To investigate the effect of curcumin on dopamine neurons in Parkinson's disease (PD) and its mechanism.
SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells were treated with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) to establish the PD cell model. The model cells were treated with curcumin and/or autophagy inhibitor 3-MA. After 48 h of drug treatment, the number of surviving dopamine neurons was detected by tyrosine hydroxylase immunofluorescence method. Western blotting was used to detect protein expression of α-Synuclein (α-Syn), transcription factor EB (TFEB) and autophagy-related proteins lysosome-associated membrane protein 2A (LAMP2A) and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3-Ⅱ(LC3-Ⅱ); RT-PCR was used to detect mRNA expression of α-Syn.
Compared with MPTP model group, curcumin increased the number of surviving dopamine neurons(<0.01), decreased both protein expression and mRNA expression of α-Syn (all <0.01), and increased protein expression of TFEB, LAMP2A and LC3-Ⅱ (all <0.01). When curcumin and 3-MA were given concurrently, the number of surviving dopamine neurons, protein expression of TFEB, LAMP2A and LC3-Ⅱ increased (<0.05 or <0.01), and both protein expression and mRNA expression of α-Syn decreased (<0.05 or <0.01) compared with MPTP model group; but the number of surviving dopamine neurons and protein expression of LAMP2A and LC3-Ⅱ decreased compared with curcumin group (all <0.05).
Curcumin exerts protective effect on dopamine neurons in PD, which may be associated with enhancing autophagy and promoting the clearance of α-Syn.
探讨姜黄素对帕金森病(PD)中多巴胺能神经元的作用及其机制。
用1-甲基-4-苯基-1,2,3,6-四氢吡啶(MPTP)处理人神经母细胞瘤SH-SY5Y细胞,建立PD细胞模型。将模型细胞用姜黄素和/或自噬抑制剂3-甲基腺嘌呤(3-MA)处理。药物处理48小时后,采用酪氨酸羟化酶免疫荧光法检测存活多巴胺能神经元的数量。用蛋白质印迹法检测α-突触核蛋白(α-Syn)、转录因子EB(TFEB)和自噬相关蛋白溶酶体相关膜蛋白2A(LAMP2A)及微管相关蛋白1轻链3-Ⅱ(LC3-Ⅱ)的蛋白表达;用逆转录-聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)检测α-Syn的mRNA表达。
与MPTP模型组相比,姜黄素增加了存活多巴胺能神经元的数量(<0.01),降低了α-Syn的蛋白表达和mRNA表达(均<0.01),并增加了TFEB、LAMP2A和LC3-Ⅱ的蛋白表达(均<0.01)。当姜黄素与3-MA同时给予时,与MPTP模型组相比,存活多巴胺能神经元的数量、TFEB、LAMP2A和LC3-Ⅱ的蛋白表达增加(<0.05或<0.01),α-Syn的蛋白表达和mRNA表达降低(<0.05或<0.01);但与姜黄素组相比,存活多巴胺能神经元的数量以及LAMP2A和LC3-Ⅱ的蛋白表达降低(均<0.05)。
姜黄素对PD中的多巴胺能神经元具有保护作用,这可能与增强自噬和促进α-Syn的清除有关。
