Abstract

Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the occurrence and development of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Rutin, a natural botanical ingredient, has been shown to have antioxidant properties. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the neuroprotective effects of rutin on PD and the underlying mechanisms. MPP+(1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ions)-treated SH-SY5Y cells were used as an in vitro model of PD. Human PHB2-shRNA lentiviral particles were transfected into SH-SY5Y cells to interfere with the expression of Prohibitin2 (PHB2). The oxidative damage of cells was analyzed by detecting intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression of antioxidant factors such as nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), NADPH quinone oxidoreductase-1 (NQO-1), and mitophagy factors PHB2, translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 20 (TOM20), and LC3II/LC3I (microtubule-associated protein II light chain 3 (LC3II) to microtubule-associated protein I light chain 3 (LC3I)). In addition, we also examined the expression of PHB2 and LC3II/LC3I by immunofluorescence staining. MPP+ treatment significantly increased the generation of ROS and MDA and the level of MMP depolarization and decreased the protein expression of Nrf2, HO-1, NQO1, TOM20, PHB2, and LC3II/LC3I. In MPP+-treated SH-SY5Y cells, rutin significantly decreased the generation of ROS and MDA and the level of MMP depolarization and increased the protein expression of Nrf2, HO-1, NQO-1, TOM20, PHB2, and LC3II/LC3I. However, the protective role of rutin was inhibited in PHB2-silenced cells. Rutin attenuates oxidative damage which may be associated with PHB2-mediated mitophagy in MPP+-induced SH-SY5Y cells. Rutin might be used as a potential drug for the prevention and treatment of PD.
