Induced Apoptosis

The neurotoxicity of amyloid-β(Aβ) has been implicated as a critical cause of Alzheimer’s disease. Isorhynchophylline (IRN), an oxindole alkaloid isolated fromUncaria rhynchophylla,exerts neuroprotective effect againstAβ25–35-induced neurotoxicityin vitro. However, the exact mechanism for its neuroprotective effect is not well understood. The present study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the protective action of IRN againstAβ25–35-induced neurotoxicity in cultured rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells. Pretreatment with IRN significantly increased the cell viability, inhibited the release of lactate dehydrogenase and the extent of DNA fragmentation inAβ25–35-treated cells. IRN treatment was able to enhance the protein levels of phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) and glycogen synthase kinase-3β(p-GSK-3β). Lithium chloride blockedAβ25–35-induced cellular apoptosis in a similar manner as IRN, suggesting that GSK-3βinhibition was involved in neuroprotective action of IRN. Pretreatment with LY294002 completely abolished the protective effects of IRN. Furthermore, IRN reversedAβ25–35-induced attenuation in the level of phosphorylated cyclic AMP response element binding protein (p-CREB) and the effect of IRN could be blocked by the PI3K inhibitor. These experimental findings unambiguously suggested that the protective effect of IRN againstAβ25–35-induced apoptosis in PC12 cells was associated with the enhancement of p-CREB expression via PI3K/Akt/GSK-3βsignaling pathway.

Icariin is a prenylated flavonol glycoside derived from the Chinese herbEpimedium sagittatumthat exerts a variety of pharmacological activities and shows promise in the treatment and prevention of Alzheimer’s disease. In this study, we investigated the neuroprotective effects of icariin against amyloid beta protein fragment 25–35 (Aβ25–35) induced neurotoxicity in cultured rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells and explored potential underlying mechanisms. Our results showed that icariin dose-dependently increased cell viability and decreasedAβ25–35-induced apoptosis, as assessed by MTT assay and Annexin V/propidium iodide staining, respectively. Results of western blot analysis revealed that the selective phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor LY294002 suppressed icariin-induced Akt phosphorylation, suggesting that the protective effects of icariin are associated with activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. LY294002 also blocked the icariin-induced downregulation of proapoptotic factors Bax and caspase-3 and upregulation of antiapoptotic factor Bcl-2 inAβ25–35-treated PC12 cells. These findings provide further evidence for the clinical efficacy of icariin in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.

Background: Crocin is a known compound with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory property which many help to reduce the progression of neurological disorders. In this study, we aimed to investigate the protective effects of crocin on beta-amyloid peptide Aβ (1-40) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) induced neurotoxicity in PC12 cells. Methods: PC12 cells pretreated with crocin and donepezil (5 and 10 µM) for 2 h then treated with Aβ (1-40) (25 µM) for 24 h. In parallel after pretreatment with crocin (5 and 10 µM) and donepezil (5 and 10 µM) for 24 h, cells were treated with H2O2 (800 µM) for 4 h. Finally, the cell viability and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation were evaluated using AlamarBlue® and 2', 7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA), respectively. The western blot test was done to compare the protein level of phospho SAPK/JNK, SAPK/JNK, PI3 Kinase P85, Phospho-PI3 Kinase P85, caspase-3 and cytochrome c )cyt c). Results: Crocin and donepezil could significantly decrease the Aβ toxicity and ROS level. While treatment with Aβ increased Cyt c release from mitochondria to cytosol, cleaved form of caspase-3 (17 kDa) and activated form of SAPK/JNK p44/4 and decreased the activated form of PI3 Kinase P85 protein, crocin could significantly block the apoptosis initiated with Aβ. Conclusions: According to the results crocin could be a promising candidate for further evaluations against the development of Alzheimer's diseases through mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) and the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) signaling (PI3 K/AKT) pathways.

6 Hydroxydopamine

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder having close relationship with oxidative stress induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Cortex Fraxini (QP) is a kind of traditional Chinese medicinal herb with antioxidant properties. It may be a potential candidate for preventing the development of chronic neurodegenerative diseases. Thus, the key objective of the current study was to investigate the neuroprotective effect of QP water extract on 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) induced apoptosis in rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells. It was found that QP water extract possesses strong antioxidant property with SC50= 0.15 mg/mL. Total phenolic content of QP water extract was found to be 200.78 ± 2.65 mg GAE/g. QP water extract’s free radical scavenging capacity was demonstrated by reversing the increased level of intracellular ROS induced by 6-OHDA, using 2′,7′-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate. Moreover, QP water extract (0.5 mg/mL) could remarkably increase the viability of PC12 cells treated with 6-OHDA. The protective effect of QP water extract was found to be via inhibiting MEK/ERK pathway and reversing PI3-K/Akt/GSK3βpathway. The current results suggest that QP might be a potential candidate for preventing the development of neurodegenerative diseases, such as PD.
