Orexin-A elicits multiple potent effects on a variety of tumor cells via different signaling pathways. However, it is unknown whether it has a neuroprotective effect on SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells. This study investigated the neuroprotective effect of Orexin-A against hydrogen peroxide (HO)-induced oxidative damage in SH-SY5Y cells and the underlying mechanism. HO treatment decreased the viability of SH-SY5Y cells, induced apoptosis, and decreased superoxide dismutase activity. Orexin-A attenuated these effects, indicating that it protects SH-SY5Y cells against HO-induced oxidative damage. Pre-treatment with Orexin-A also attenuated HO-induced increases in phosphorylation of MEK and ERK. Moreover, these effects of Orexin-A were reduced in the presence of the PI3K inhibitor LY294002. Finally, pre-treatment with LY294002 abrogated attenuation of the HO-induced decrease in cell viability and increase in caspase-3/7 activity by Orexin-A. These results show that the PI3K/MEK/ERK signaling pathway is involved in the neuroprotective effects of Orexin-A against HO-induced oxidative damage in SH-SY5Y cells. Our findings provide insight into the neuroprotective effects of Orexin-A and the underlying mechanism, which will be useful for the treatment of nervous system diseases.
食欲素-A 通过不同的信号通路对多种肿瘤细胞产生多种强效作用。然而,目前尚不清楚它是否对 SH-SY5Y 人神经母细胞瘤细胞具有神经保护作用。本研究探讨了食欲素-A 对 SH-SY5Y 细胞过氧化氢 (HO) 诱导的氧化损伤的神经保护作用及其潜在机制。HO 处理降低了 SH-SY5Y 细胞的活力,诱导细胞凋亡,并降低了超氧化物歧化酶的活性。食欲素-A 减弱了这些作用,表明它对 SH-SY5Y 细胞免受 HO 诱导的氧化损伤。预孵育食欲素-A 也减弱了 HO 诱导的 MEK 和 ERK 磷酸化增加。此外,在存在 PI3K 抑制剂 LY294002 的情况下,食欲素-A 的这些作用减少。最后,LY294002 的预处理消除了食欲素-A 对 HO 诱导的细胞活力降低和 caspase-3/7 活性增加的抑制作用。这些结果表明,PI3K/MEK/ERK 信号通路参与了食欲素-A 对 SH-SY5Y 细胞 HO 诱导的氧化损伤的神经保护作用。我们的研究结果为食欲素-A 的神经保护作用及其潜在机制提供了深入了解,这将有助于神经系统疾病的治疗。
