Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Paclitaxel, an anticancer drug, induces apoptosis in human neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y. The addition of trans-resveratrol, a natural antioxidant present in grapes and red wine, to SH-SY5Y cultures exposed to paclitaxel significantly reduces cellular death. The neuroprotective action of trans-resveratrol is due neither to its antioxidant capacity nor to interference with the polymerization of tubulin induced by paclitaxel. However, trans-resveratrol is able to inhibit the activation of caspase 7 and degradation of poly-(ADP-ribose)-polymerase which occur in SH-SY5Y exposed to paclitaxel. Resveratrol, therefore, exerts its anti-apoptotic effect by modulating the signal pathways that commit these neuronal-like cells to apoptosis.
