Influence of N-Arachidonoyl Dopamine and N-Docosahexaenoyl Dopamine on the Expression of Neurotrophic Factors in Neuronal Differentiated Cultures of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells under Conditions of Oxidative Stress.

ABSTRACT: Oxidative stress (OS) is implicated in the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative diseases. We have previously shown that N-acyl dopamines (N-ADA and N-DDA) protect the neural cells of healthy donors and patients with Parkinson's disease from OS. In this study, we assessed the effects of N-acyl dopamines on the expression of neurotrophic factors in human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neuronal cultures enriched with dopaminergic neurons under conditions of OS induced by hydrogen peroxide. We showed that hydrogen peroxide treatment increased BDNF but not GDNF mRNA levels, while it did not affect the secretion of corresponding proteins into the culture medium of these cells. Application of N-acyl dopamines promoted BDNF release into the culture medium. Under conditions of OS, N-DDA
