Abstract

Lithocarpus polystachyus Rehd. (sweet tea; ST) leaves is a type of Chinese folkloric medicine from southern China. The purpose of the present study was to explore the neuroprotective effect of ST, and to explore its underlying mechanisms in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)‑induced neuronal cell injury in cultured human neuroblastoma. H2O2 was used as oxidant inducer and human SH‑SY5Y neuroblastoma cells were treated with various concentrations of ST. Cell viability and cell death were detected using MTT and LDH assays, respectively. Additionally, the production of intracellular and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) were determined by 2',7'‑dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH‑DA) and MitoSOX Red, respectively. The production of malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH) level, glutathione peroxidase (GSH‑Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities, and NAD+/NADH ratio were confirmed using relevant kits. The expression of adenosine monophosphate‑activated protein kinase (AMPK), peroxisome proliferator‑activated receptor coactivator (PGC)‑1α, Sirt3, isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)2, forkhead boxO3a (Foxo3a), and SOD2 were analyzed by western blot analysis. It was demonstrated that pre‑treatment with ST enhanced cell viability and repressed cell death, and it also reduced intracellular and mitochondrial ROS accumulation. Additionally, ST attenuated MDA production and enhanced GSH level, GSH‑Px and SOD activities. Furthermore, ST not only increased NAD+/NADH ratio, but also inhibited the decrease of AMPK, PGC‑1α, Sirt3, IDH2, Foxo3a, and SOD2. The present study revealed that ST exerts protective effects against oxidative stress‑induced SH‑SY5Y cells injury, and the underlying mechanisms are, at least partly, associated with its antioxidant capacity and function through mitochondrial Sirt3 signaling pathway.
