Resveratrol Promotes Autophagy to Improve neuronal Injury in Parkinson's Disease by Regulating SNHG1/miR-128-3p/SNCA Axis.

Abstract

Parkinson's disease (PD) is seriously threatening the health and life quality of the elderly, who have a high incidence and high disability rate. Resveratrol (RES) was reported to play a protective role in PD. However, the functions and potential mechanism of RES in PD remain unclear, which need to be further explored. Human neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y and SK-N-SH) were subjected to 1-Methyl-4-phenylpyridium (MPP+) induction to construct a cell model of PD. Cell viability was evaluated using CCK-8. The gene expression was evaluated using qRT-PCR and western blot. Luciferase activity assay and RIP were performed to validate interactions among SNHG1, miR-128-3p and SNCA. Our results exhibited that RES reduced SNHG1 and SNCA expression but elevated miR-128-3p expression in human neuroblastoma cells upon MPP+ induction. Functionally, RES resulted in the promotion of cell autophagy in MPP+-induced human neuroblastoma cells, while these influences were abolished by SNHG1 overexpression. Mechanistically, SNHG1 could indirectly elevate SNCA expression via sponging miR-128-3p. Moreover, SNCA overexpression reversed SNHG1 silencing-induced cell autophagy in MPP+-induced human neuroblastoma cells upon RES pre-incubation. RES prevented MPP+-induced repression of cell autophagy through inhibiting the SNHG1/miR-128-3p/SNCA axis, suggesting that RES might play a preventive effect on PD progression.
