Its use is often concomitant with drugs such as ethanol, which can cause irreversible damage to the central nervous system. This study investigates the neurotoxicity of ketamine-ethanol combination in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell line, exploring the mechanisms preceding cell death. Cell viability, oxidative stress parameters, and apoptosis pathways were assessed after 3 and 6 h of drug exposure. A concentration-response curve using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay determined the lowest observed adverse effect levels for ketamine (1 mM; K1) and ethanol (100 mM; E100). After 12, 24 and 48 h, MTT assay revealed a decrease in cell viability, with a possible synergistic effect in K1E100 at 48 h, confirmed by annexin-V/7-aminoactinomycin D flow cytometry analysis, which showed a higher proportion of late apoptotic cells. Mechanisms preceding cell death were assessed by measuring reduced glutathione (GSH) levels, glutathione-related enzymes activities, and apoptosis markers (caspase-8, Bax, Bcl-2, and caspase-3). GSH levels decreased after 6 h in E100 and K1E100. Glutathione peroxidase activity increased for all groups after 3 h and in K1 and K1E100 after 6 h. Glutathione reductase and glutathione S-transferase activities increased only for K1E100 after 3 h. K1E100 also showed increased caspase-8 and Bax expression after 3 and 6 h, respectively, indicating activation of both extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic pathways. These results suggest that ketamine-ethanol combination induces neurotoxicity by triggering oxidative stress and apoptosis in a time-dependent manner prior to cell death, increasing the risk for neuronal damage compared to individual drug exposure. While these findings are promising, they should be interpreted with caution due to certain limitations, such as variability in enzyme activity measurements, reduced sample size for some markers, and the use of an immortalized, proliferative cell line. Further studies using differentiated neuronal cells are needed to validate and expand these observations.</p>","PeriodicalId":19193,"journal":{"name":"Neurotoxicity Research","volume":"43 3","pages":"27"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144248908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A number of recent studies have demonstrated that ferroptosis contributes to Alzheimer's disease (AD)-mediated nerve cell death. Melatonin demonstrates strong antioxidant properties and offers protective benefits for the brain in the context of AD. However, it is not fully known whether melatonin protects against ferroptosis and whether ferroptosis affects amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing. In this study, we studied the effects of melatonin on SH-SY5Y cells-induced ferroptosis using erastin, and ferrostatin-1 was used as a ferroptosis inhibitor. To confirm the occurrence of ferroptosis, we conducted measurements of cell cytotoxicity, intracellular iron, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE). The protein expressions that were regulated by either ferroptosis or APP processing were measured. Our results revealed that erastin increased intracellular iron levels, ROS, and 4-HNE lipid peroxidation in SH-SY5Y cells, resulting in an increased percentage of cell death. Erastin disrupted the regulation of proteins involved in ferroptosis and increased the production of amyloid beta (Aβ) through APP proteolysis. Following melatonin treatment, intracellular iron, ROS, and 4-HNE levels were significantly reduced. Additionally, the cystine/glutamate antiporter (system xc<sup>-</sup>) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) were increased, and acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 4 (ACSL4) was diminished.

While both METH and HIV- 1 Tat proteins can induce neurotoxicity and synergistic effects on the nervous system, the mechanisms by which they act synergistically remain unclear. Our recent research shows that neuroinflammation plays an important role in neurotoxicity induced by METH and HIV- 1 Tat proteins, but the regulatory mechanism has not been clarified. Tripartite Motif Containing 13 (TRIM13) is a protein known to regulate the inflammatory response through ubiquitination of Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Associated Factor 6 (TRAF6). This study investigated the role of TRIM13 and TRAF6 in the inflammatory response of U- 87 MG cells induced by METH and HIV- 1 Tat proteins. U- 87 MG cells were treated with 2 mM METH and/or 100 nM HIV- 1 Tat protein. Western blot (WB), immunofluorescence (IF), and co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) experiments were employed to elucidate the role of TRIM13 and TRAF6. The results demonstrated that METH and HIV- 1 Tat protein could synergistically induce an inflammatory response in U- 87 MG cells. Furthermore, the knockdown of TRIM13 significantly enhanced this inflammatory response, while the inhibition of TRAF6 significantly weakened it. Additionally, the study revealed that TRIM13 could degrade TRAF6 via ubiquitination. In conclusion, this study suggests that TRIM13 regulates TRAF6 ubiquitination to dampen the inflammatory response of U- 87 MG cells induced by METH and HIV- 1 Tat proteins.

Multiple linear regression was used to assess the associations among CSF ACE, AD core biomarkers and inflammation-related biomarkers.

In addition, the mediation analysis results showed that the association of CSF ACE and inflammation-related biomarkers (sTREM2, PGRN, TGF-β1, TGF-β2, TNFR1, IL-6, IL-7, IL-9, and VCAM-1) mediated the correlation of CSF Aβ<sub>42</sub> with P-tau. Our findings show that CSF ACE and neuroinflammation are correlated and that their correlation mediates the link between Aβ pathology and P-tau. This suggests ACE may play a significant role in the progression from Aβ pathology to tau pathology.</p>","PeriodicalId":19193,"journal":{"name":"Neurotoxicity Research","volume":"43 2","pages":"20"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143788375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
