TH là enzyme thứ nhất và AADC là enzyme thứ hai trong chu trình tổng hợp catecholamine. Hàm lượng mRNA của TH và AADC được xác định trong mô não của chuột bằng kỹ thuật RT- PCR. Hàm lượng protein được xác định bằng kỹ thuật Western blot. Chuột được nghiên cứu với liều lượng MP khác nhau (0, 100, 200, 300 và 400 mg/kg) lần lượt trong thời gian 2 giờ và 4 giờ. Kết quả chỉ ra rằng MP làm tăng cả hàm lượng mRNA và protein của TH và AADC ở liều lượng 400 mg/kg trong 2 giờ và ở liều lượng 200 mg/kg trong 4 giờ. Kết quả này cho biết, MP có ảnh hưởng tích cực đến sự biểu hiện của TH và AADC gen và mức độ ảnh hưởng đó phụ thuộc vào liều lượng cũng như thời gian sử dụng MP.

SUMMARY To determine the effect of Mucuna pruriens (MP) on the catecholamine biosynthetic enzyme encoding genes, we determined changes in mRNA and protein levels of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and aromatic l- amino acid decarboxylase (AADC), the first rate – limiting and the second enzyme in the catecholamine biosynthetic pathway. TH and AADC mRNA levels were examined in rat brain tissue by RT- PCR. Protein levels were determined by Western blot analysis. Rats were treated with different doses of MP (0, 100, 200, 300 and 400 mg/kg) for 2 and 4 hrs.. The results showed that the MP significantly increased the levels of TH and AADC mRNA and protein at a dose of 400 mg/kg for 2 hrs and at a dose of 200 mg/kg for 4hrs, respectively. These results indicated that MP has significant effects on the expression of TH and AADC genes and the level of expression depends on the treatment dose and duration of administration. Key words: AADC, catecholamines, gene expression, TH. and epinephrine) called "catecholamines". 1. INTRODUCTION Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is the first and Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most common rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of neurodegenerative movement disorder and affects catecholamines, which is neurotransmitter involved over six million people all over the world (Licker et in a variety of important physiological functions al., 2009). This disease is a degenerative disease of (Milsted et al., 2004). The regulation of TH protein the nervous system due to the progressive loss of level and activity represents a central means for nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons and decrease in controlling catecholamine synthesis (Kumer et al., striatal dopamine. Dopamine is produced by 1996). Changes in TH expression generally reflect dopaminergic neuronal cells and is one of three altered activity of dopaminergic neurons in brain. main neurotransmitters (dopamine, norepinephrine 84

AADC is a non-specific enzyme and then ground to a paste by grinder. This powder was kept in deep freezer -700C and freezing-dry.

Animal experiments Shizuri, 2001). Unlike other enzymes which are Male Sprague-Dawlay rats, 6 ~ 8 weeks of age involved in catecholamine biosynthetic pathway, and weights from 250~300g were used in all AADC is still generally considered not to be limiting in regulating of catecholamine biosynthesis. experiments. Animals were housed four per cage and Nevertheless, some recent studies concerning the under controlled environmental conditions (12 hrs light / dark cycle and room temperature 25 ± 2oC. regulation of AADC in vivo and in vitro through phosphorylation indicate that this enzyme may play Food and water were supplied all the time. Rats were the role in regulation of catecholamine biosynthesis treated by MP powder dissolved in saline with dose (Waymire and Haycock, 2002). The immobilization of 100, 200, 300 and 400 mg/kg each for 2 and 4 hrs stress stimulation induced also increases in TH and (each group = 5 rats). The control groups received AADC activity (Kubovcakova et al., 2004; the same volume of saline instead of MP. Micutkova et al., 2003). 2.3.
