摘要
A reliable in vitro cytotoxic system is essential in neurocytotoxic and neuroprotective research. The present study examined four cytotoxic insults with the SK-N-SH human neuroblastoma cell line. These were beta-amyloid protein (Abeta), 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), high density culture, and serum deprivation induced neuronal death. These insults induced significant reduction in cell numbers after 96 h culture, in a concentration dependent manner. Among all the insults, MPTP, serum deprivation, and high density culture induced apoptosis after 96 h, while Abeta presumably induced necrotic neuronal death since apoptosis was not detectable. The p38 MAP kinase inhibitor, SB203580 (1 muM), and the PKC inhibitor, chelerythrine (5 muM) successfully inhibited the loss in viability caused by Abeta and the high density culture, respectively. Other kinase inhibitors, including the non-specific protein kinase inhibitor, H7, the PKA inhibitor 14-22 Amide, the PKG inhibitor, KT5823, and the protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor, AG18 had no effect on any of the four cytotoxic models. This system allows the study of neuroprotection under conditions where the different pathways and mechanisms of the neurons can be considered within one cellular system, removing variations which may be due to different cell type studied. The present studies describe an effective model system for screening potential neuroprotective ;agents. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
