MFG-E8 Exerts Neuroprotection in Neural Stem Cells Induced by Anesthetic Sevoflurane via Regulating the PI3K/AKT Pathways

MFG-E8 has shown tissue protection effects in various models of organ injury. In this study, the function of MFG-E8 in SEV-induced neural stem cells (NSCs) was studied. The cell viability and apoptosis affected by rhMFG-E8 were tested by MTT and flow cytometry analysis, respectively. Then, the mRNA...

description MFG-E8 has shown tissue protection effects in various models of organ injury. In this study, the function of MFG-E8 in SEV-induced neural stem cells (NSCs) was studied. The cell viability and apoptosis affected by rhMFG-E8 were tested by MTT and flow cytometry analysis, respectively. Then, the mRNA expression of MFG-E8 was detected by qRT-PCR. The expression of SOD, GSF-Px, and MDA was assessed using ELISA assay. Western blot analysis was applied for assessing the expression of MFG-E8, BCL2, BAX, cleaved caspase-3, GRP-78, XBP-1, ATF-6, ATF-4, CHOP, p-PI3K, PI3K, p-AKT, and AKT. The pharmacological experiments suggested that both mRNA and protein expression of MFG-E8 were significantly decreased after 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h treatment with SEV, and the Western blot results displayed that 50 and 100 μg/ml rhMFG-E8 could evidently promote the expression of MFG-E8 in NSCs induced by SEV. Next, rhMFG-E8 reduced the apoptosis of NSCs induced by SEV through upregulating Bcl-2 and cleaved caspase-3 and downregulating Bax. Moreover, rhMFG-E8 alleviated the endoplasmic reticulum pressure of NSCs induced by SEV through decreasing the expression of GRP-78, XBP-1, ATF-6, ATF-4, and CHOP. In addition, the rhMFG-E8 could promote the expression of SOD and GSH-Px and inhibit the expression of MDA and LDH detected by the ELISA assay and LDH kit. Moreover, rhMFG-E8 elevated the expression of p-PI3K/PI3K and p-AKT/AKT, which were inhibited by SEV in NSCs. The results of this project supported that rhMFG-E8 protects neural activity in neural stem cells induced by anesthetic sevoflurane via regulating the PI3K/AKT pathways.
