The activation of AMPK by PQQ is required for the regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis in rotenone-injured SH-SY5Y cells, the upregulation of PGC-1α induced by PQQ is reduced by inhibition of AMPK.[2]

Cell Research Cell lines SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells
Concentrations 100 μM
Incubation Time 30 min
Method

SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere of 95% air and 5% CO2. The day before treatment, cells were plated in a 10-cm culture dish at a density of 1 × 106 cells/mL. The cells were divided into four groups: the control group (no rotenone or PQQ), PQQ group (100 μM PQQ), Rotenone group (100 μM rotenone), and PQQ + Rotenone group (100 μM PQQ + 100 μM rotenone). Thirty minutes after treatment, the cells were washed once with cold PBS and scraped in urea lysis buffer (9 M sequanal-grade urea, 20 mM HEPES [pH 8.0], 1 mM β-glyceropho_x005fsphate, 1 mM sodium vanadate, 2.5 mM sodium pyrophosphate). The cells were sonicated in lysis buffer and centrifuged for 15 min at 4 °C and 20,000 × g. Supernatants were collected and reduced with 4.5 mM DTT for 30 min at 55 °C. Reduced lysates were alkylated with iodoacetamide (0.019 g/mL of H2O) for 15 min in the dark. The samples were diluted 1:4 with 20 mM HEPES [pH 8.0] and digested with 10 g/mL trypsin-tosylphenylalanyl chloromethyl ketone in 1 mM HCl overnight. Digested peptide lysates were acidified with 1% TFA, and the peptides were desalted over 360- mg SEP PAK Classic C18 columns. Peptides were eluted with 40% acetonitrile in 0.1% TFA, dried under a vacuum, and stored at −80 °C. Differentially expressed phosphoproteins were identified and analyzed.

In vivo

PQQ dose-dependently alleviates the locomotor deficits and nigral dopaminergic neuron loss in PD mice, significantly diminishes the reduction of mitochondria number and their pathological change in the midbrain, also dose-dependently blocks rotenone-caused reduction in the expression of PGC-1α and TFAM, two key activators of mitochondrial gene transcription, in the midbrain.[2]

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
