Objective To explore the effects of glutamate on mitophagy and apoptosis in HT22 cells and evaluate the protective effects and molecular mechanisms of astaxanthin pretreatment.Methods HT22 cells were treated with glutamate and astaxanthin.The effects on mitophagy were assessed using Western Blot and PCR.Results Glutamate treatment significantly inhibited primary mitophagy(PINK1,Parkin,pULK1ser555 and LC3II)and secondary mitophagy(LAMP1 and Rab7)while upregulating cleaved Caspase-3 expression.Astaxanthin pretreatment notably reduced apoptosis and restored mitophagy,the expression levels of PINK1,Parkin,pULK1ser555 and LC3II were significantly upregulated(by 2.3-fold,2.6-fold,83.3% and 81.1% respectively,P<0.05),but this effect was blocked by the autophagy inhibitor BafA1.Additionally,glutamate suppressed Nrf2 nuclear translocation and NLRX1 expression,whereas astaxanthin promoted Nrf2 nuclear translocation and increased NLRX1 expression by 25.8% and 33.2%,respectively.Bioinformatics analysis revealed three Nrf2 binding sites in the NLRX1 promoter region,suggesting that Nrf2 may regulate NLRX1 transcriptional activity.Conclusions The study demonstrates that astaxanthin exhibited potential neuroprotective effect by activating mitophagy through the Nrf2/NLRX1 pathway.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of polyphyllin I(PPI)on chronic myeloid leukemia cells(K562)and its possible mechanism.Methods K562 cell line was cultured in suitable environment,and the optimal concentration of the drug was screened by CCK-8 method.The optimal concentration of the drug cultured for 24 hours was used as the intervention concentration of the follow-up experiment.Cells were divided into the following groups:(1)blank group,(2)saponins group,(3)inhibitor group and(4)saponins + inhibitor group.The cell proliferation rate was detected by CCK-8 method.The cell morphology was observed by AO/EB staining.The apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry.The contents of reactive oxygen species(ROS),glutathione(GSH)and ferrous(Fe2+)in different groups were detected,and the expression of mRNA and protein in different groups were detected by qRT- PCR and Western blot respectively.Results PPI significantly inhibited the growth of K562 cells in a dose-and time-dependent manner.Compared with the blank group,PPI significantly inhibited the proliferation of K562 cells and increased the apoptosis rate of K562 cells,while the use of ferroptosis inhibitor(Ferrostian-1)reversed the promoting effect of PPI on apoptosis of K562 cells.Compared with the blank group,the contents of reactive oxygen species(ROS)and ferrous iron(Fe2+)increased and the content of glutathione(GSH)decreased in the saponins group.The use of Ferrostian-1 could down-regulate the contents of ROS and Fe2+ and increase the content of GSH in the cells treated with the drug.Compared with the blank group,the expression of p53 mRNA and protein in the saponins group increased,while the expression of SLC7A11,GPX4 mRNA and protein decreased.The expression of p53 mRNA and protein in the saponins + inhibitor group was lower than that in the saponins group,while the expression levels of SLC7A11,GPX4 mRNA and protein increased.Conclusions PPI can effectively inhibit the proliferation of K562 cells and promote ferroptosis in K562 cells.The molecular mechanism can be related to the regulation of p53 signal pathway.
