DL-3-n-Butylphthalide Protects Mitochondria Against Ischemia/Hypoxia Damage via Suppressing GCN5L1-Mediated Drp1 Acetylation in Neurons and Mouse Brains.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mitochondrial dysfunction is an initial event of the cascade reactions triggered by ischemic stroke, contributing to the pathogenesis of ischemic brain injury. DL-3-n-butylphthalide (NBP), a compound originally isolated from the seeds of Apium graveolens Linn, exerts neuroprotective effects by improving mitochondrial function in ischemic brain tissues; however, the exact molecular mechanisms underlying its action remain poorly understood.

Methods

The OGD-exposed neuronal cells and dMCAO mice were used to investigate the effects of ischemia/hypoxia on mitochondrial function and the protective action of NBP on mitochondrial damage. Co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence staining were performed to identify the interaction between Drp1 and GCN5L1. Western blott
