Sigma-1 Receptor Agonists Induce Oxidative Stress in Mitochondria and Enhance Complex I Activity in Physiological Condition but Protect Against Pathological Oxidative Stress (original) (raw)

2017, Neurotoxicity research

The sigma1 receptor (σ1R) is a chaperone protein residing at mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes (MAMs), where it modulates Ca(2+) exchange between the ER and mitochondria by interacting with inositol-1,4,5 trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs). The σ1R is highly expressed in the central nervous system and its activation stimulates neuromodulation and neuroprotection, for instance in Alzheimer's disease (AD) models in vitro and in vivo. σ1R effects on mitochondria pathophysiology and the downstream signaling are still not fully understood. We here evaluated the impacts of σ1R ligands in mouse mitochondria preparations on reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, mitochondrial respiration, and complex activities, in physiological condition and after direct application of amyloid Aβ1-42 peptide. σ1R agonists (2-(4-morpholinethyl)-1-phenylcyclohexanecarboxylate hydrochloride (PRE-084), tetrahydro-N,N-dimethyl-5,5-diphenyl-3-furanmethanamine (ANAVEX1-41, AN1-41), ...
