Foxo Signaling Pathway

Background/Aims: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a prevalent disease that leads to motor and cognitive disabilities, and oxidative stress (OS) injury was found to be related to the etiology of PD. Increasing evidence has shown that SHC3 is aberrantly expressed in neurons. The current study examines the involvement of SHC3 silencing in OS injury in the nigral dopamine neurons in rats with PD via the PI3K-AKT-FoxO signaling pathway. Methods: To study the mechanisms and functions of SHC3 silencing in PD at the tissue level, 170 rats were selected, and a lentivirus-based packaging system was designed to silence SHC3 expression in rats. Furthermore, PC12 cells were selected for in vitro experimentation. To evaluate the effect of SHC3 silencing in nigral dopamine neuronal growth, an MTT assay, propidium iodide (PI) single staining and Annexin V-PI double staining were performed to detect cell viability, cell cycle progression and cell apoptosis, respectively. Results: SHC3 shRNA led to decreased SOD and MDA levels and enhanced GSH activity, indicating that SHC3 silencing leads to motor retardation. SHC3 silencing repressed the extent of Akt and FoxO phosphorylation, thereby inhibiting the PI3K-AKT-FoxO signaling pathway. Furthermore, in cell experiments, SHC3 silencing suppressed PC12 cell proliferation and cell cycle progression, whereas it enhanced cell apoptosis. Conclusion: The current study provides evidence suggesting that SHC3 silencing may aggravate OS injury in nigral dopamine neurons via downregulation of the PI3K-AKT-FoxO signaling pathway in PD rats.

Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid

We demonstrated that capsaicin (CAP), an agonist of transient receptor potential vanilloid subtype 1 (TRPV1), inhibits microglia activation and microglia-derived oxidative stress in the substantia nigra (SN) of MPP+-lesioned rat. However, the detailed mechanisms how microglia-derived oxidative stress is regulated by CAP remain to be determined. Here we report that ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) endogenously produced by CAP-activated astrocytes through TRPV1, but not microglia, inhibits microglial activation and microglia-derived oxidative stress, as assessed by OX-6 and OX-42 immunostaining and hydroethidine staining, respectively, resulting in neuroprotection. The significant increase in levels of CNTF receptor alpha (CNTFRα) expression was evident on microglia in the MPP+-lesioned rat SN and the observed beneficial effects of CNTF was abolished by treatment with CNTF receptor neutralizing antibody. It is therefore likely that CNTF can exert its effect via CNTFRα on microglia, which rescues dopamine neurons in the SN of MPP+-lesioned rats and ameliorates amphetamine-induced rotations. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed also a significantly increased expression of CNTFRα on microglia in the SN from human Parkinson’s disease patients compared with age-matched controls, indicating that these findings may have relevance to the disease. These data suggest that CNTF originated from TRPV1 activated astrocytes may be beneficial to treat neurodegenerative disease associated with neuro-inflammation such as Parkinson’s disease.
