Objective:
To investigate the effect of Sulfiredoxin-1 (Srxn1) on astrocyte injury induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).
Methods:
Observing the changes of H2O2 on contents of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and apoptosis after transfected Srxn1 siRNA into astrocytes. The protein expression of Notch 1, NICD and Hes1, the content of LDH and MDA, the activity of SOD and apoptosis rate of astrocytes after inhibiting or activation of Notch signalling pathway were detected by Western blot, ELISA and flow cytometry, respectively.
Results:
Knockdown of Srxn1 could promote the secretion of LDH and MDA, decrease the activity of SOD and aggravate apoptosis of astrocytes induced by H2O2. The results of Western blot, ELISA assay and flow cytometry indicated that activation of the Notch signalling pathway attenuated the effect of Srxn1 on H2O2-induced oxidative damage and apoptosis of astrocytes.
Conclusion:
Srxn1 may protect astrocytes from oxidative stress injury induced by H2O2 by activation of Notch signalling pathway.
