Studies on model organisms have been found to be invaluable in clarifying the cellular and molecular basis of normal cellular processes and disease pathogenesis. Drosophila mutants and transgenes have provided a platform to understand the mechanisms associated with degenerative disease. Studies on the role of polyphenols in protecting against neurodegenerative diseases are limited. In the present study, the effect of curcumin at various doses was studied on the climbing ability of the transgenic <em>Drosophila melanogaster </em>that expresses normal human α-synuclein in the neurons. A significant dose-dependent protection against loss of climbing ability was observed. The results suggest that curcumin can strongly improve the climbing ability of Parkinson’s disease model flies and also supports the utility of this model in studying the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most common movement disorder with motor and nonmotor signs. The current therapeutic regimen for PD is mainly symptomatic as the etio-pathophysiology has not been fully elucidated. A variety of animal models has been generated to study different aspects of the disease for understanding the pathogenesis and therapeutic development. The disease model can be generated through neurotoxin-based or genetic-based approaches in a wide range of animals such as non-human primates (NHP), rodents, zebrafish, Caenorhabditis (C.) elegans, and drosophila. Cellular-based disease model is frequently used because of the ease of manipulation and suitability for large-screen assays. In neurotoxin-induced models, chemicals such as 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), rotenone, and paraquat are used to recapitulate the disease. Genetic manipulation of PD-related genes, such as α-Synuclein(SNCA), Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2), Pten-Induced Kinase 1 (PINK1), Parkin(PRKN), and Protein deglycase (DJ-1) Are used in the transgenic models. An emerging model that combines both genetic- and neurotoxin-based methods has been generated to study the role of the immune system in the pathogenesis of PD. Here, we discuss the advantages and limitations of the different PD models and their utility for different research purposes.
