6 Hydroxydopamine

Since the first description of Parkinson's disease (PD) nearly two centuries ago, a number of studies have revealed the clinical symptoms, pathology, and therapeutic approaches to overcome this intractable neurodegenerative disease. 1-methy-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) and 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) are neurotoxins which produce Parkinsonian pathology. From the animal studies using these neurotoxins, it has become well established that oxidative stress is a primary cause of, and essential for, cellular apoptosis in dopaminergic neurons. Here, we describe the mechanism whereby oxidative stress evokes irreversible cell death, and propose a novel therapeutic strategy for PD using molecular hydrogen. Hydrogen has an ability to reduce oxidative damage and ameliorate the loss of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neuronal pathway in two experimental animal models. Thus, it is strongly suggested that hydrogen might provide a great advantage to prevent or minimize the onset and progression of PD.

6 Hydroxydopamine

Purpose: To investigation the protective effects of hesperetin against 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)- induced neurotoxicity. Methods: SH-SY5Y cells were incubated with 6-OHDA to create an in vitro model of neurotoxicity. This model was used to test the neuroprotective effects of hesperetin. Cell viability was assessed by MTT and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assays. Flow cytometry and western blot were used to quantify apoptosis. Oxidative stress was evaluated by determining intracellular glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Results: In SH-SY5Y cells, treatment with 6-OHDA decreased cell viability and promoted LDH release. However, exogenous hesperetin protected against 6-OHDA-mediated toxicity. Similarly, although incubation with 6-OHDA induced apoptosis and increased cleaved caspase-3 and -9 levels, treatment with hesperetin protected against these effects. Treatment with 6-OHDA also led to significant oxidative stress, as indicated by reduced GSH and SOD levels and increased MDA and ROS levels in SH-SY5Y cells. However, these changes were reversed by pre-treatment with hesperetin. Of interest, hesperetin led to changes in 6-OHDA-induced expression of NRF2, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), glutamate-cysteine ligase (GCL) catalytic subunit (GCLC), and GCL modulatory (GCLM). Conclusion: Hesperetin protects against cell toxicity, apoptosis, and oxidative stress via activation of NRF2 pathway in a 6-OHDA-induced model of neurotoxicity. Future studies should investigate the use of hesperetin as a potential therapeutic approach for prevention or management of Parkinson’s disease.

Background/Aims: The study aimed to investigate the protective effect of curcumin against oxidative stress-induced injury of Parkinson’s disease (PD) through the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in rats. Methods: The successfully established PD rat models and normal healthy rats were randomly assigned into the 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), the curcumin (Cur) and the control groups. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the positive expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), dopamine transporter (DAT) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). Deutocerebrum primary cells were extracted and classified into the control, 6-OHDA, Cur (5, 10, 15 µmol/L), Dickkopf-1 (DKK-1) and Cur + DKK-1 groups. MTT assays, adhesion tests and TUNEL staining were used to assess cell viability, adhesion and apoptosis, respectively. Western blotting and qRT-PCR were used to examine the protein and mRNA expressions of Wnt3a and β-catenin and the c-myc and cyclinD1 mRNA expressions. Results: TH and DAT expressions in the Cur group were elevated and GFAP was reduced compared with the 6-OHDA group. Curcumin enhanced viability, survival and adhesion and attenuated apoptosis of deutocerebrum primary cells by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Higher Wnt3a and β-catenin mRNA and protein expressions and c-myc and cyclinD1 mRNA expressions, enhanced superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) contents, decreased malondialdehyde (MDA) content and elevated mitochondrial membrane potential (∆ψm) were found in the 10 and 15 µmol/L Cur groups compared with the 6-OHDA group. However, opposite tendencies were found in the Cur + DKK-1 group compared to the 10 µmol/L Cur group. Conclusion: This study suggests that curcumin could protect against oxidative stress-induced injury in PD rats via the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.
