INTERLEUKIN-6 PROTECTS PC12 CELLS FROM 4-HYDROXYNONENALINDUCED CYTOTOXICITY BY INCREASING INTRACELLULAR GLUTATHIONE LEVELS
Free Radical Biology & Medicine, Vol. 32, No.12, pp. 1324-1332, 2002,-0001,():
Oxidative stress plays an important role in neuronal cell death associated with many different neurodegenerative conditions, and it is reported that 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE), an aldehydic product of membrane lipid peroxidation, is a key mediator of neuronal cell death induced by oxidative stress. Previously, we have demonstrated that interleukin-6 (IL-6) protects PC12 cells from serum deprivation and 6-hydroxydopamine-induced toxicity. Therefore, in the present study, we examined the effects of interleukins on HNE toxicity in PC12 cells. Exposure of PC12 cells to HNE resulted in a decrease in levels of 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) reduction, which was due to necrotic and apoptotic cell death. Addition of IL-6 24 h before HNE treatment provided a concentration-dependent protection against HNE toxicity, whereas neither IL-1y nor IL-2 had any effect. Addition of glutathione (GSH)-ethyl ester, but not superoxide dismutase or catalase, before HNE treatment to the culture medium protected PC12 cells from HNE toxicity. We found that IL-6 increases intracellular GSH levels and the activity of y-glutamylcysteine synthetase (y-GCS) in PC12 cells. Buthionine sulfoximine (BSO), an inhibitor of y-GCS, reversed the protective effect of IL-6 against HNE toxicity. These results suggest that IL-6 protects PC12 cells from HNEinduced cytotoxicity by increasing intracellular levels of GSH.
