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.

  28. 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.

  29. 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.

  30. 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.

  33. 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.

  34. 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.

  35. 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.

  36. 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.

Thanks for sharing your notions.

  37. 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.

  38. Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!

  40. Thanks for your write-up. One other thing is that individual American states have their particular laws of which affect property owners, which makes it very hard for the the legislature to come up with the latest set of rules concerning home foreclosure on homeowners. The problem is that a state has got own laws which may have interaction in an undesirable manner in regards to foreclosure procedures.

  41. I love what you guys are usually up too. This kind of clever work and reporting! Keep up the amazing works guys I’ve added you guys to my personal blogroll.

  42. Thanks for the good writeup. It in truth used to be a enjoyment account it. Glance complicated to far delivered agreeable from you! However, how could we keep up a correspondence?

  43. A person necessarily lend a hand to make significantly posts I might state. This is the very first time I frequented your website page and to this point? I surprised with the analysis you made to make this actual post extraordinary. Wonderful task!

  44. Hello There. I discovered your weblog the usage of msn. That is a very well written article. I will be sure to bookmark it and return to read extra of your useful info. Thank you for the post. I will certainly return.

  45. In line with my research, after a in foreclosure home is sold at a sale, it is common with the borrower to still have some sort ofthat remaining balance on the mortgage loan. There are many loan merchants who make an effort to have all rates and liens paid by the future buyer. However, depending on specified programs, regulations, and state legislation there may be a number of loans which are not easily handled through the transfer of financial loans. Therefore, the duty still lies on the lender that has obtained his or her property foreclosed on. Thanks for sharing your ideas on this blog site.

  46. I have discovered some significant things through your site post. One other thing I would like to talk about is that there are lots of games in the marketplace designed mainly for preschool age young children. They contain pattern acceptance, colors, wildlife, and styles. These generally focus on familiarization rather than memorization. This helps to keep a child engaged without experiencing like they are learning. Thanks

  47. Howdy! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  48. Good blog post. The things i would like to bring about is that pc memory must be purchased should your computer still cannot cope with what you do by using it. One can install two RAM boards having 1GB each, by way of example, but not one of 1GB and one with 2GB. One should look for the manufacturer’s documentation for one’s PC to ensure what type of memory space is necessary.

  49. Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said «You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.» She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!

  50. Thanks for the points shared on the blog. Something also important I would like to state is that fat loss is not information on going on a celebrity diet and trying to get rid of as much weight as you’re able in a couple of days. The most effective way to lose weight naturally is by consuming it slowly and gradually and right after some basic points which can provide help to make the most through your attempt to lose fat.

  52. I have learned result-oriented things through your blog. One other thing I’d prefer to say is the fact newer computer system operating systems tend to allow far more memory to be used, but they in addition demand more memory simply to perform. If your computer is unable to handle extra memory and also the newest computer software requires that storage increase, it could be the time to buy a new PC. Thanks

  53. Thanks for your article. Another thing is that being a photographer entails not only problems in taking award-winning photographs and also hardships in acquiring the best digicam suited to your needs and most especially struggles in maintaining the caliber of your camera. That is very true and evident for those photography lovers that are in capturing the particular nature’s engaging scenes — the mountains, the particular forests, the actual wild or the seas. Visiting these exciting places unquestionably requires a digital camera that can live up to the wild’s unpleasant environments.

  54. I believe that avoiding ready-made foods could be the first step in order to lose weight. They might taste good, but processed foods include very little nutritional value, making you eat more to have enough power to get over the day. When you are constantly feeding on these foods, transferring to cereals and other complex carbohydrates will make you to have more strength while feeding on less. Great blog post.

  55. An added important part is that if you are a mature person, travel insurance for pensioners is something that is important to really take into account. The more mature you are, greater at risk you happen to be for making something negative happen to you while abroad. If you are certainly not covered by many comprehensive insurance coverage, you could have some serious problems. Thanks for revealing your hints on this weblog.

  56. Wow, superb weblog layout! How lengthy have you ever been blogging for? you make running a blog glance easy. The whole look of your web site is wonderful, let alone the content material!

  57. I’m really enjoying the theme/design of your weblog. Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility issues?

  60. Thanks for the something totally new you have exposed in your text. One thing I’d really like to comment on is that FSBO connections are built after a while. By launching yourself to the owners the first saturday their FSBO is definitely announced, prior to the masses begin calling on Friday, you generate a good connection. By mailing them equipment, educational elements, free accounts, and forms, you become a good ally. By using a personal affinity for them in addition to their predicament, you build a solid network that, on many occasions, pays off in the event the owners opt with a realtor they know along with trust – preferably you.

  61. One more thing is that when evaluating a good internet electronics store, look for online shops that are continuously updated, keeping up-to-date with the latest products, the best deals, plus helpful information on services and products. This will make certain you are dealing with a shop that stays atop the competition and provide you things to make educated, well-informed electronics buying.
