Hypothesis/ Purpose The purpose of the experiment is to analyze the therapeutic and preventative potential of Resveratrol on Alzhemier’s disease. Alternate - with the administration of Resveratrol in the CL 2006 model, amyloid-beta production will slow, and the spread of the amyloid-beta molecules will reduce. Null - There will be no change in amyloid beta production nor paralysis with the addition of Resveratrol.
Protocols Preparation of Bacterial Plates (Siernagle, 2009) (Yun, 2007)
Protocols Resveratrol Administration (Halliwell, 2004) Concentration <or = to 100 micromolars (Lenker, 2001)
Protocols C. elegans synchronization Paralyzed versus Non-Paralyzed (Cheng,2002)
Protocols Staining using Congo Red Dye-registers Amyloid Beta Plaques (Zhao, 1999)
Do-Ability This project is do-able because we have all the necessary materials in the lab C. elgegans (both CL 2006 and wild-type) are readily available as well as their environments ie; plates, food, living conditions Resveratrol is also readily available, it can be purchased relatively easily Amyloid Stain is readily available Microscope/s are available along with the prism and a Motic camera are also readily available; thus observation is do-able
C. Elegans Control CL 2006 ControlC. Elegans adminstered Resveratro l(negative control) CL 2006 Resveratrol (Preventative) Monitor LifespanStain and monitor amyloid levels, as well as monitor lifespan CL 2006 Resveratrol Therapeutic Monitor Life Span, Stain, and obeserve amyloid- beta levels Treat with Resveratrol prior to paralysis. Measure Lifespan, stain,and measure amyloid-beta levels. Treat on the onset of paralysis. Measure lifespan, stain, and measure amyloid- beta levels Record Qualitative and Quantitative Data based upon the observations, and following the protocols, (Lifespan, Amyloid-Beta Levels) CL 2006 Gamma- Secretase Tested in order to make sure that the amyloid-beta is being targeted (2 or 3 trials) Statistical Analysis by Two Way Anova followed by Scheffe Post-Hoc (p<.05)
