    NEXT Neuroprotective Efficacy of Co-Encapsulated Rosiglitazone and Vorinostat Nanoparticle on Streptozotocin Induced Mice Model of Alzheimer Disease
    (ACS, 2021-04) Chitkara, Deepak; Taliyan, Rajeev
    Anomalies in brain insulin signaling have been demonstrated to be involved in the pathology of Alzheimer disease (AD). In this context, the neuroprotective efficacy of an insulin sensitizer, rosiglitazone, has been confirmed in our previous study. In the present study, we hypothesize that a combination of an epigenetic modulator, vorinostat, along with rosiglitazone can impart improved gene expression of neurotrophic factors and attenuate biochemical and cellular alteration associated with AD mainly by loading these drugs in a surface modified nanocarrier system for enhanced bioavailability and enhanced therapeutic efficacy. Hence, in this study, rosiglitazone and vorinostat were loaded onto a poloxamer stabilized polymeric nanocarrier system and administered to mice in the intracerebroventricular streptozotocin (3 mg/kg) induced model of AD. Treatment with the free drug combination (rosiglitazone 5 mg/kg, vorinostat 25 mg/kg) for 3 weeks attenuated the behavioral, biochemical, and cellular alterations as compared to either treatment alone (rosiglitazone 10 mg/kg, vorinostat 50 mg/kg). Further, the coencapsulated nanoformulation (rosiglitazone 5 mg/kg, vorinostat 25 mg/kg) exerted better neuroprotective efficacy than the free drug combination as evidenced by improved behavioral outcome, reduced oxidative stress, and elevated levels of neurotrophic factors. In conclusion, the synergistic neuroprotective efficacy of rosiglitazone and vorinostat has been increased through the poloxamer stabilized polymeric nanocarrier system.

    Epigenetic Regulation of Mammalian Target of Rapamycin Debilitates Insulin Resistance Associated Alzheimer Disease Condition in Rats
    (Research Square, 2021) Taliyan, Rajeev
    Insulin resistance (IR) and accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) oligomers are potential causative factor for Alzheimer Disease (AD). Simultaneously, enhanced clearance level of these oligomers through autophagy activation bring novel insights into their therapeutic paradigm. Autophagy activation is negatively correlated with mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and dysregulated mTOR level due to epigenetic alterations can further culminate towards AD pathogenesis. Therefore, in the current study we explored the neuroprotective efficacy of rapamycin and vorinostat in-vitro and in-vivo. Aβ1−42 treated SH-SY5Y cells were exposed to rapamycin (20µM) and vorinostat (4µM) to analyse mRNA expression of amyloid precursor protein (APP), brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), glial cell derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), neuronal growth factor (NGF), beclin-1, microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3-phosphatidylethanolamine conjugate, lysosome-associated membrane protein 2 and microtubule associated protein 2. In order to develop IR condition, rats were fed a high fat diet (HFD) for 8weeks and then subjected to intracerebroventricular Aβ1−42 administration. Subsequently, their treatment was initiated with rapa (1mg/kg, i.p.) and vori (50mg/kg, i.p.) once daily for 28days. Morris water maze was performed to govern cognitive impairment followed by sacrification for subsequent biochemical and histological estimations. For all the measured parameters, a significant improvement was observed amongst the combination treatment group in contrast to that of the HFD + Aβ1−42 group and that of the groups treated with the drugs alone. Outcomes of the present study thus suggest that combination therapy with rapa and vori provide a prospective therapeutic approach to ameliorate AD symptoms exacerbated by IR.

    Epigenetic regulation and autophagy modulation debilitates insulin resistance associated Alzheimer’s disease condition in rats
    (Springer, 2022-01) Taliyan, Rajeev; Marathe, Sandhya
    Insulin resistance (IR) and accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) oligomers are potential causative factor for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Simultaneously, enhanced clearance level of these oligomers through autophagy activation bring novel insights into their therapeutic paradigm. Autophagy activation is negatively correlated with mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and dysregulated mTOR level due to epigenetic alterations can further culminate towards AD pathogenesis. Therefore, in the current study we explored the neuroprotective efficacy of rapamycin (rapa) and vorinostat (vori) in-vitro and in-vivo. Aβ1–42 treated SH-SY5Y cells were exposed to rapa (20 μM) and vori (4 μM) to analyse mRNA expression of amyloid precursor protein (APP), brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), glial cell derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), neuronal growth factor (NGF), beclin-1, microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3-phosphatidylethanolamine conjugate (LC3), lysosome-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP2) and microtubule associated protein 2 (MAP2). In order to develop IR condition, rats were fed a high fat diet (HFD) for 8 weeks and then subjected to intracerebroventricular Aβ1–42 administration. Subsequently, their treatment was initiated with rapa (1 mg/kg, i.p.) and vori (50 mg/kg, i.p.) once daily for 28 days. Morris water maze was performed to govern cognitive impairment followed by sacrification for subsequent mRNA, biochemical, western blot and histological estimations. For all the measured parameters, a significant improvement was observed amongst the combination treatment group in contrast to that of the HFD + Aβ1–42 group and that of the groups treated with the drugs alone. Outcomes of the present study thus suggest that combination therapy with rapa and vori provide a prospective therapeutic approach to ameliorate AD symptoms exacerbated by IR.

    Brain insulin resistance linked Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease pathology: An undying implication of epigenetic and autophagy modulation
    (Springer, 2023-03) Taliyan, Rajeev
    In metabolic syndrome, dysregulated signalling activity of the insulin receptor pathway in the brain due to persistent insulin resistance (IR) condition in the periphery may lead to brain IR (BIR) development. BIR causes an upsurge in the activity of glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta, increased amyloid beta (Aβ) accumulation, hyperphosphorylation of tau, aggravated formation of Aβ oligomers and simultaneously neurofibrillary tangle formation, all of which are believed to be direct contributors in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) pathology. Likewise, for Parkinson’s Disease (PD), BIR is associated with alpha-synuclein alterations, dopamine loss in brain areas which ultimately succumbs towards the appearance of classical motor symptoms corresponding to the typical PD phenotype. Modulation of the autophagy process for clearing misfolded proteins and alteration in histone proteins to alleviate disease progression in BIR-linked AD and PD have recently evolved as a research hotspot, as the majority of the autophagy-related proteins are believed to be regulated by histone posttranslational modifications. Hence, this review will provide a timely update on the possible mechanism(s) converging towards BIR induce AD and PD. Further, emphasis on the potential epigenetic regulation of autophagy that can be effectively targeted for devising a complete therapeutic cure for BIR-induced AD and PD will also be reviewed.
