depression behavior were selected, divided into three groups, and administrated saline, baicalein, or madopar orally for four weeks. Behavior, neuroinflammation, neurotransmitters, and synaptic plasticity were evaluated.
Results |
Our results showed that 4-week baicalein treatment significantly alleviated the depression-like behavior in the rotenone-induced mice model. Repeated baicalein treatment reduced α-synuclein aggregation, inhibited neuroinflammation, and maintained neurotransmitters homeostasis. Moreover, we found that baicalein treatment could remarkably protect the synaptic plasticity and activate the BDNF/TrkB/CREB pathway in the PD-related depression mice model. As traditional dopamine replacement therapy unleashed few effects on depression-like symptom amelioration and synaptic function protection, baicalein might be a more appropriate choice for PD-related depression.
Conclusions |
The current results suggested that baicalein could act as a treatment for PD-related depression.
