Neuroprotective responses of quercetin in regulation of biochemical, structural, and neurobehavioral effects in 28-day oral exposure of iron in rats.
Background: Iron is one of the essential metals that functions as a cofactor in various biological cascades in the brain. However, excessive iron accumulation in the brain may lead to neurodegeneration and may show toxic effects. Quercetin, a pigment flavonoid compound, has been proven to be a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory that can inhibit lipid peroxidation during metal-induced neurotoxicity. Although iron-induced neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration have been reported in many studies, but the proof for its exact mechanisms needs to be explored.
Purpose: The key target of the study was to explore the neuroprotective effect of quercetin after oral exposure of iron in rats and explore its underlying molecular mechanisms.
Results: The outcomes of the study have shown that oral exposure to ferrous sulfate may modulate behavioral paradigms such as locomotor activity, neuromuscular coordination, and increased anxiety level. The pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6), apoptotic protein (caspase 3), beta-amyloid and phosphorylated tau were found to be increased on iron exposure. Also, the expressions of ferritin heavy and light chain, BACE-1 and GFAP expressions were altered. These behavioral, structural, and biochemical alterations in the brain were significantly and dose-dependently reversed by treatment with quercetin.
Conclusion: The current study provides a fundamental understanding of molecular signaling pathways, and structural proteins implicated in iron-induced neurotoxicity along with the ameliorative effects of quercetin.
期刊介绍:
Toxicology Mechanisms and Methods is a peer-reviewed journal whose aim is twofold. Firstly, the journal contains original research on subjects dealing with the mechanisms by which foreign chemicals cause toxic tissue injury. Chemical substances of interest include industrial compounds, environmental pollutants, hazardous wastes, drugs, pesticides, and chemical warfare agents. The scope of the journal spans from molecular and cellular mechanisms of action to the consideration of mechanistic evidence in establishing regulatory policy.
Secondly, the journal addresses aspects of the development, validation, and application of new and existing laboratory methods, techniques, and equipment. A variety of research methods are discussed, including:
In vivo studies with standard and alternative species
In vitro studies and alternative methodologies
Molecular, biochemical, and cellular techniques
Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics
Mathematical modeling and computer programs
Forensic analyses
Risk assessment
Data collection and analysis.
