Antioxidant and Free Radical Scavenging Potential of Yakuchinone B Derivatives in Reduction of Lipofuscin Formation Using H2O2-Treated Neuroblastoma Cells
Background: The progressive accumulation of misfolded and aggregated proteins in neurons is an accepted mechanism in aging. Overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), referred to as oxidative stress, is currently believed to play a pivotal role in this process. Lipofuscin as a histological index of aging results from cross-links between oxidized proteins and lipids. Therefore, to attenuat...
متن کاملSynapse formation by neuroblastoma hybrid cells.
The most widely held hypothesis concerning the mechanism of synapse formation during the last 20 years has been the chemoaffmity hypothesis of Sperry (1963), i.e., that neurons distinguish appropriate from inappropriate synaptic partner cells by interactions between molecules that code for cell recognition. Although Sperry avoided detailed models, many investigators have assumed that neurons or...
متن کاملReceptor-mediated shifts in cGMP and cAMP levels in neuroblastoma cells.
3':5'-cGMP levels of neuroblastoma N1E-115 cells increase as much as 200-fold upon activation of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, resulting in intracellular cGMP concentrations greater than 600 pmol/mg of protein. The cells also have receptors for adenosine which mediate an increase in 3':5'-cAMP levels. Unexpectedly, prostaglandin E1 was found to increase the concentrations of both cGMP and...
متن کاملMu-opioids activate phospholipase C in SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells via calcium-channel opening.
We have recently reported that, in SH-SY5Y cells, mu-opioid receptor occupancy activates phospholipase C via a pertussis toxin-sensitive G-protein. In the present study we have further characterized the mechanisms involved in this process. Fentanyl (0.1 microM) caused a monophasic increase in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate mass formation, with a peak (20.5 +/- 3.6 pmol/mg of protein) at 15 s. Inc...
متن کاملNitric oxide and cGMP regulate gene expression in neuronal and glial cells by activating type II cGMP-dependent protein kinase.
Nitric oxide (NO) and cGMP have been implicated in many neuronal functions, including regulation of gene expression, but little is known about the downstream targets of NO/cGMP in the nervous system. We found that type II cGMP-dependent protein kinase (G-kinase), which is widely expressed in the brain, mediated NO- and cGMP-induced activation of the fos promoter in cells of neuronal and glial o...
