Abstract

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the role and mechanism of steroid receptor coactivator-interacting protein (SIP) in an astrocyte model of 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP⁺)-induced Parkinson's disease. MATERIAL AND METHODS To perform our study, a Parkinson's disease cell model was established by treating the rat glioblastoma cell line C6 with MPP⁺. SIP was overexpressed in C6 cells using SIP-plasmid. Cell viability and apoptosis were analyzed using MTT assay and flow cytometer respectively. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and interleukin (IL)-1ß levels were detected using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay and quantitative reverse transcription PCR. Besides, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme activity were determined in the present study. For protein and mRNA detection, western blot assay, and qRT-PCR were performed respectively. RESULTS SIP was decreased in MPP⁺-induced C6 cells. SIP overexpression relieved MPP⁺-induced cytotoxicity of C6 cells, displayed as increased cell viability and reduced cell apoptosis and reduced LDH release. Besides, SIP inhibited MPP⁺-induced inflammatory response and oxidative stress, evidenced...Continue Reading

Astrocytes

Astrocytes are glial cells that support the blood-brain barrier, facilitate neurotransmission, provide nutrients to neurons, and help repair damaged nervous tissues. Here is the latest research.

Astrocytes in Parkinson Disease

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons. Some PD-genes may be associated with astrocyte dysfunction. Discover the latest research on astrocytes in Parkinson's disease here.

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
