In vitro optimization of retinoic acid–induced neuritogenesis and TH endogenous expression in human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells by the antioxidant Trolox

Abstract: Though, it is quite well-known how retinoic acid (RA) is able to induce neuritogenesis in different in vitro models, the putative role exerted by reactive oxygen species (ROS) during this process still need to be further studied. For such purpose, we used a neuronal-like cell line (SH-SY5Y cells) in order to investigate whether the antioxidant Trolox (a hydrophilic analog of alpha-tocopherol) could have any effect on the number of RA-induced neurites, and how significant changes in cellular redox homeostasis m… Show more

“…Unexpectedly, Trolox failed to restore the phosphorylation of IGF-1Rs. In agreement with a previous observation [22], the regulation of phosphoAkt was found underlying the protective effect of Trolox in our system ( Fig. 3a and b).…”

“…The assay is based on the employment of a peroxyl radical generator (2,2-azo-bis(2-amidinopropane); AAPH) mixed with luminol, and the scavenging activity of samples prevents luminol oxidation by AAPH. The synthetic antioxidant Trolox (Acros Organics BVBA, Geel, Belgium), a vitamin E analog, was applied as a positive control at a concentration of 100 µM [38]. The antioxidant capacity of samples was recorded through 60 min and results were calculated as area under the curve (AUC).…”

“…The resulting cellular suspension was centrifuged at 3000 ×g for 10 min, and the supernatant was collected. Cellular superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was assessed by quantifying the inhibition of superoxide-dependent adrenaline autooxidation in a spectrophotometer at 480 nm, as previously described [12]. Results were expressed as units of SOD/mg protein.…”
