Abstract:
Environmental factors may play a critical role in the etiology and pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the association of PD with specific chemical species remains largely unknown. Here we prepared three kinds of iron oxide nanoparticles and examined their cytotoxicity in a cellular model of PD. We found that lysosome-targeted nanoparticles showed significant cytotoxicity in SH-SY5Y cells. Inhibition of AMPK could aggravate the neurotoxicity of lysosome-targeted nanoparticles as well as mitochondrion-targeted nanoparticles. Alteration of mitochondrial membrane potentials was found to be in agreement with the neurotoxicity of iron nanoparticles. These results suggested an important role of AMPK in regulating iron nanoparticle-associated neurotoxicity.
