Primary cortical neurons exposed to the mitochondrial toxin NaN3 (0.1-3 mM) were submitted to oxidative stress with H2O2 (30-150 μM), to mimic conditions observed in neurodegenerative disorders. The effects of such treatment on a series of parameters useful in characterizing neuronal damage were investigated: (i) the basal release of glutamate, evaluated as (3)H-d-Aspartate efflux, was sharply, concentration-dependently, increased; (ii) the phosphorylation status of intracellular markers known to be involved in the neurodegenerative processes, in particular in Alzheimer disease: tau and GSK3β were increased, as well as the protein level of β-secretase (BACE1) and p35/25 evaluated by Western blotting, while (iii) the cell metabolic activity, measured with the MTT method, was reduced, in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The latter effect, as well as tau hyperphosphorylation, was prevented both by a mixture of antioxidant drugs (100 μM ascorbic acid, 10 μM trolox, 100 μM glutathione) and by the anti-Alzheimer drug, memantine, 20 μM.

In this study, we demonstrated that GLP-1RA could inhibit oxidative stress and repair mitochondrial damage in addition to decreasing tau hyperphosphorylation in PC12 cells treated with AGEs. Importantly, we first observed AGEs in the circulatory system could induce tau hyperphosphorylation after we injected AGEs (1μg/kg bodyweight) into the mice tail vein. We found GLP-1RA could promote mitochondrial biogenesis and antioxidant system via regulating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) signaling pathway in vivo besides down-regulating the activity of glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β) to reverse tau hyperphosphorylation directly.

Nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a transcription factor known to increase the level of many antioxidants, including glutathione-S transferase (GST), and is negatively regulated by the activity of GSK-3β. Our results indicated the increased nuclear localization of Nrf2 and level of GST, suggesting the increased activity of the transcription factor as a result of GSK-3β suppression, consistent with the decreased oxidative stress observed. Consistent with the improved learning and memory, and consistent with GSK-3b being a tau kinase, we observed decreased tau phosphorylation in brain of GAO-treated SAMP8 mice compared to that of RAO-treated SAMP8 mice.

A likely explanation for the increased expression of GLRX2 (glutaredoxin 2) and NQO1 (NAD(P)H dehydrogenase, quinone 1) in colon carcinoma and of GLRX (glutaredoxin), HMOX1 (heme oxygenase-1), NQO1, and SOD1 (superoxide dismutase 1) in Alzheimer is that it represents an adaptive attempt to partially compensate for the increased level of oxidative stress associated with these diseases. These antioxidant genes are also upregulated by Protandim, which would provide additional antioxidant protection beyond that achieved by the ROS-dependent induction of these enzymes in the diseased tissues.

In primary neuronal cultures, Amyloid-β has been shown to elicit oxidative stress and evoke NF-κB activation PubMed:28745240
Furthermore, Amyloid-β –induced NF-κB also results in the up-regulation of the antioxidant mitochondrial membrane enzyme – MnSOD (superoxide dismutase 2) [328] which is well known to combat oxidative stress and apoptosis PubMed:28745240

Once intercalated into cellular plasma membranes heme amplifies cellular susceptibility to oxidative-mediated injury by oxidants such as H2O2 or those derived from activated inflammatory cells (Balla et al., 1991a,b, 1993). PubMed:24904418
This engenders the release of iron, which can promote further the oxidation of plaque lipids through redox cycling reactions. The result of these chemical reactions is the formation of deleterious oxidized ‘gruel’ which, among other things, leads to endothelial oxidative stress and ultimately to cytotoxicity. PubMed:20378845
Thus, by participating in Fenton chemistry, non-transferrin-bound iron (i.e., iron not bound to the physiological iron transport protein, transferrin) causes oxidative damage, cytotoxicity and enhanced endothelial expression of adhesion molecules, thereby enhancing thrombotic risk (Hershko, 2007).

PRDX2 deficiency, thus, causes cells to undergo more oxidative stress during in vitro aging, even in the presence of catalase. PubMed:23215741
PRDX2, which is able to react with low levels of H2O2 even at reduced glutathione levels, may therefore play a role in limiting the increased formation of heme degradation products in older cells. PubMed:23215741
Peroxiredoxin-2 (Prx-2) has emerged as the critical antioxidant protecting RBCs from H2O2 produced endogenously (by Hb autoxidation and subsequent superoxide dismutation) and exogenously (e.g., from activated neutrophils) at low (physiologic) concentrations (11, 32, 38, 40, 43, 45) and, therefore, may limit oxidative injury to other cells/tissues in the vasculature (6, 57). PubMed:25264713
This is consistent with increased Prx-2 oxidation and a role for this enzyme in protecting RBC membrane constituents from storage-dependent oxidative stress (49, 50). PubMed:25264713
The potential significance of this finding is underscored by the fact that Prx-2 is considered the primary antioxidant system to negate H2O2-mediated oxidative damage in the RBC (41). PubMed:25264713

In this work, we demonstrate that acute oxidative stress and mild heat stress (HS) induce the accumulation of dephosphorylated Tau in neuronal nuclei. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation assays, we demonstrate that the capacity of endogenous Tau to interact with neuronal DNA increased following HS. Comet assays performed on both wildtype and Tau-deficient neuronal cultures showed that Tau fully protected neuronal genomic DNA against HS-induced damage. Interestingly, HS-induced DNA damage observed in Tau-deficient cells was completely rescued after the overexpression of human Tau targeted to the nucleus. PubMed:21131359

Though whole tau assembled poorly, constructs containing three internal repeats (corresponding to the fetal tau isoform) formed PHFs reproducibly. This ability depended on intermolecular disulfide bridges formed by the single Cys-322. Blocking the SH group, mutating Cys for Ala, or keeping T in a reducing environment all inhibited assembly. On the other hand, Cys-322 can be oxidized, and this leads to PHF assembly (ref. 11; this report). In vitro this is achieved most easily by using constructs of the 'fetal' isoform of T (htau23) that has only three repeats. Conversely, reducing agents or the second repeat or T can be viewed as 'antidotes' against PHF assembly.The synthetic PHFs bound the dye thioflavin S used in Alzheimer disease diagnostics.
