Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a type of chronic neurodegenerative disorder. There is an ongoing need for the development of new medications to address this illness. Loureirin C is known to have a protective impact on neurological disorders. Nonetheless, its specific function in Parkinson's Disease (PD) has yet to be fully understood. In this study, we examined the effects of Loureirin C in a cellular model of PD. The PD cell model was established by treating PC-12 cells with 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA). We revealed that Loureirin C promoted the growth of 6-OHDA-treated PC-12 cells. In addition, Loureirin C suppressed the apoptosis of 6-OHDA-treated PC-12 cells and alleviated ferroptosis. Further, Loureirin C improved mitochondrial membrane potential in 6-OHDA-treated PC-12 cells. Mechanically, Loureirin C mediated Nrf2 pathway. Accordingly, Loureirin C not only inhibits ferroptosis but also apoptosis in the 6-OHDA-induced PD cell model, leading us to consider the potential value of Loureirin C in the treatment of PD.
期刊介绍:
Tissue and Cell is devoted to original research on the organization of cells, subcellular and extracellular components at all levels, including the grouping and interrelations of cells in tissues and organs. The journal encourages submission of ultrastructural studies that provide novel insights into structure, function and physiology of cells and tissues, in health and disease. Bioengineering and stem cells studies focused on the description of morphological and/or histological data are also welcomed.
Studies investigating the effect of compounds and/or substances on structure of cells and tissues are generally outside the scope of this journal. For consideration, studies should contain a clear rationale on the use of (a) given substance(s), have a compelling morphological and structural focus and present novel incremental findings from previous literature.
