Parkinson's disease (PD), a common neurodegenerative disease is characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. PD is an age related neurodegenerative disorder believed to originate in part via reactive oxygen species overproduction, leading to oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction [1]. Paraquat (PQ2+), a widely used herbicide, is an oxidative stress inducer that has been implicated as a potential risk factor for the development of PD [2]. Scenedesmus sp. have been suggested for human nutraceutical application due to their content of the nutritious fatty acids and antioxidant pigments like astaxanthin, Ξ²-carotene, lutein and other vitamins. These pigments are naturally occurring polyphenolic compounds that display a variety of therapeutic properties in oxidative stress [3].
The effect of Scenedesmus rubens (single cell, green algae) DMSO-extract (SCO) on PQ2+-induced cellular toxicity was evaluated by measuring cell viability by MTT assay and cellular ATP production by bioluminescent luciferase assay (FLAAM) in SH-SY5Y cells after 3 days of PQ2+ treatment. Direct mitochondrial effects of PQ2+ vs SCO was evaluated in intact murine brain mitochondria by monitoring basal and succinate induced ROS production (Amplex Red + HRP); ΞΞ¨mt (TMRE); NADH-level by its endogenous fluorescence; Complex III activity by cytC.
SCO treatment increased the viability of PQ2+ exposed SH-SY5Y cells and elevated cellular ATP levels in State 3. PQ2+ -induced elevation of basal and succinate-mediated ROS production and decrease of complex III activity was ameliorated by SCO. Succinate induced mitochondrial NADH increase was not challenged by PQ2+ but it was decreased by SCO suggesting inhibition of RET.
In conclusion, hydrophobic molecular species of Scenedesmus rubescens may exhibit neuroprotection against PQ2+-induced neurotoxicity and one of the potential explanantions is a bypass of mitochondrial electron flow that can be therapeutically beneficial in Parkinson's disease but also in vascular diseases affected by ischemia / reperfusion.
