Abstract |
Proanthocyanidins (PA) are natural flavonoids widely present in many vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds, and especially in grape seed. In the present study, we examined the neuroprotective effects of PA and the underlying molecular mechanism in rotenone model of Parkinson's disease (PD). We found that pretreatment with PA significantly reduced rotenone-induced oxidative stress in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y dopaminergic cells. In addition, PA markedly enhanced cell viability against rotenone neurotoxicity and considerably blocked rotenone-induced activation of caspase-9, caspase-3, and cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), biochemical features of apoptosis. Further study demonstrated that the anti-apoptotic effect of PA was mediated by suppressing p38, JNK, and ERK signaling, and inhibitors of these three signaling pathways reproduced the protective effect of PA separately. In summary, our results demonstrated that PA mitigated rotenone-induced ROS generation and antagonized apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells by inhibiting p38, JNK, and ERK signaling pathways, and it may provide a new insight of PA in PD therapy. |
