Neuroprotective effect of selumetinib on acrolein-induced neurotoxicity

Abstract Abnormal accumulation of acrolein, an α, β unsaturated aldehyde has been reported as one pathological cause of the CNS neurodegenerative diseases. In the present study, the neuroprotective effect of selumetinib (a MEK–ERK inhibitor) on acrolein-induced neurotoxicity was investigated in vitr...

In conclusion, our study showed that selumetinib inhibited acrolein-activated Nrf-2-HO-1 pathway, acrolein-induced protein conjugation and aggregation as well as damage in neurite outgrowth and cell death, suggesting that selumetinib, a MEK–ERK inhibitor, may be a potential neuroprotective agent against acrolein-induced neurotoxicity in the CNS neurodegenerative diseases.Hui-Ju HuangHsiang-Tsui WangTing-Yu YehBo-Wei LinYoung-Ji ShiaoYu-Li LoAnya Maan-Yuh LinNature PortfolioarticleMedicineRScienceQENScientific Reports, Vol 11, Iss 1, Pp 1-10 (2021)
