Abstract
Isoquercitrin (ISO) is a traditional Chinese medicine extract, that has been found to possess potent neuroprotective properties. However, its precise role in the context of ischemic stroke (IS) remains to be fully elucidated. We constructed an in vitro model of IS induced by OGD/R in SH-SY5Y cells. Cell viability, the levels of oxidative stress-related indicators (8-OHDG, MDA, SOD, GSH, and GSH-Px), ROS, and mitochondrial membrane potential were measured by using detection kits. The protein levels of GPX1, SOD, Cytc were measured. The mRNA levels of mitochondrial biogenesis-related indicators (Cytb, CO1, ND2, ND5, and ND6), and mtDNA copy number were measured by RT-qPCR. ATP levels were measured. Molecular docking between ISO and NRF1, and Co-IP assay for NRF1 and TFAM interaction were performed. Expression of NRF1 and TFAM was evaluated. ISO treatment reversed the detrimental effects of OGD/R on cell viability, attenuated the elevation of oxidative stress markers, restored antioxidant levels, and alleviated the impairment of mitochondrial biogenesis in SH-SY5Y cells. ISO interacted with NRF1 and increased its expression along with TFAM. Silencing NRF1 reversed the protective effects of ISO, suggesting its involvement in mediating the neuroprotective effects of ISO. ISO alleviates oxidative stress and mitochondrial biogenesis damage induced by OGD/R in SH-SY5Y cells by upregulating the NRF1/TFAM pathway.
