Reducing the effect of beauvericin on neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell line by natural products
2020
Abstract In the present work, different natural compounds from coffee by-product extracts (coffee silverskin and spent coffee) rich in polyphenols, was investigated against beauvericin (BEA) induced-cytotoxicity on SH-SY5Y cells. Spent coffee arise as waste products through the production of instant coffee and coffee brewing; while the silverskin is a tegument which is removed and eliminated with toasting coffee grains. First of all, polyphenol extraction methods, measurement of total polyphenols content and its identification were carried out. Afterwards evaluating in vitro effects with MTT assay on SH-SY5Y cells of coffee by-product extracts and mycotoxins at different concentrations and …
Uncovering the Signaling Pathway behind Extracellular Guanine-Induced Activation of NO System: New Perspectives in Memory-Related Disorders
2018
Mounting evidence suggests that the guanine-based purines stand out as key player in cell metabolism and in several models of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. Guanosine (GUO) and guanine (GUA) are extracellular signaling molecules derived from the breakdown of the correspondent nucleotide, GTP, and their intracellular and extracellular levels are regulated by the fine-tuned activity of two major enzymes, purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) and guanine deaminase (GDA). Noteworthy, GUO and GUA, seem to play opposite roles in the modulation of cognitive functions, such as learning and memory. Indeed GUO, despite exerting neuroprotective, anti-apoptot…
Activation of microglia synergistically enhances neurodegeneration caused by MPP+ in human SH-SY5Y cells
2019
While MPP+ may not directly activate microglia, the initial neuronal damage inflicted by the toxin may trigger microglia, possibly leading to synergistic pro-apoptotic interaction between neuro-inflammation and toxin-induced neurotoxicity, which may further aggravate neurodegeneration. However, what molecular targets are synergistically up or downregulated during this interaction is not well understood. Here, we addressed this by co-culturing fully differentiated human SH-SY5Y cells treated with parkinsonian toxin 1-Methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+), with endotoxin-activated microglial cell line EOC 20 to determine how this interaction affects pro-apoptotic (p38, JNK, and bax:bcl2 ratios) an…
Oxidative stress, glutathione, and gene expression as key indicators in SH-SY5Y cells exposed to zearalenone metabolites and beauvericin.
2020
The co-presence of mycotoxins from fungi of the genus Fusarium is a common fact in raw food and food products, as trace levels of them or their metabolites can be detected, unless safety practices during manufacturing are carried out. Zearalenone (ZEA), its metabolites α-zearalenol (α-ZEL) and β-zearalenol (β-ZEL) and, beauvericin (BEA) are co/present in cereals, fruits or their products which is a mixture that consumer are exposed and never evaluated in neuronal cells. In this study the role of oxidative stress and intracellular defense systems was assessed by evaluating reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and glutathione (GSH) ratio activity in a human neuroblastoma cell line, SH-SY5…
Antiproliferative Effect of Elastin-Derived Peptide VGVAPG on SH-SY5Y Neuroblastoma Cells
2019
Throughout the lifetime of humans, the amount of stem cells and the rate of cell proliferation continue to decrease. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are one among the many factors that promote stem cell aging. Both a decrease in the level of stem cells and increase in ROS production can lead to the development of different neurodegenerative diseases. This study was conducted to determine how the VGVAPG peptide, liberated from elastin during the aging process and under pathological conditions, affects ROS production and activities of antioxidant enzymes in undifferentiated, proliferating SH-SY5Y cells. SH-SY5Y cells were maintained in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium/nutrient mixture F-12 su…
Neuroprotective and Antioxidant Role of Oxotremorine-M, a Non-selective Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors Agonist, in a Cellular Model of Alzheimer …
2022
AbstractAlzheimer disease (AD) is a multifactorial and age-dependent neurodegenerative disorder, whose pathogenesis, classically associated with the formation of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, is also dependent on oxidative stress and neuroinflammation chronicization. Currently, the standard symptomatic therapy, based on acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, showed a limited therapeutic potential, whereas disease-modifying treatment strategies are still under extensive research. Previous studies have demonstrated that Oxotremorine-M (Oxo), a non-selective muscarinic acetylcholine receptors agonist, exerts neurotrophic functions in primary neurons, and modulates oxidative stress and …
Human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell line: neurosteroid-producing cell line relying on cytoskeletal organization.
2000
Pregnenolone, the precursor of all steroids, is synthesized by CNS structures. The synthesis requires an obligatory step involving cholesterol transport to mitochondrial cytochrome P450-cholesterol side chain cleavage (cytP450scc), although the underlying mechanism(s) are still mostly unknown. We used the human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell line to investigate cytP450scc expression and activity and to establish a role of cytoskeleton in pregnenolone synthesis. Immunocytochemical and biochemical approaches revealed that undifferentiated as well as differentiated cells either by retinoic acid (RA) or phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), possess cytP450scc and rapidly synthes…
Búsqueda de compuestos con potencial terapéutico para la enfermedad de Parkinson y estudio de la relación entre la enfermedad de Parkinson y la Diabe…
2022
La enfermedad de Parkinson (EP) es la segunda enfermedad neurodegenerativa más frecuente. Actualmente, la EP no tiene cura, y las terapias existentes solo son capaces de tratar los síntomas de esta enfermedad, pero no de ralentizar o de parar su progresión. Con el objetivo de descubrir nuevos fármacos que pudieran ser útiles para tratar esta enfermedad, hemos realizado un rastreo a gran escala, evaluando los compuestos incluidos en la quimioteca Prestwick (1120 compuestos). Para ello, estudiamos el efecto de estos compuestos sobre la actividad motora en un modelo de la EP en Drosophila basado en la mutación del gen DJ-1beta (ortólogo del gen humano DJ-1, cuya mutación es causante de casos f…

COX-2 ekspresijas inducēšana LPS iekaisuma modelī neiroblastomas SH-SY5Y šūnu līnijā
2015
COX-2 ir COX izoenzīms, kas atbild par arahidonskābes metabolismu, sintezējot bioloģiski aktīvus iekaisuma mediatorus – prostanoīdus. Perifērijā COX-2 ir inducējama izoforma, bet smadzenēs – konstitutīva. Šī darba mērķis bija izpētīt LPS spēju inducēt COX-2 ekspresiju neiroblastomas SH-SY5Y šūnās. COX-2 ekspresijas noteikšanai tika izmantota imūnfluorescences metode. Rezultāti uzrādīja SH-SY5Y šūnu morfoloģijas izmaiņas dažādu LPS koncentrāciju (5 – 800 ng/ml) ietekmē. Pētījumā novēroja COX-2 ekspresiju kontroles šūnās normālos apstākļos, LPS koncentrācijā 5 ng/ml COX-2 ekspresijas indukciju, bet koncentrācijā 25 ng/ml un 50 ng/ml – supresiju. Statistiski ticamu rezultātu uzrādīja LPS konce…
