Abstract
Oksidacijski stres je jedan od ključnih čimbenika u nastanku i progresiji brojnih neurodegenerativnih bolesti. Cilj istraživanja bio je utvrditi učinak flavonoida kvercetina, jednog od najpotentnijih antioksidansa, na preživljenje neurona P19 u uvjetima oksidacijskog stresa izazvanog suviškom iona bakra. Kod umjereno oštećenih neurona obrađenih s 0,5 mM CuSO4 tijekom 24 sata, kvercetin u koncentraciji od 150 μM je povećao preživljenje, te smanjio bakrom izazvan porast stvaranja reaktivnih kisikovih vrsta (RKV) i aktivnost kaspaza-3/7. U istim je uvjetima kvercetin dodatno smanjio bakrom izazvan pad u razini staničnog glutationa. Učinak kvercetina na preživljenje neurona P19 spriječen je u prisutnosti vortmanina, inhibitora PI3K/Akt signalnog puta. Obrada s 1 mM CuSO4 uz dodatni pad preživljenja, izazvala je i izrazit porast RKV i aktivaciju kaspaza-3/7, kao i smanjenje ekspresije antiapoptotskog gena Bcl-2 te porast ekspresije proapoptotskog gena Bax na razini mRNA, ali se toksični učinak bakra nije smanjio u prisutnosti 150 μM kvercetina. Dobiveni rezultati upućuju na neuroprotektivno djelovanje kvercetina u uvjetima umjerenog oksidacijskog oštećenja izazvanog ionima bakra koje se temelji na antioksidacijskom i antiapoptotskom djelovanju, kao i modulaciji PI3K/Akt signalnog puta.
Abstract (english)
Oxidative stress is one of the key factors in the development and progression of many neurodegenerative diseases. The aim of the present study was to explore the effects of the flavonoid quercetin, one of the most potent antioxidants, on the survival of P19 neurons under conditions of oxidative stress provoked by excess copper ions. In moderately injured neurons exposed to 0.5 mM CuSO4 for 24 hours, 150 μM quercetin increased viability and reduced copper-induced increase in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the caspase-3/7 activity. Quercetin also decreased copper-induced depletion of glutathione content. Effect of quercetin on survival of P19 neurons was prevented in the presence of wortmannin, an inhibitor of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Treatment with 1 mM CuSO4 induced further decrease in neuronal survival, together with very pronounced ROS accumulation and activation of caspase-3/7, as well as decreased expression of antiapoptotic gene Bcl-2 and increased expression of proapototic gene Bax at the transcriptional level, but the toxic effect of copper was not reduced in the presence of 150 μM quercetin. The obtained results suggest that neuroprotective effect of quercetin against moderate oxidative injury induced by excess copper ions are related to its antioxidative and antiapoptotic activity, as well as modulation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
