Carnosic acid (CA) is recognized as a unique neuroprotective compound in the herb rosemary, since it induces expression of antioxidant enzymes including heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), γ-glutamylcysteine synthase (γ-GCS), and glutathione S-transferase (GST) via activation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), which is a nuclear transcription factor. In this study, we examined the cytoprotective effects of CA against starvation. We found that CA protected starvation-induced SH-SY5Y cell death by activating Akt and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (Erk1/2). Interestingly, CA induced moderate autophagy and dephosphorylation of a transcriptional factor, the forkhead box protein O3a (FoxO3a). These effects of CA play an important role in cytoprotection.
迷迭香酸(CA)被认为是迷迭香叶中一种独特的神经保护化合物,因为它通过激活核转录因子核因子红细胞2相关因子2(Nrf2)来诱导包括血红素加氧酶-1(HO-1)、γ-谷氨酰半胱氨酸合成酶(γ-GCS)和谷胱甘肽S-转移酶(GST)在内的抗氧化酶的表达。在本研究中,我们检测了CA对饥饿的细胞保护作用。我们发现,CA通过激活Akt和细胞外信号调节激酶1/2(Erk1/2)来保护饥饿诱导的SH-SY5Y细胞死亡。有趣的是,CA诱导了适度的自噬和转录因子叉头框蛋白O3a(FoxO3a)的去磷酸化。CA的这些作用在细胞保护中发挥着重要作用。
