PG - 3933-3946 LID - 10.1007/s12035-022-02828-0 [doi] AB - Overconsumption of alcohol damages brain tissue and causes cognitive dysfunction. It has been suggested that the neurotoxicity caused by excessive alcohol consumption is largely mediated by acetaldehyde, the most toxic metabolite of ethanol. Evidence shows that acetaldehyde impairs mitochondrial function and induces cytotoxicity of neuronal cells; however, the exact mechanisms are not fully understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of mitophagy in acetaldehyde-induced cytotoxicity. It was found that acetaldehyde treatment induced mitophagic responses and caused cytotoxicity in SH-SY5Y cells. The levels of light chain 3 (LC3)-II, Beclin1, autophagy-related protein (Atg) 5 and Atg16L1, PTEN-induced putative kinase (PINK)1, and Parkin were significantly elevated, while the level of p62 was reduced in acetaldehyde-treated cells. Acetaldehyde also promoted the accumulation of PINK1 and Parkin on mitochondria and caused a remarkable decrease of mitochondrial mass. Treatment with autophagy inhibitors prevented the decline of mitochondrial mass and alleviated the cytotoxicity induced by acetaldehyde, suggesting that overactive mitophagy might be an important mechanism contributing to acetaldehyde-induced cytotoxicity. Antioxidant N-acetyl-L-cysteine significantly attenuated the mitophagic responses and alleviated the cytotoxicity induced by acetaldehyde, indicating that oxidative stress was a major mediator of the excessive mitophagy induced by acetaldehyde. Taken together, these findings provided new insights into the role of mitophagy and oxidative stress in acetaldehyde-induced cytotoxicity. CI - (c) 2022.
