Metformin protects PC12 cells against oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion injury.

Abstract:

:Oxidative stress has a causative role in ischemic reperfusion-induced cell death. Evidence has shown that metformin is capable to reduce ischemic reperfusion injuries. The current study investigated the effect of metformin on ischemia/reperfusion-induced apoptosis in PC12 cells by evaluation of Bcl-2 family proteins expression. Cells were exposed to a time-dependent in vitro oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) injury and then treated with metformin. The intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were measured. Western blotting was used to examine the expression of anti- and pro-apoptotic proteins. Moreover, the number of apoptotic cell death was evaluated by TUNEL assay. Our results showed that metformin attenuated ROS generation, downregulated pro-apoptotic BAX expression, and upregulated expression of the Bcl-2 protein in the PC12 cells. Moreover, metformin reduced cell death under OGD/R condition which was confirmed by lower apoptotic cell death in the TUNEL assay. These findings suggest that neuroprotective effect of metformin on OGD/R-induced cell death is possibly mediated by inhibition of ROS-induced apoptosis pathway.
