Abstract
COA-Cl, a novel adenosine-like nucleic acid analog, has recently been shown to exert neuroprotective effects and to increase dopamine levels both in vivo and in vitro. Therefore, we hypothesized that COA-Cl could protect dopaminergic neurons against toxic insults. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the protective effects of COA-Cl against hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)- and 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced toxicity in PC12 cells and to elucidate the possible mechanisms. PC12 cells were incubated with COA-Cl (100 μM) with or without H2O2 or 6-OHDA (200 μM) for 24 h. Treatment with COA-Cl attenuated the decrease in cell viability, SOD activity and the Bcl-2/Bax ratio caused by H2O2. In addition, COA-Cl attenuated the increase in LDH release, ROS production, caspase-3 activity, and apoptosis induced by H2O2. Further, COA-Cl enhanced the protection of PC12 cells against the toxicity caused by 6-OHDA, as evidenced by an increase in cell viability and the Bcl-2/Bax ratio, and a decrease in LDH release. Our results are the first to demonstrate that COA-Cl potentially protects PC12 cells against toxicity induced by H2O2 and 6-OHDA, implying that COA-Cl could be a promising neuroprotective agent for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.

Untargeted Metabolomics Studies of H9c2 Cardiac Cells Submitted to Oxidative Stress, β-Adrenergic Stimulation and Doxorubicin Treatment: Investigation of Cardiac Biomarkers. Front Mol Biosci 2022; 9:898742. [PMID: 35847971 PMCID: PMC9277393 DOI: 10.3389/fmolb.2022.898742] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2022] [Accepted: 05/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
One of the biggest challenges in the search for more effective treatments for diseases is understanding their etiology. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are an important example of this, given the high number of deaths annually. Oxidative stress (the imbalance between oxidant and antioxidant species in biological system) is one of the factors responsible for CVD occurrence, demanding extensive investigation. Excess of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are primarily responsible for this condition, and clinical and scientific literature have reported a significant increase in ROS when therapeutic drugs, such as doxorubicin and isoproterenol, are administered. In this context, the aim of this study is the investigation of potential biomarkers that might be associated with oxidative stress in cardiomyocytes. For this purpose, H9c2 cardiomyocytes were submitted to oxidative stress conditions by treatment with doxorubicin (DOX), isoproterenol (ISO) and hydrogen peroxide (PER). Metabolomics analyses of the cell extract and the supernatant obtained from the culture medium were then evaluated by CE-ESI(+)-TOF-MS. Following signal processing, statistical analyses, and molecular features annotations, the results indicate changes in the aspartate, serine, pantothenic acid, glycerophosphocholine and glutathione metabolism in the cell extract.
