Green tea polyphenols (GTP) are thought to help prevent oxidative stress-related
diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disease, and
aging. We here investigate the protective mechanisms of GTP on SH-SY5Y cells
against apoptosis induced by the pro-parkinsonian neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine
(6-OHDA). GTP rescued the changes in condensed nuclear and apoptotic bodies,
attenuated 6-OHDA-induced early apoptosis, prevented the decrease in
mitochondrial membrane potential, and suppressed accumulation of reactive oxygen
species (ROS) and of intracellular free Ca(2+). GTP also counteracted the
6-OHDA-induced nitric oxide increase and overexpression of nNOS and iNOS, and
decreased the level of protein-bound 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT). In addition, GTP
inhibited the autooxidation of 6-OHDA and scavenged oxygen free radicals in a
dose- and time-dependent manner. Our results show that the protective effects of
GTP on SH-SY5Y cells are mediated, at least in part, by controlling the ROS-NO
pathway.
