Abstract
Aim: To compare free and nanoparticle (NP)-encapsulated epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) for the treatment of Huntington's disease (HD)-like symptoms in mice. Materials & methods: EGCG was incorporated into PEGylated poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid NPs with ascorbic acid (AA). HD-like striatal lesions and motor deficit were induced in mice by 3-nitropropionic acid-intoxication. EGCG and EGCG/AA NPs were co-administered and behavioral motor assessments and striatal histology performed after 5 days. Results: EGCG/AA NPs were significantly more effective than free EGCG in reducing motor disturbances and depression-like behavior associated with 3-nitropropionic acid toxicity. EGCG/AA NPs treatment also mitigated neuroinflammation and prevented neuronal loss. Conclusion: NP encapsulation enhances therapeutic robustness of EGCG in this model of HD symptomatology. Together with our previous findings, this highlights the potential of EGCG/AA NPs in the symptomatic treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Mammalian aldehyde dehydrogenase 7A1 (ALDH7A1) is homologous to plant ALDH7B1 which protects against various forms of stress such as increased salinity, dehydration and treatment with oxidants or pesticides. Deleterious mutations in human ALDH7A1 are responsible for pyridoxine-dependent and folinic acid-responsive seizures. In previous studies, we have shown that human ALDH7A1 protects against hyperosmotic stress presumably through the generation of betaine, an important cellular osmolyte, formed from betaine aldehyde. Hyperosmotic stress is coupled to an increase in oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation (LPO). In this study, cell viability assays revealed that stable expression of mitochondrial ALDH7A1 in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells provides significant protection against treatment with the LPO-derived aldehydes hexanal and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4HNE) implicating a protective function for the enzyme during oxidative stress. A significant increase in cell survival was also observed in CHO cells expressing either mitochondrial or cytosolic ALDH7A1 treated with increasing concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) or 4HNE, providing further evidence for anti-oxidant activity. In vitro enzyme activity assays indicate that human ALDH7A1 is sensitive to oxidation and that efficiency can be at least partially restored by incubating recombinant protein with the thiol reducing agent β-mercaptoethanol (BME). We also show that after reactivation with BME, recombinant ALDH7A1 is capable of metabolizing the reactive aldehyde 4HNE. In conclusion, ALDH7A1 mechanistically appears to provide cells protection through multiple pathways including the removal of toxic LPO-derived aldehydes in addition to osmolyte generation.

Abstract
A series of C7-O- and C20-O-amidated 2,3-dehydrosilybin (DHS) derivatives ((+/-)-1a-f and (+/-)-2), as well as a set of alkenylated DHS analogues ((+/-)-4a-f), were designed and de novo synthesized. A diesteric derivative of DHS ((+/-)-3) and two C23 esterified DHS analogues ((+/-)-5a and (+/-)-5b) were also prepared for comparison. The cell viability of PC12 cells, Fe(2+) chelation, lipid peroxidation (LPO), free radical scavenging, and xanthine oxidase inhibition models were utilized to evaluate their antioxidative and neuron protective properties. The study revealed that the diether at C7-OH and C20-OH as well as the monoether at C7-OH, which possess aliphatic substituted acetamides, demonstrated more potent LPO inhibition and Fe(2+) chelation compared to DHS and quercetin. Conversely, the diallyl ether at C7-OH and C20-OH was more potent in protection of PC12 cells against H(2)O(2)-induced injury than DHS and quercetin. Overall, the more lipophilic alkenylated DHS analogues were better performing neuroprotective agents than the acetamidated derivatives. The results in this study would be beneficial for optimizing the therapeutic potential of lignoflavonoids, especially in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
Apoptosis mediates the precise and programmed natural death of neurons and is a physiologically important process in neurogenesis during maturation of the central nervous system. However, premature apoptosis and/or an aberration in apoptosis regulation is implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegeneration, a multifaceted process that leads to various chronic disease states, such as Alzheimer's (AD), Parkinson's (PD), Huntington's (HD) diseases, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), and diabetic encephalopathy. The current review focuses on two major areas (a) the fundamentals of apoptosis, which includes elements of the apoptotic machinery, apoptosis inducers, and emerging concepts in apoptosis research, and (b) apoptotic involvement in neurodegenerative disorders, neuroprotective treatment strategies/modalities, and the mechanisms of, and signaling in, neuronal apoptosis. Current and new experimental models for apoptosis research in neurodegenerative diseases are also discussed.

Abstract
In order to specifically elucidate the involvement of oxidative stress, the effects of various types of stressors and antioxidants on PC12 cells were examined. In this study, the following four stressors were studied in detail: free radicals generated from 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH), 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE), 7-ketocholesterol (KC), and arsenic trioxide (As2O3). Undifferentiated PC12 cells were treated with 50% lethal concentration (LC50) of these stressors, and subsequently the viability, apoptosis/necrosis ratio, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, caspase-3 activity, and protection by antioxidants were measured to elucidate the underlying mechanisms that determine the action of these stressors on PC12 cells. The cytotoxicity did not correlate directly with the intracellular formation of ROS. For example, as compared to AAPH, As2O3 produced considerably smaller amounts of ROS at LC50. As observed in the cells incubated with As2O3, KC and HNE exerted cell toxicity, but with a moderate production of ROS. With the exception of HNE, the apoptosis/necrosis ratio of all the stressors evaluated by annexin V and propidium iodide assays increased with an increase in the incubation time at the LC50 values of these stressors. In accordance with apoptosis ratio, caspase activity was detected in the cells incubated with AAPH, As2O3, and KC, but not HNE at LC50 for 24 h. The protective effect of alpha-tocopherol, 17beta-estradiol, 2,3-dihydro-5-hydroxy-2,2-dipentyl-4,6-di-tert-butylbenzofuran (BO653), glutathione, and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) against cytotoxicity depended on the type of stressors. These antioxidants were found to be effective against the abovementioned stressors, except As2O3 against which only NAC was effective. These results suggest that the involvement of ROS and the protective effect of antioxidants depend on the type of stressors.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important mediators in a number of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). The neuroprotective effects of flavonoids from the stems and leaves of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (SSF) against hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced rat pheochromocytoma line PC12 injury were evaluated by cell lesion, free radicals and ATPase disorders. Following a 30 min exposure of the cells to H2O2 (100 microm), a marked decrease in cell survival and activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and Na+-K+-ATPase as well as an increase of malondialdehyde (MDA) production and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release were observed. Pretreatment of the cells with SSF (18-76 microg/mL) prior to H2O2 exposure notably elevated the cell survival and activity of SOD and Na+-K+-ATPase, and lowered the MDA level and LDH release. Neuroprotection by SSF was also observed in animal models. The present results indicated that SSF exerts neuroprotective effects against H2O2 toxicity, which might be of importance and might contribute to its clinical efficacy for the treatment of neurodegenerative disease.

Abstract
Salidroside (Sald), was extracted from Rhodiola rosea L, a traditional Chinese medicine which has been used for long time for anti-aging, anti-cancer and anti-oxidative stress etc. In present experiment, salidroside could protect the PC12 cell against injuries caused by exposure of PC12 cells to 2 mmol/L glutamate for 15 min followed by incubation with serum-free medium for 24 h, which resembled the excitotoxin in vivo system. Furthermore, saldroside could decrease the [Ca2+]i of PC12 cells in Mg2+-free Hanks' solution and D-Hanks' solution but there was no effect on basal [Ca2+]i in Hanks' solution. The studies also indicated that salidroside inhibited the increases of [Ca2+]i induced by KCl and glutamate. In conclusion, salidroside may protect PC12 cell against glutamate excitotoxic damage through suppressing the excessive entry of Ca2+ and the release of the calcium stores.

Abstract
We previously showed that tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBH) induced apoptosis in naïve rat pheochromocytoma (nPC12) cells that correlated with cellular redox imbalance and mitochondrial apoptotic signaling. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that differentiation of nPC12 cells results in altered susceptibility to TBH utilizing a model of differentiated PC12 (dPC12) cells induced by nerve growth factor. TBH (100 microM) induced dPC12 apoptosis (12% at 24 h) at levels lower than naïve cells (35%). This resistance was associated with elevated GSH, NADPH (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate), TBH metabolism, redox enzyme activities, reduced cellular GSH/GSSG (glutathione disulfide) status and preservation of mitochondrial membrane potential. Altering cellular GSH with ethacrynic acid or N-acetylcysteine, respectively, exacerbated or protected against dPC12 apoptosis. dPC12 apoptosis was mediated by caspase-9 and -3 activation and apoptosis protease activator protein-1 (Apaf-1) expression. These results show that nPC12 transition to dPC12 cells afforded protection against oxidative challenge due to maintenance of reduced GSH/GSSG and decreased Apaf-1 expression.

Abstract
Experimental infection of BALB/c mice with the gram-positive bacterium Nocardia asteroides produces marked loss of nigrostriatal dopamine neurons, resulting in striatal dopamine depletion. To investigate the mechanism(s) responsible for this neuronal loss, we evaluated the influence of N. asteroides cell-free culture filtrates on rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells, an in vitro model for dopamine neurons. Changes in cell viability and cell numbers were minimal after 24 h, but increased with longer incubation. In contrast, dopamine depletion occurred after 30 min incubation, and was greater with GUH-2 filtrate than with filtrate from the less virulent strain 10905. Incubation with the culture filtrate decreased viability in neuroblastoma and glioma cell lines, indicating that cytotoxic effects were not limited to dopaminergic cells. These findings suggest that the loss of nigrostriatal dopamine neurons and concomitant striatal dopamine depletion in Nocardia-infected mice may be due, at least in part, to the neurotoxicity of nocardial secretory products.

Abstract
The protective effects of nine flavonoids, including apigenin, eriodictyol, 3-hydroxyflavone, kaempherol, luteolin, quercetin, rutin, and taxifolin (Table 1), on the cytotoxicity of linoleic acid hydroperoxide (LOOH) toward rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells were examined. The cytotoxicity was assessed by the trypan blue exclusion test and so-called MTT assay. When cells were preincubated with each flavonoid prior to LOOH exposure, quercetin, 3-hydroxyflavone, or luteolin decreased LOOH cytotoxicity toward undifferentiated cells, while only luteolin decreased efficiently LOOH cytotoxicity toward differentiated cells. On the other hand, when cells were coincubated with each flavonoid and LOOH, kaempherol, eriodictyol, quercetin, 3-hydroxyflavone, luteolin, or taxifolin decreased LOOH cytotoxicity toward undifferentiated and differentiated cells. On both preincubation prior to LOOH exposure and coincubation with LOOH, luteolin acted as the most efficiently protective agent against LOOH cytotoxicity. Further, these flavonoids showed protective effects on coincubation rather than preincubation. Flow cytometry using the fluorescence probe 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate revealed that LOOH increases the intracellular level of reactive oxygen species in undifferentiated cells in a dose-dependent manner, and that desferrioxamine mesylate suppresses the LOOH-induced increase in the level. These flavonoids suppress the LOOH-induced increase. Further, the protective effect of flavonoids on LOOH cytotoxicity correlates with the suppression of the LOOH-induced increase. These results suggest that such flavonoids are beneficial for neuronal cells under oxidative stress.
