In Vitro Model SH-SY5Y cells Neuroblastoma Homo sapiens CVCL_0019
In Vivo Model
Twenty male C57BL/6 mice at 12 weeks old were purchased from Hebei Medical University Experimental Animal Center. 10 mice of the experimental group were intraperitoneally injected with PQ (10 mg PQ (salt)/kg/dose) three times a week for 3 weeks according to the previous report. Ten mice of the control group were intraperitoneally injected with the same dose of normal saline. Once the experimental schedule was completed, firstly, the animals were used for behavioral tests. Then, the mice were anesthetized with 0.4% pentobarbital sodium (1 mL/100 g) solution and perfused. The substantia nigra tissue was exfoliated for subsequent experiments.

Response regulation Paraquat (PQ) significantly caused the iron accumulation in cytoplasm and mitochondria through ferritinophagy pathway induced by NCOA4. Iron overload initiated lipid peroxidation through 12Lox, further inducing ferroptosis by producing lipid ROS. PQ downregulated SLC7A11 and GPX4 expression and upregulated Cox2 expression. Bcl2/Bax and P-p38/p38 pathways mediated the cross-talk between ferroptosis and apoptosis induced by PQ. These data further demonstrated the complexity of Parkinson's disease occurrence.
