    Abstract:
    This study aimed to investigate the mechanism underlying the neuroprotective effect of hemin in oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-treated neurons. OGD-treated SH-SY5Y cells (human neuroblastoma cells) were used in the study. The cellular viability of SH-SY5Y cells was assessed by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, and the cell apoptosis rate was determined by flow cytometry analysis with Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate and propidium iodide staining with or without hemin pretreatment. Cell viability and apoptotic activation were detected after hemin administration combined with neuroglobin (Nqb), thioredoxin-1, peroxiredoxin-2, or heme oxygenase-1 siRNA transient transfection. The release of cytochrome c from mitochondria and the interaction between Ngb and cytochrome c were examined with hemin pretreatment. Hemin had a neuroprotective effect in OGD-treated SH-SY5Y cells, which was mainly mediated by the upregulation of Ngb. Moreover, the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria was inhibited by hemin-induced Ngb expression through facilitating the interaction of Ngb with cytochrome c in mitochondria. The present findings provided new insights into the neuroprotective mechanisms of hemin. It was concluded that low-dose hemin pretreatment had a neuroprotective effect in OGD-treated SH-SY5Y cells, through inhibiting cell apoptosis. The neuroprotective effects of hemin following hypoxic-ischemic neuronal damage were mainly mediated by Ngb. One underlying mechanism was hemin-induced overexpression of mitochondrial Ngb, which inhibited endogenous apoptosis via the association with cytochrome c.
