    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: Pi class of glutathione S-transferase (GST) is known to suppress c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)-related apoptosis through protein-protein interactions. Moreover, signaling by PKA/cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) is necessary for GSTP up-regulation. This study explored whether carnosic acid (CA) from rosemary prevents 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced neurotoxicity by inhibition of JNK through GSTP via PKA/CREB signaling. Results indicated that the GSTP protein was increased in SH-SY5Y cells treated with CA for 18 and 24 h. However, CA had no significant effect on alpha or mu class of GST. Treatment of CA increased the induction of p-PKAα, nuclear p-CREB, and CRE-DNA binding activity. These effects of CA were attenuated in cells pretreated with the PKA inhibitor H89. CA pretreatment suppressed 6-OHDA-induced apoptosis by inhibition of JNK phosphorylation, poly(ADP)-ribose polymerase cleavage, and nuclear condensation. Pretreatment with H89 and GSTP siRNA attenuated the ability of CA to reverse 6-OHDA-induced apoptosis. By use of immunoprecipitation with JNK antibody to examine the interaction of GSTP-JNK with CA, we showed that CA pretreatment increased the immunoprecipitation of GSTP after 6-OHDA treatment, which suggests that CA promoted the interaction between GSTP and JNK. CONCLUSION: CA prevents 6-OHDA-induced apoptosis via inhibition of JNK by GSTP through the PKA/CREB pathway.
