Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a disease characterized by increased glucose levels in the blood. Hyperglycemia causes damage to the brain tissue, and induces significant changes in synaptic transmission. In this investigation, we have found a significant alteration in the expression of the molecular motor involved in the synaptic vesicles transport, myosin-Va, and its distribution in rat brains of streptozotocin-induced diabetes model. Brains were removed after 20 days, homogenized and analysed by Western blotting, qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. Myosin-Va presented significantly lower levels of both mRNA and protein in diabetic than those observed in non-diabetic animals. Moreover, neuronal and glial cells of the occipital and frontal cortex exhibited decreased myosin-Va immunostaining in diabetic rat brains. In conclusion, diabetic rat brains displayed altered expression and distribution of myosin-Va, and these finding may contribute to the basic understanding about this myosin role in brain function related to diabetes.
