- Paper Abstract
- Aesculin, a coumarin compound, is one of the major active ingredients of traditional Chinese herbal medicine Qinpi (Cortex Fraxini), which has been reported to exhibit antioxidative, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties against oxidative stress and cellular apoptosis. However, the regulatory mechanisms remain poorly characterized in vivo. This research was performed to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms behind aesculin response conferring oxidative stress resistance, and the protective effects on amyloid-β (Aβ)-mediated neurotoxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans. Study indicated that aesculin plays the protective roles for C. elegans against oxidative stress and Aβ-mediated neurotoxicity and reduces the elevated ROS and MDA contents through enhancement of antioxidant defenses. The KEGG pathway analysis suggested that the differentially expressed genes are mainly involved in longevity regulating pathway, and the nuclear translocation of DAF-16 and the RNAi of daf-16 and hsf-1 indicated that DAF-16 and HSF-1 play critical roles in integrating upstream signals and inducing the expressions of stress resistance-related genes. Furthermore, the up-regulated expressions of their target genes such as sod-3 and hsp-16.2 were confirmed in transgenic GFP reporter strains CF1553 and CL2070, respectively. These results indicated that the regulators DAF-16 and HSF-1 elevate the stress resistance of C. elegans by modulating stress-responsive genes. Further experiments revealed that aesculin is capable of suppressing Aβ-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis and improves chemosensory behavior dysfunction in Aβ-transgenic nematodes. In summary, this study suggested that aesculin offers increased resistance against oxidative stress and protective effects against Aβ-induced neurotoxicity through activation of stress regulators DAF-16 and HSF-1 in nematodes.
