چکیده

Oxidative stress has been implicated in the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of Parkinson's disease patients, and several anti-oxidants have been shown to be effective on the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Curcumin has been previously reported to possess radical scavenger, iron chelating, anti-inflammatory properties in different tissues. The aim of present study is to explore the cytoprotection of curcumin against 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced neuronal death, as well as the underlying mechanisms in MES23.5 cells. Our results showed that 6-OHDA significantly reduced the cell viability of MES23.5 cells. Curcumin protected MES23.5 cells against 6-OHDA neurotoxicity by partially restoring the mitochondrial membrane potential, increasing the level of Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase and suppressing an increase in intracellular reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, curcumin pretreatment significantly inhibited 6-OHDA induced nuclear factor-kappaB translocation. These results suggest that the neuroprotective effects of curcumin are attributed to the antioxidative properties and the modulation of nuclear factor-kappaB translocation.

Modulation of Lipopolysaccharide Stimulated Nuclear Factor kappa B Mediated iNOS/NO Production by Bromelain in Rat Primary Microglial Cells

Background: Microglial cells act as the sentinel of the central nervous system .They are involved in neuroprotection but are highly implicated in neurodegeneration of the aging brain. When over-activated, microglia release pro-inflammatory factors, such as nitric oxide (NO) and cytokines, which are critical in eliciting neuroinflammatory responses associated with neurodegenerative diseases. Thi...

Curcumin is active component of turmeric and isolated from the rhizome of turmeric, a phenolic natural product. One of inflammatory disease is multiple sclerosis, a multifocal chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease of the CNS, which is also known as a perivascular demyelinating disease. Studies have been shown that neuro-inflammation can have both harmful and beneficial effects on the neuronal...
