Effect of Bushen Huoxue Granule on Clearance of Pathological α-Synuclein in MPP+-Induced PC12 Cells
摘要
Abstract
Objective:
2
To investigate the effects of Bushen Huoxue Granule on the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) in an
in vitro
model of Parkinson's disease.
Methods:
2
After treated with 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP
+
1 mmol/L) for 24 h
the cells were incubated with drug-free serum
Madopar-containing serum or Bushen Huoxue Granule-containing serum (BCS
5%
10%
and 20%) for another 24 h. The levels of α-synuclein (α-syn)
tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and UPS-related proteins were detected by Western blot. The expression levels of α-syn in PC12 cells were also analyzed by Western blot after treated with proteasome inhibitor MG132 and WT-α-syn plasmid transfection
respectively
as well as the alterations induced by subsequent BCS intervention. Immunocytochemistry was performed to determine the changes in α-syn phosphorylation at serine 129 (pSer129-α-syn) expression. The 20S proteasome levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbnent assay.
Results:
2
BCS (volume fraction 20%) intervention could alleviate the MMP
+
-induced cell viability decrease (
P
<
0.05). In the MPP
+
treated cells
α-syn was up-regulated
while TH and proteins of UPS such as ubiquitin (Ub)
Ub binding with Ub-activating enzyme (UBE1)
Parkin and Ub C-terminal hydrolase-1 (UCHL-1) were down-regulated (
P
<
0.05). BCS intervention could attenuate the above changes (
P
<
0.05). The activity of BCS on blocking α-syn accumulation was weakened by MG132 (
P
<
0.05). While α-syn level was significantly increased in cells transfected with plasmid
