ABSTRACT: Objective
Mitochondrial dysfunction is evident in the early stage of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Therefore development of drugs that protect mitochondrial function is a promising strategy for AD. The present work was to investigate the effects of 2, 3, 5, 4'-Tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-d-glucosides (TSG) on a mitochondrial dysfunction cell model induced by sodium azide and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.Methods
Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was detected by a fluorescence method. Cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) level was measured using a firefly luciferase-based kit. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) was detected using dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCFH-DA). The expression levels of Bcl-2 and Bax were measured by Western blotting assay. Flow cytometry was utilized to measure apoptosis.Results
Pretreatment of TSG (25-200 μmol/L) for 24 h significantly elevated MMP and ATP content, reduced ROS level and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, and inhibited apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells exposed to sodium azide.Conclusion
These results suggest that TSG protects SH-SY5Y cells against sodium azide-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis. These findings are helpful to understand the protective effect of TSG on mitochondria, which are involved in the early stage of AD.
