Tetramethylpyrazine has shown neuroprotective and axonal outgrowth-promoting effects and can improve cognitive deficit in a rat model of chronic hypoperfusion. However, the role of tetramethylpyrazine in sevoflurane-induced neurotoxicity is still vague. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the effects and mechanisms of tetramethylpyrazine on sevoflurane-induced autophagy, apoptosis, and the expression of BACE1 and A[Formula: see text] in SH-SY5Y cells. We measured the expression levels of the apoptosis protein markers Bax and Bcl-2, autophagy protein markers Atg5 and LC3-II, BACE1, and A[Formula: see text] in SH-SY5Y cells after sevoflurane treatment and determined the effects of tetramethylpyrazine on sevoflurane-induced expression of these proteins after silencing GPR50 or Atg5 with siRNA in vitro . We found that exposure to 3.4% sevoflurane for 6 h decreased the expression of autophagy protein markers and increased the expression of the apoptosis protein markers, BACE1, and A[Formula: see text] in SH-SY5Y cells. The number of red puncta (autolysosomes) and yellow puncta (autophagosomes) in each SH-SY5Y cell decreased after transient transfection with the mRFP-GFP-LC3 expression plasmid. Silencing of GPR50 decreased the expression of pCREB, Atg5, and LC3-II, while silencing of Atg5 increased the expression of BACE1 and A[Formula: see text] in SH-SY5Y cells. Our results demonstrate that tetramethylpyrazine attenuated sevoflurane-induced neurotoxicity by enhancing autophagy through the GPR50/CREB pathway in SH-SY5Y cells. |
