Proteasome inhibitors induce apoptosis by superoxide anion generation via NADPH oxidase 5 in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells.
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences 2024 June
The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is a major proteolytic system that plays an important role in the regulation of various cell processes, such as cell cycle, stress response, and transcriptional regulation, especially in neurons, and dysfunction of UPS is considered to be a cause of neuronal cell death in neurodegenerative diseases. However, the mechanism of neuronal cell death caused by UPS dysfunction has not yet been fully elucidated. In this study, we investigated the mechanism of neuronal cell death induced by proteasome inhibitors using human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. Z-Leu-D-Leu-Leu-al (MG132), a proteasome inhibitor, induced apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Antioxidants N-acetylcysteine and EUK-8 attenuated MG132-induced apoptosis. Apocynin and diphenyleneiodonium, inhibitors of NADPH oxidase (NOX), an enzyme that produces superoxide anions, also attenuated MG132-induced apoptosis. It was also found that MG132 treatment increased the expression of NOX5, a NOX family member, and that siRNA-mediated silencing of NOX5 and BAPTA-AM, which inhibits NOX5 by chelating calcium, suppressed MG132-induced apoptosis and production of reactive oxygen species in SH-SY5Y cells. These results suggest that MG132 induces apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells through the production of superoxide anion by NOX5.
