PG - 62-69 LID - S0161-813X(21)00103-0 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.neuro.2021.08.018 [doi] AB - Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complicated multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder. Oxidative stress, neuroinflammatory response, and activation of apoptosis have been proposed to be tightly involved in the pathogenesis of PD. Genkwanin is a typical bioactive non-glycosylated flavonoid with anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activities. However, the effect of genkwanin on PD remains unclear. Cell viability, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, caspase-3/7 activity, and apoptosis was evaluated by MTT, LDH release assay, caspase-3/7 activity assay, and TUNEL assay, respectively. The secretion of prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1beta, and IL-6 were measured by respective commercial ELISA kits. The mRNA expression of TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, and IL-6 was detected by qRT-PCR. The protein levels of cycloxygenase-2 (COX-2), toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), and NOD-like receptor (NLR) protein: 3 (NLRP3) were determined by western blot analysis. Genkwanin at concentrations less than 40 muM had no impact on cell viability and LDH release. Genkwanin suppressed MPP(+)-induced neuroinflammation in SH-SY5Y cells. MPP(+) treatment inhibited cell viability, increased LDH release, apoptosis, and ROS generation, and reduced superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in SH-SY5Y cells, which were abolished by genkwanin treatment. Genkwanin suppressed MPP(+)-induced activation of TLR4/MyD88/NLRP3 inflammasome pathway in SH-SY5Y cells. TLR4 overexpression weakened the anti-inflammatory and anti-neurotoxicity of genkwanin in SH-SY5Y cells. In conclusion, genkwanin attenuated neuroinflammation and neurotoxicity by inhibiting TLR4/MyD88/NLRP3 inflammasome pathway in MPP(+)-induced cellular model of PD. CI - Copyright (c) 2021.
