Popis: Background: Young onset Parkinson disease (YOPD) accounts for about 10% of PD patients, with the onset of symptoms between the ages of 21 and 40. At this age, the probability of pregnancy is high and there is a concern that the disease affects the fetuses. Therefore, in the present study, the effects of rotenone-induced PD on female mice as well as their fetuses and curcumin supplementation on the cerebral tissue of both female mice and their resulted fetuses were studied. Methods: The rotenone was injected subcutaneously to induce PD model of female mice. The different concentrations of curcumin were administrated every day i.p. for 3 weeks and the rotarod test was done on day 1 and 19. Cell viability was measured by MTT test and apoptosis and necrosis of cells were evaluate using flow cytometry technique. After primer design, the expressions of bax, bcl-2, miR-211 and circRNA 0001518 genes were measured using RT-PCR technique. Results: Curcumin administration were improved cerebral cell viability of both female PD mice and resulted fetuses by preventing cell apoptosis and necrosis. bax, miR-211 and circRNA 0001518 were downregulated and bcl-2 overexpressed in cerebral neurons of PD mice and their fetuses. Conclusion: PD induction in mice affects their fetal brain, and curcumin can partially reduce the negative effects of PD on fetal brain cells by overexpressing bcl-2 and decreasing bax expression genes.
