PG - 374-381 LID - 10.1080/10826068.2023.2243506 [doi] AB - Antioxidants may affect the apoptosis induced by oxidative stress experimental models. The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of astaxanthin on expression of apoptosis and oxidative stress-related genes in H(2)O(2) induced oxidative stress BE(2)-C human neuroblastoma cell line. This experimental study consisted of six groups including control, H(2)O(2) induced oxidative stress control, 100 mM vitamin C intervention, 25 muM astaxanthin intervention (Ax1), 50 muM astaxanthin intervention (Ax2) and 100 muM astaxanthin intervention (Ax3). Real-time PCR was used to study the expression of BAX, BCL2, Caspase3 (CAS3), P53, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX), catalase (CAT) and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2). According to the results, among the apoptosis-related genes, CAS3 was down-regulated in groups vitamin C, Ax1 and Ax2 compared with H(2)O(2) group, while P53 was down-regulated only in group vitamin C (P < 0.05). Among the oxidative stress-related genes, GPX was up-regulated in groups Ax1, Ax2 and Ax3 compared with H(2)O(2) group, while all the experimental groups showed up-regulation for CAT and NRF2 (P < 0.05). In conclusion, astaxanthin as a powerful antioxidant could inhibit apoptosis via amelioration of CAS3 gene which might be through amelioration of some antioxidant-related genes.
