Berberine protects against glutamate-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in PC12 and N2a cells
Objective(s): Neurodegenerative diseases have been associated with glutamatergic dysfunction. Berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid broadly present in different medicinal herbs, has been reported to have neuroprotective effect. In the present study, the effects of berberine against glutamate-induced oxidative damage and apoptosis were investigated. Materials and Methods: The cultured PC12 and N2a...
متن کاملParkin protects human dopaminergic neuroblastoma cells against dopamine-induced apoptosis.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the selective degeneration of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc). A combination of genetic and environmental factors contributes to such a specific loss. Among the five PD-linked genes identified so far, parkin, a protein-ubiquitin E3 ligase, appears to be the most prevalent genetic factor in PD. Although a variety of ...
متن کاملGlutathione peroxidase-1 protects from CD95-induced apoptosis.
Through the induction of apoptosis, CD95 plays a crucial role in the immune response and the elimination of cancer cells. Ligation of CD95 receptor activates a complex signaling network that appears to implicate the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This study investigated the place of ROS production in CD95-mediated apoptosis and the role of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxi...
متن کاملSodium valproate ameliorates aluminum-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis of PC12 cells
Objective(s): According to recent studies, valproate shows some protection against oxidative stress (OS) induced by neurotoxins. Current investigation tried to determine the possible ameliorating effects of sodium valproate (SV) against aluminum (Al)-induced cell death, apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and OS in PC12 cells.Materials ...
متن کاملMorphine-induced apoptosis in PC12 cells: role of Bax and Bcl2
Introduction: It was reported that morphine could induce apoptosis in neurons. However, its specific mechanistic pathways remain elusive. The present study was undertaken to determine whether morphine could induce apoptosis in PC12 cells, a neuronal cell line, and the involvement of Bax and Bcl-2, as upstream factors of mitochondrial pathway. Methods: In an experimental study, the viabili...
