Mitochondrial dysfunction and redox dyshomeostasis are considered crucial factors causally linked to the pathogenesis of Down syndrome (DS), a human genetic anomaly currently lacking cure, associated with neurodevelopmental deficits in children early onset symptoms aging adults. Several natural plant-derived polyphenolic compounds, known for their neurostimulator, antioxidant anti-inflammatory activities, have been proposed as dietary supplements manage DS-linked phenotypic alterations. However, poor bioavailability rapid metabolism these compounds limited conclusive evidence regarding clinical efficacy individuals DS. Polydatin (PLD), glucoside precursor resveratrol derived from Polygonum cuspidatum, is instead highly bioavailable resistant enzymatic oxidation. PLD supplementation has shown many therapeutic efficacies several diseases without side effects. In this study, we used fetal trisomy 21 skin fibroblasts (DS-HSFs) investigate, mechanistic point view, whether could prevent or counteract critical cellular alterations both Our findings demonstrate that reactivates mitochondrial bioenergetics, reduces oxygen radical overproduction prevents oxidative stress (OS)-induced senescence DNA damage DS-HSF. Notably, identified novel mechanism action involving chromosome-21-encoded microRNA-155 (miR-155) its direct target genes casitas B-lineage lymphoma (CBL), BAG Cochaperone 5 (BAG5) transcription factor A (TFAM). These proteins play pivotal roles regulating biogenesis mitophagy. Given deregulation miR-155/CBL axis also implicated acute leukemias, which frequently occur DS, emerges promising candidate translational application. Its ability enhance bioenergetics address DS-associated highlights potential.
