Objective: To investigate the effect and mechanism of Dihuang Yinzi-medicated serum on endoplasmic reticulum stress induced by glucose deprivation in SH-SY5Y cells. Method: SD rats were intragastrically administrated with Dihuang Yinzi at dosage of 10 times of the adult clinical dose to prepare Dihuang Yinzi-medicated serum. SH-SY5Y cells were deprivated by glucose for 6 h and then incubated with medium containing Dihuang Yinzi-medicated serum at concentrations of 0
1.25%
2.50%
5.00% and 10.00%
respectively. The cell viability was detected by methythiazol tetrazolium (MTT). The phosphorylation of protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) and eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (eIF2α)
B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) expression levels were detected by Western blot. Annexin V/propidium iodide(PI) double staining flow cytometry were performed to detect the apoptotic rate. Result: As compared with the model group
Dihuang Yinzi-medicated serum could significantly increase the survival rate of SH-SY5Y cells deprived of glucose (P<0.01)
significantly reduce the phosphorylation of PERK and eIF2α (P<0.05
P<0.01)
increase the level of Bcl-2 and decrease the expression of Bax (P<0.05
P<0.01). Dihuang Yinzi-medicated serum could also inhibit apoptosis (P<0.05
P<0.01) induced by energy-deprivation in SH-SY5Y cells. Conclusion: Dihuang Yinzi-medicated serum can reduce the activation of PERK/eIF2α pathway and inhibit the apoptosis caused by energy deprivation-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress.
