Cadmium induces mitochondrial dysfunction via SIRT1 suppression‐mediated oxidative stress in neuronal cells
Cadmium is a widespread environmental contaminant and its neurotoxicity has raised serious concerns. Mitochondrial dysfunction is a key event in Cd‐induced nervous system disease; however, the exact molecular mechanism involved has not been fully elucidated. Increasing evidences have shown that Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is the key target protein impaired in Cd‐induced mitochondrial dysfunction. In this study, the role of SIRT1 in Cd‐induced mitochondrial dysfunction and cell death and the underlying mechanisms were evaluated in vitro using PC12 cells and primary rat cerebral cortical neurons. The results showed that Cd exposure caused cell death by inhibiting SIRT1 expression, thus inducing oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction in vitro. However, inhibition of oxidative stress by the antioxidant puerarin alleviated Cd‐induced mitochondrial dysfunction. Furthermore, activation of SIRT1 using the agonist Srt1720 significantly abolished Cd‐induced oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction and ultimately alleviated Cd‐induced neuronal cell death. Collectively, our data indicate that Cd induced mitochondrial dysfunction via SIRT1 suppression‐mediated oxidative stress, leading to the death of PC12 cells and primary rat cerebral cortical neurons. These findings suggest a novel mechanism for Cd‐induced neurotoxicity.
