DESCUBREN UNA MOLÉCULA QUE ABRE UN CAMINO PARA COMBATIR EL PARKINSON

Compartí

Se trata de un derivado de un conocido antibiótico, que tiene efectos protectores sobre las neuronas que se ven afectadas por la enfermedad. Fue desarrollada entre un instituto de Tucumán y uno de París. Si bien se trata de un estudio in vitro genera buenas expectativas.

Un grupo de investigadores del Conicet de Tucumán demostró en estudios in vitro que un derivado de un conocido antibiótico, la tetraciclina demeclociclina (DMC), tiene efectos protectores sobre las neuronas que se ven afectadas en la enfermedad de Parkinson (EP), lo que sienta las bases para avanzar a estudios preclínicos para comprobar si puede evitar la muerte de estas células y, de ese modo, detener la progresión de la patología que afecta al 1% de la población mayor a 65 años.

Se trata de una molécula desarrollada entre el Instituto de Investigación en Medicina Molecular y Celular Aplicada (IMMCA, Conicet-UNT-Siprosa), con base en Tucumán, y el Instituto del Cerebro de París (Francia), cuya investigación fue publicada recientemente en la prestigiosa revista Cells.

«De acuerdo a la literatura científica y a resultados de trabajos previos que realizamos con el grupo de investigación, sabíamos que hay algunas tetraciclinas (antibióticos que se usan para varias enfermedades) que tienen capacidades neuroprotectoras, lo que serviría para un uso potencial tanto para Parkinson como para Alzheimer que son las dos enfermedades que estamos investigando», explicó a Télam Rodrigo Tomas-Grau, coautor del estudio y becario posdoctoral del Conicet en IMMCA.

«Lo que nosotros hicimos junto al Instituto del Cerebro de París (Francia) fue sintetizar una nueva molécula a partir de la demeclociclina que no tiene capacidad antibiótica»

«En ese contexto había un trabajo con demeclociclina que demostraba que esta molécula impedía que la proteína alfa-sinucleína (aS) -presente en unas células cerebrales llamadas dopaminérgicas- comience a agregarse de forma tóxica, que es lo que puede desencadenar el Parkinson, o sea que interfería en ese proceso».

Tomas-Grau explicó que «el problema es que las enfermedades como Parkinson y Alzheimer son enfermedades crónicas y progresivas, entonces no se puede medicar con antibióticos de por vida ya que conllevaría a otro problema que sería la resistencia a esos antibióticos».

«Lo que nosotros hicimos junto al Instituto del Cerebro de París (Francia) fue sintetizar una nueva molécula a partir de la demeclociclina que no tiene capacidad antibiótica, es decir que le modificamos un par de cosas de su estructura química para quitarle esa capacidad», describió.

Una vez que se obtuvo esa nueva molécula realizaron pruebas para ver si mantenía su capacidad neuroprotectora y descubrieron que no sólo continuaba esa propiedad, sino que era mejor aún que la demeclociclina original con capacidad antibiótica.

Además de interferir en la función tóxica de la proteína alfa-sinucleína (aS), las y los investigadores comprobaron en el instituto parisino que la molécula de demeclociclina que había creado tenía efectos antiinflamatorios sobre la neuronas que habían sido afectadas por la toxicidad de la proteína.

Florencia González Lizárraga, becaria posdoctoral del IMMCA y la otra coautora de este descubrimiento, señaló -por su parte- que el nuevo trabajo forma parte de un «ambicioso proyecto de investigación» financiado por la Agencia Nacional de Promoción Científica (ANPCyT), y que contó con un subsidio de la Asociación France Parkinson.

Los investigadores destacaron que los resultados sugieren que esta molécula puede ser una candidata prometedora como fármaco para el desarrollo de estudios preclínicos de la enfermedad de Parkinson en modelos animales.

Consultado sobre los siguientes pasos, Tomas-Grau señaló que «ésta es la primera fase, que es el desarrollo de la molécula y su prueba en tubos de ensayo y con células; con esta evidencia, el próximo paso sería comenzar a probar en modelos animales, esto es ratones transgénicos que poseen características de la enfermedad, lo que se llaman estudios pre-clínicos, para comprobar eficacia y seguridad».

Los resultados sugieren que esta molécula puede ser una candidata prometedora como fármaco para el desarrollo de estudios preclínicos de la enfermedad de Parkinson en modelos animales.

«Sólo después de haber sorteado exitosamente muchos de estos ensayos en organismos modelo de la enfermedad, podría ser candidata para ensayos en humanos. El camino es largo, pero dada la abundante evidencia del efecto neuroprotector de tetraciclinas, creemos que justifica seguir trabajando en esta dirección», indicó Tomas-Grau, quien también indicó que «más allá de este desarrollo seguimos en la búsqueda de nuevas moléculas; estamos haciendo el mismo camino con otras tres y estamos muy avanzados. Esta es una rueda de síntesis de nuevas moléculas que se van presentando al mundo para desarrollar estudios específicos y llegar a nuevos fármacos».

El estudio fue liderado por Rosana Chehín, doctora en Bioquímica e investigadora del Conicet en el IMMCA, y Bruno Figadère, de la Universidad de Paris-Sud Saclay, en Francia; también integran el grupo la doctora Raisman Vozari y Michael Patrick, quienes fueron clave en la articulación con Francia.

La Enfermedad de Parkinson fue descripta y caracterizada hace más de 200 años; sin embargo, al día de hoy no existe un fármaco capaz de detener o siquiera enlentecer el proceso de muerte neuronal, solamente están disponibles los de carácter paliativo que actúan aliviando los síntomas de la enfermedad.

Se trata de una afección degenerativa del cerebro asociada a síntomas motores (lentitud de movimientos, temblores, rigidez y desequilibrio) y a otras complicaciones como el deterioro cognitivo, los trastornos mentales, del sueño, el dolor y alteraciones sensoriales.

A nivel mundial, la discapacidad y las defunciones debidas a la enfermedad de Parkinson están aumentando más rápidamente que las de cualquier otro trastorno neurológico.

Según informó la Organización Mundial de la Salud, la prevalencia de la enfermedad de Parkinson se ha duplicado en los últimos 25 años y se estima que para 2030 podría volver a duplicarse.

  134. In accordance with my observation, after a in foreclosure home is marketed at a bidding, it is common for the borrower to still have some sort ofthat remaining unpaid debt on the personal loan. There are many creditors who seek to have all charges and liens paid off by the subsequent buyer. However, depending on particular programs, rules, and state guidelines there may be a few loans that aren’t easily fixed through the exchange of lending products. Therefore, the obligation still lies on the borrower that has got his or her property in foreclosure. Thank you sharing your opinions on this site.

  135. I’ve learned many important things through your post. I’d also like to convey that there will be a situation in which you will apply for a loan and do not need a cosigner such as a Fed Student Support Loan. But if you are getting a borrowing arrangement through a standard lender then you need to be willing to have a cosigner ready to allow you to. The lenders will probably base any decision on the few issues but the most important will be your credit standing. There are some financial institutions that will additionally look at your work history and come to a decision based on this but in many instances it will hinge on your score.

  137. Heya i am for the primary time here. I found this board and I to find It really useful & it helped me out a lot. I’m hoping to provide something back and aid others such as you helped me.

  138. Hi! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog. Is it hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Appreciate it

  139. I’ve been absent for some time, but now I remember why I used to love this website. Thanks , I?ll try and check back more often. How frequently you update your site?

  140. I have seen a great deal of useful things on your internet site about computer systems. However, I’ve got the opinion that netbooks are still not quite powerful sufficiently to be a good choice if you normally do things that require lots of power, for instance video modifying. But for internet surfing, word processing, and the majority of other prevalent computer functions they are just great, provided you can’t mind the tiny screen size. Appreciate sharing your opinions.

  143. I know of the fact that currently, more and more people are increasingly being attracted to video cameras and the industry of pictures. However, really being a photographer, you must first shell out so much time period deciding the model of digital camera to buy and also moving from store to store just so you could possibly buy the cheapest camera of the trademark you have decided to choose. But it isn’t going to end generally there. You also have to take into consideration whether you should buy a digital photographic camera extended warranty. Thanks a bunch for the good ideas I obtained from your blog.

  144. Thanks for the strategies presented. One thing I additionally believe is that often credit cards supplying a 0 interest rate often appeal to consumers along with zero rate of interest, instant acceptance and easy on the net balance transfers, nevertheless beware of the number one factor that can void your current 0 easy street annual percentage rate and also throw anybody out into the very poor house fast.

  145. Another issue is that video gaming has become one of the all-time most important forms of entertainment for people of any age. Kids play video games, and also adults do, too. The XBox 360 is just about the favorite video games systems for folks who love to have a huge variety of video games available to them, and who like to experiment with live with other people all over the world. Thanks for sharing your notions.

  150. Good blog post. Things i would like to bring about is that computer memory ought to be purchased should your computer can’t cope with anything you do along with it. One can put in two RAM memory boards of 1GB each, in particular, but not one of 1GB and one with 2GB. One should look for the maker’s documentation for own PC to be sure what type of memory is necessary.
