Cathepsin B mediates the lysosomal-mitochondrial apoptosis pathway in arsenic-induced microglial cell injury.
Arsenic is a prevalent environmental pollutant that targets the nervous system of living beings. Recent studies indicated that microglial injury could contribute to neuroinflammation and is associated with neuronal damage. Nevertheless, the neurotoxic mechanism underlying the arsenic-induced microglial injury requires additional research. This study explores whether cathepsin B promotes microglia cell damage caused by NaAsO2. Through CCK-8 assay and Annexin V-FITC and PI staining, we discovered that NaAsO2 induced apoptosis in BV2 cells (a microglia cell line). NaAsO2 was verified to increase mitochondrial membrane permeabilization (MMP) and promote the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) through JC-1 staining and DCFDA assay, respectively. Mechanically, NaAsO2 was indicated to increase the expression of cathepsin B, which could stimulate pro-apoptotic molecule Bid into the activated form, tBid, and increase lysosomal membrane permeabilization by Immunofluorescence and Western blot assessment. Subsequently, apoptotic signaling downstream of increased mitochondrial membrane permeabilization was activated, promoting caspase activation and microglial apoptosis. Cathepsin B inhibitor CA074-Me could mitigate the damage of microglial. In general, we found that NaAsO2 induced microglia apoptosis and depended on the role of the cathepsin B-mediated lysosomal-mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. Our findings provided new insight into NaAsO2-induced neurological damage.
期刊介绍:
Human and Experimental Toxicology (HET), an international peer reviewed journal, is dedicated to publishing preclinical and clinical original research papers and in-depth reviews that comprehensively cover studies of functional, biochemical and structural disorders in toxicology. The principal aim of the HET is to publish timely high impact hypothesis driven scholarly work with an international scope. The journal publishes on: Structural, functional, biochemical, and molecular effects of toxic agents; Studies that address mechanisms/modes of toxicity; Safety evaluation of novel chemical, biotechnologically-derived products, and nanomaterials for human health assessment including statistical and mechanism-based approaches; Novel methods or approaches to research on animal and human tissues (medical and veterinary patients) investigating functional, biochemical and structural disorder; in vitro techniques, particularly those supporting alternative methods
