PG - 785-790 LID - 10.1007/s11596-016-1662-z [doi] AB - Neurofibrillary pathology of abnormally hyperphosphorylated tau is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other tauopathies. Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (GSK-3beta) signaling pathway is pivotal for tau phosphorylation. Inhibition of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) metabolism has been shown to effectively increase the accumulation of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), which are cytochrome P450 metabolites of arachidonic acid and have been demonstrated to have neuroprotective effects. However, little is known about the role of sEH in tau phosphorylation. The present study investigated the role of a sEH inhibitor, 1-(1-propanoylpiperidin-4-yl)-3-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl] urea (TPPU), on H(2)O(2)-induced tau phosphorylation and the underlying signaling pathway in human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293)/Tau cells. We found that the cell viability was increased after TPPU treatment compared to control in oxidative stress. Western blotting and immunofluorescence results showed that the levels of phosphorylated tau at Thr231 and Ser396 sites were increased in H(2)O(2)-treated cells but dropped to normal levels after TPPU administration. H(2)O(2) induced an obvious decreased phosphorylation of GSK-3beta at Ser9, an inactive form of GSK-3beta, while there were no changes of phosphorylation of GSK-3beta at Tyr216. TPPU pretreatment maintained GSK-3beta Ser 9 phosphorylation. Moreover, Western blotting results showed that TPPU upregulated the expression of p-Akt. The protective effects of TPPU were found to be inhibited by wortmannin (WT, a specific PI3K inhibitor). In conclusion, these results suggested that the protective effect of TPPU on H(2)O(2)-induced oxidative stress is associated with PI3K/Akt/GSK-3beta pathway.
