Sinensetin (SIN) is an important active compound that exists widely in citrus plants, and has been reported to exhibit various pharmacological properties, including anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor. This study was designed to examine whether SIN can protect against amyloid beta (Aβ)-induced neurotoxicity and to elucidate the underlying mechanism. Our results showed that pretreatment with SIN for 1 h, followed by co-treatment with Aβ plus SIN for 24 h, attenuated Aβ-induced cell viability reduction, oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Aβ-induced upregulation of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) expression and nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB) p65 subunit were inhibited by pretreatment with SIN. Furthermore, the protective effect of SIN was abrogated by TLR4 overexpression. Hence, our data suggested that SIN attenuated Aβ-induced neurotoxicity through the TLR4/NF-κB pathway.
橙皮素(SIN)是一种广泛存在于柑橘类植物中的重要活性化合物,据报道具有多种药理作用,包括抗氧化、抗炎和抗肿瘤作用。本研究旨在探讨 SIN 是否能预防淀粉样β(Aβ)诱导的神经毒性,并阐明其潜在机制。我们的结果表明,SIN 预处理 1 小时,然后与 Aβ共同孵育 24 小时,可剂量依赖性地减轻 Aβ诱导的细胞活力降低、氧化应激、炎症和细胞凋亡。SIN 预处理抑制了 Aβ诱导的 Toll 样受体 4(TLR4)表达的上调和核因子-κB(NF-κB)p65 亚单位的核转位。此外,SIN 的保护作用被 TLR4 的过表达所阻断。因此,我们的数据表明,SIN 通过 TLR4/NF-κB 通路减轻 Aβ诱导的神经毒性。
