High glucose (HG) is linked to dopaminergic neuron loss and related Parkinson's disease (PD), but the mechanism is unclear.
Rats and differentiated SH-SY5Y cells were used to investigate the effect of HG on dopaminergic neuronal apoptotic death. We found that a 40-day HG diet elevated cleaved caspase 3 levels and activated Fyn and mTOR/S6K signaling in the substantia nigra of rats. In vitro, 6 days of HG treatment activated Fyn, enhanced binding between Fyn and mTOR, activated mTOR/S6K signaling, and induced neuronal apoptotic death. The proapoptotic effect of HG was rescued by either the Fyn inhibitor PP1 or the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin. PP1 inhibited mTOR/S6K signaling, but rapamycin was unable to modulate Fyn activation.
HG induces dopaminergic neuronal apoptotic death via the Fyn/mTOR/S6K pathway.
高葡萄糖(HG)与多巴胺能神经元丢失和相关的帕金森病(PD)有关,但机制尚不清楚。
使用大鼠和分化的 SH-SY5Y 细胞来研究 HG 对多巴胺能神经元凋亡死亡的影响。我们发现,40 天的 HG 饮食可使大鼠黑质中裂解的 caspase 3 水平升高,并激活 Fyn 和 mTOR/S6K 信号通路。体外,6 天的 HG 处理可激活 Fyn,增强 Fyn 与 mTOR 之间的结合,激活 mTOR/S6K 信号通路,并诱导神经元凋亡死亡。Fyn 抑制剂 PP1 或 mTOR 抑制剂 rapamycin 均可挽救 HG 的促凋亡作用。PP1 抑制 mTOR/S6K 信号通路,但 rapamycin 不能调节 Fyn 的激活。
