Abstract

6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced apoptosis in dopaminergic neuronal cells is a common cell model of Parkinson's disease (PD). The role of apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) in this model has not been well studied. We observed significant activation of ASK1, p38 and JNK, as well as apoptosis in human dopaminergic neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells exposed to 6-OHDA. Over-expressing kinase-dead mutant ASK1(K709M) or knock-down of endogenous ASK1 by its small interfering RNA (siRNA) greatly suppressed activation of these kinases and apoptosis in the cells. It was found that the activation of p38 and JNK was suppressed to almost the same extent as that of ASK1 in the ASK1-knock-down cells, suggesting that activated ASK1 is almost totally responsible for activation of p38/JNK. It was also observed that the 6-OHDA-induced cell apoptosis could be effectively prevented by over-expressing the dominant-negative mutant of p38 or p38 inhibitor SB203580, demonstrating that activation of p38/JNK signalling is required for initiating the programmed cell death. Furthermore, suppression of the 6-OHDA-generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) by pre-incubation of cells with N-acetyl-L-cysteine effectively inhibited the 6-OHDA-induced activatio...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Basal Ganglia

Basal Ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei in the brain associated with control of voluntary motor movements, procedural and habit learning, emotion, and cognition. Here is the latest research.
