Black raspberry is known to contain a diverse number of phytochemicals, especially polyphenols which have shown health benefits. These compounds might play a role in alleviating β-amyloid (Aβ)-induced neurotoxicity. In this study, we investigated the effect of black raspberry in reducing Aβ toxicity and improving mitochondrial function in the HT-22 cell model. HT-22 cells were co-cultured together with black raspberry extract (BRE) and Aβ and various markers for apoptosis and mitochondrial function were assessed. BRE treatment significantly improved cell viability, reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and enhanced mitochondrial biogenesis via upregulation of PGC-1α and Sirt1 expression. Among the isolated fractions, the ethanol fraction (Et-F1) demonstrated the most potent neuroprotective effect. High-performance liquid chromatography identified rutin as a major compound in Et-F1, though it did not account for the full protective effect. In conclusion, our results suggest that BRE might be used as a natural supplementation for combatting Aβ-associated dementia.
已知黑树莓含有多种植物化学物质,尤其是已显示出对健康有益的多酚类物质。这些化合物可能在减轻β-淀粉样蛋白(Aβ)诱导的神经毒性方面发挥作用。在本研究中,我们在HT-22细胞模型中研究了黑树莓在降低Aβ毒性和改善线粒体功能方面的作用。将HT-22细胞与黑树莓提取物(BRE)和Aβ共同培养,并评估各种凋亡和线粒体功能标志物。BRE处理显著提高了细胞活力,减少了活性氧(ROS)的产生,并通过上调PGC-1α和Sirt1的表达增强了线粒体生物合成。在分离的组分中,乙醇组分(Et-F1)表现出最有效的神经保护作用。高效液相色谱法鉴定芦丁为Et-F1中的主要化合物,但其并未完全解释其保护作用。总之,我们的结果表明,BRE可能用作对抗Aβ相关痴呆的天然补充剂。
