PG - S109-S124 LID - 10.3233/JAD-220793 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease (PD) is an age-related progressive multifactorial, neurodegenerative disease. The autophagy and Keap1-Nrf2 axis system are both implicated in the oxidative-stress response, metabolic stress, and innate immunity, and their dysregulation is associated with pathogenic processes in PD. Phloretin (PLT) is a phenolic compound reported possessing anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the neuroprotective potential of PLT in PD via modulating the autophagy-antioxidant axisMethods:The neuroprotective effect of PLT was evaluated in vitro using rotenone (ROT) exposed SH-SY5Y cell line and in vivo using ROT administered C57BL/6 mice. Mice were administered with PLT (50 and 100 mg/kg, p.o.) concomitantly with ROT (1 mg/kg, i.p) for 3 weeks. Locomotive activity and anxiety behaviors were assessed using rotarod and open field tests respectively. Further apoptosis (Cytochrome-C, Bax), alpha-Synuclein (alpha-SYN), tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), antioxidant proteins (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and autophagic (mTOR, Atg5,7, p62, Beclin,LC3B-I/II) protein activity were evaluated both in in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS: PLT improved locomotive activity and anxiety-like behavior in mice. Further PLT diminished apoptotic cell death, alpha-SYN expression and improved the expression of TH, antioxidant, and autophagic regulating protein. CONCLUSION: Taken together, present data deciphers that the PLT effectively improves motor and non-motor symptoms via modulating the mTOR/NRF2/p62 pathway-mediated feedback loop. Hence, PLT could emerge as a prospective disease-modifying drug for PD management.
