ABSTRACT
Objective@#To study the protective effect of melatonin (MT) against lead-induced neurotoxicity.@*Methods@#PC12 cells were divided in four groups (control, 25 μmol/L PbAc, 50 μmol/L MT and 25 μmol/L PbAc+50 μmol/L MT) . After treatment, cell viability was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and cytotoxicity LDH assay were used to evaluate cell damage rate. The expression of Cleaved-Caspase-3 and cytochrome C (cyto C) was detected by immunofluorescence (IF) . ROS levels were measured by DCFH method. GSH contents and SOD activities were detected after whole cell protein was extracted.@*Results@#Compared with control group, 25 μmol/L PbAc caused significantly decreased cell viability, GSH contents and SOD activities, while increased cell damage rate and ROS level significantly (P<0.05) . 25 μmol/L PbAc could also increase the protein level of cleaved-caspase-3 and cyto C in cytoplasm. Compared with 25 μmol/L PbAc group, 50 μmol/L MT+25 μmol/L PbAc caused significantly increased cell viability, GSH contents and SOD activities, while decreased cell damage rate and ROS level significantly (P<0.05) . Compared with 25 μmol/L PbAc group, 50 μmol/L MT+25 μmol/L PbAc decreased the protein level of cleaved-caspase-3 and cyto C.@*Conclusion@#Melatonin could attenuate PbAc-induced oxidative stress and cell death and promote cell survival.
