Long-Term Benefits of TUDCA Supplement in ARSACS Zebrafish Model

ABSTRACT: Our work demonstrated an impairment in cognitive, social and emotional behavior in aged sacs knockout zebrafish similar to that observed in human patients. Transcriptomic and proteomic data from the adult brains revealing alterations in several genes related to circadian rhythms and neuroinflammation in adult mutants. t Interestingly, alterations in sleep and circadian rhythms are common in individuals with cerebellar ataxia and may contribute to cognitive function and behavior. Long term treatment with TUDCA , a neuroprotective molecule,partially rescued social and cognitive deficits. These findings suggest the potential for further optimization of this neuroprotective compound in subsequent preclinical and clinical studies.
