Esposizione cronica al bisfenolo A in gravidanza: come le plastiche possono alterare encefalo e comportamento sociale
L’esposizione cronica per un periodo che copre gravidanza e allattamento, a una dose di BPA pari a quella indicata come dose tollerabile giornaliera (TDI) dall’EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) causa nelle femmine di topo alterazioni sia a livello comportamentale che encefalico.
I risultati dello studio realizzato dai nostri ricercatori del gruppo di Neuroendocrinologia e pubblicati sull’European Journal of Histochemistry suggeriscono quanto sia urgente adottare misure più stringenti nell'utilizzo di BPA, a tutela della salute di tutti.
Sclerosi multipla: lesioni del tessuto cerebrale associate a un'alterazione della proteina A20
In questo studio pubblicato su Brain Pathology le nostre ricercatrici del laboratorio di Neurobiologia clinica hanno analizzato per la prima volta l’espressione di A20 in tessuti cerebrali post-mortem di persone con SM, confrontandola con quella di tessuti di persone senza SM.
GPER: il recettore degli estrogeni che fluttua con gli ormoni
Interagiscono con i loro recettori cellulari nello stesso modo in cui una chiave entra in una serratura: sono i recettori degli estrogeni (ER), ampiamente diffusi nel nostro organismo e anche nell’encefalo. Il perfetto incastro tra gli estrogeni e i loro recettori innesca una serie di eventi biochimici che culminano nella regolazione di determinate zone attive del DNA cellulare, responsabili a loro volta della sintesi delle proteine, controllando così funzioni importanti come fertilità, metabolismo, ciclo sonno/veglia, memoria e stati d’ansia.
Questa regolazione avviene per mezzo di recettori nucleari degli estrogeni noti e studiati da molto tempo. Recentemente però è stato identificato un nuovissimo recettore per gli estrogeni: GPER. Le nostre ricercatrici del gruppo di Neuroendocrinologia ne hanno approfondito in due studi la distribuzione nell’encefalo, suggerendo che la regolazione degli estrogeni attraverso il recettore GPER può essere diversa nei maschi e nelle femmine e può fluttuare durante il ciclo estrale nelle femmine.
