Abstract
As natural medicines in complementary and alternative medicine, edible and medicinal resources are being gradually recognized throughout the world. According to statistics from the World Health Organization, about 80% of the worldwide population has used edible and medicinal resource products to prevent and treat diseases. Polysaccharides, one of the main effective components in edible and medicinal resources, are considered ideal regulators of various biological responses due to their high effectiveness and low toxicity, and they have a wide range of possible applications for the development of functional foods for the regulation of common, frequently occurring, chronic and severe diseases. Such applications include the development of polysaccharide products for the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases that are difficult to control by a single treatment, which is of great value to the aging population. Therefore, we evaluated the potential of polysaccharides to prevent neurodegeneration by their regulation of behavioral and major pathologies, including abnormal protein aggregation and neuronal damage caused by neuronal apoptosis, autophagy, oxidative damage, neuroinflammation, unbalanced neurotransmitters, and poor synaptic plasticity. This includes multi-target and multi-pathway regulation involving the mitochondrial pathway, MAPK pathway, NF-κB pathway, Nrf2 pathway, mTOR pathway, PI3K/AKT pathway, P53/P21 pathway, and BDNF/TrkB/CREB pathway. In this paper, research into edible and medicinal resource polysaccharides for neurodegenerative diseases was reviewed in order to provide a basis for the development and application of polysaccharide health products and promote the recognition of functional products of edible and medicinal resources.

Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1238:340163. [PMID: 36464456 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2022.340163] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2022] [Revised: 06/23/2022] [Accepted: 07/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Misfolding of superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD1) has been correlated with many neurodegenerative diseases, such as Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis's and Alzheimer's among others. However, it is unclear whether misfolded SOD1 plays a role in another neurodegenerative disease of white matter lesions (WMLs). In this study, a sensitive and specific method based on SERS technique was proposed for quantitative detection of misfolded SOD1 content in WMLs. To fabricate the double antibodysandwich substrates for SERS detection, gold nanostars modified with capture antibody were immobilized on glass substrates to prepare active SERS substrates, and then SERS probes conjugated with a Raman reporter and a specific target antibody were coupled with active SERS substrates. This SERS substrates had been employed for quantitative detection of misfolded SOD1 levels in WMLs and exhibited excellent stability, reliability, and accuracy. Moreover, experimental results indicated that the level of misfolded SOD1 increased with the increase in age and the degree of WMLs. Hence, misfolded SOD1 may be a potential blood marker for WMLs and aging. Meanwhile, SERS-based gold nanostars have great clinical application potential in the screening, diagnosis and treatment of WMLs.
