Abstract:

Multiple studies implicate iron accumulation in the substantia nigra in the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson's disease. Indeed, slowing of iron accumulation in cells has been identified as the key point for delaying and treating Parkinson's disease. Myricetin reportedly plays an important role in anti-oxidation, anti-apoptosis, anti-inflammation, and iron chelation. However, the mechanism underlying its neuroprotection remains unclear. In the present study, MES23.5 cells were treated with 1× 10M myricetin for 1 hour, followed by co-treatment with 400 nM rotenone for 24 hours to establish an in vitro cell model of Parkinson's disease. Our results revealed that myricetin alleviated rotenone-induced decreases in cell viability, suppressed the production of intracellular reactive oxygen species, and restored mitochondrial transmembrane potential. In addition, myricetin significantly suppressed rotenone-induced hepcidin gene transcription and partly relieved rotenone-induced inhibition of ferroportin 1 mRNA and protein levels. Furthermore, myricetin inhibited rotenone-induced phosphorylation of STAT3 and SMAD1 in MES23.5 cells. These findings suggest that myricetin protected rotenone-treated MES23.5 cells by potently inhibiting hepcidin expression to prevent iron accumulation, and this effect was mediated by alteration of STAT3 and SMAD1 signaling pathways.
