Abstract Scorpions are predatory arachnids whose venomous sting primarily affects people in tropical and subtropical regions. Most scorpion stings can only cause localized pain without severe envenomation. Less than one-third of the systemic envenoming possibly lead to death. About 350,000 Northern Africa recorded yearly, resulting about 810 deaths. In Eastern/Southern Africa, there 79,000 245 Farmers those living poverty-stricken areas among most vulnerable getting stung by scorpions.

Recent epidemiological studies have indicated that exposure to particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 μm or less in the ambient air (PM2.5) is significantly associated elevated risk developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and its progression. Scorpion venom heat-resistant synthetic peptide (SVHRSP) exhibits anti-inflammatory neuroprotective properties. However, exact ways which SVHRSP mitigates progression AD induced by PM2.5 are still unknown. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) plays a crucial role various biological processes. Necroptosis, form programmed cell death, has garnered considerable attention recent years. This study aims investigate whether Lnc Gm16410 neuronal necroptosis involved PM2.5-exacerbated mechanisms alleviating this process. Through establishment model mice vitro model, it was found could promote down-regulation Gm16410, thereby promoting AD. Behavioral tests showed alleviated cognitive impairment PM2.5-induced mice. WB, qRT-PCR, other molecular assays indicate regulates under via p38 MAPK pathway. potential regulator regulating alleviate exposure-induced necroptosis. These findings offer new insights into mechanism through accelerates AD, examined from perspective LncRNA. Furthermore, we targets for treatment prevention following investigating action
