Previous studies have shown that miR-200a is markedly deregulated in various neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and PD. Furthermore, studies have shown the key role of miR-200a on expression of SIRT1 and apoptosis. Therefore, we hypothesized that miR-200a/SIRT1 axis should have a crucial role in apoptosis of dopaminergic (DA)neurons. In this study, human SH-SY5Y cells were treated with MPP+ and expression of miR-200a, SIRT1 and its target genes were assessed. Our results confirmed that expression of miR-200a significantly up-regulated during treating of human SH-SY5Y cells with MPP in order to induce oxidative stress and apoptosis. Additionally, transcript level of SIRT1 in these cells showed significant down-regulation confirming that SIRT1 is indeed decreased due to miR-200a up-regulation during apoptosis. Moreover, expression of P53, FOXO1 and BCL2 were modulated. In this study, we indicated that miR-200a/SIRT1 axis directly correlates with apoptosis and P53 signaling pathway. In conclusion, miR-200a and its target gene, SIRT1, may exert a possible role in induction of apoptosis in DA neurons through regulating P53, apoptosis and FOXO signaling pathways.

Background: Neuroblastoma often begins in infancy and one of the most common types of cancer among children is someone. Napabucasin (NP) (BBI608), a natural naphthoquinone emerging as a novel inhibitor of STAT3, has been found to effectively kill cancer stem-like tumor cells. On the other hand, the effect of Napabucasin on SH-SY5Y cells is currently unclear.

Parkinson's disease (PD), a neurodegenerative disorder without cure, is characterized by the pathological aggregation of α-synuclein (α-Syn) in Lewy bodies. Classic deposition pathway and condensation pathway contribute to α-Syn aggregation, and liquid-liquid phase separation is the driving force for condensate formation, which subsequently undergo liquid-solid phase separation to form toxic fibrils. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a long history in treating neurodegenerative disease, herein; we identified chemicals from herbs that inhibit α-Syn aggregation.

Senescence, a crucial yet paradoxical phenomenon in cellular biology, acts as a barrier against cancer progression while simultaneously promoting aging and age-related pathologies. This duality underlines the importance of precise monitoring of senescence response, especially with regard to the proposed use of drugs selectively removing senescent cells. In particular, little is known about the role of senescence in neurons and in neurodegenerative diseases.
