Cycloastragenol reduces microglial NLRP3 inflammasome activation in Parkinson's disease models by promoting autophagy and reducing Scrib-driven ROS
Background
In Parkinson's disease (PD), microglial autophagy is crucial for the maintenance of cellular redox homeostasis. Meanwhile, cycloastragenol (CAG), a triterpenoid saponin and the principal active component of Astragalus, reduces the activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes. Nevertheless, the specific molecular mechanisms underlying the CAG-mitigated microglial neuroinflammation remains obscure in PD.
Purpose
This study explored the role of CAG in the activation of microglial NLRP3 inflammasome and the mechanisms underlying its therapeutic potential for PD treatment.
Study design
The effect of CAG was assessed in α-Syn-induced primary microglia and PD models.
Methods
AAV1/2-hsyn-SNCA (A53T) was stereo-injected into the striatum of mice to induce PD models and CAG was orally administered. The mice underwent quantitative 4D proteomics analysis and behavioral assessments. The primary microglia and neuron cultures were analyzed by western blotting, immunofluorescence, transmission electron microscopy, etc.
Results
CAG reduced phagocytosis-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) by suppressing the microglial Scribble (Scrib) and p22phox expression. Concurrently, CAG enhanced autophagy, promoted α-Syn clearance, and reduced mitochondrial damage. These synergistic effects downregulated NLRP3 inflammasome activation, in turn reducing gasdermin D cleavage, caspase-1 activation, and the release of interleukin-1β and interleukin-18. Further investigation revealed that CAG shielded neurons from α-Syn toxicity, thus attenuating behavioral impairments observed in the mouse PD model.
Conclusion
CAG mitigates neuroinflammation by inhibiting ROS-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation in microglia via promoting microglial autophagy and reducing the activity of Scrib-associated nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase, which signifies a promising alternative approach to PD management.
