Neuroprotection by quercetin via mitochondrial function adaptation in traumatic brain injury: PGC-1α pathway as a potential mechanism.
Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine 2018 Februrary
The aim of this study was to investigate the neuroprotective effects of quercetin in mouse models of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and the potential role of the PGC-1α pathway in putative neuroprotection. Wild-type mice were randomly assigned to four groups: the sham group, the TBI group, the TBI+vehicle group and the TBI+quercetin group. Quercetin, a dietary flavonoid used as a food supplement, significantly reduced TBI-induced neuronal apoptosis and ameliorated mitochondrial lesions. It significantly accelerated the translocation of PGC-1α protein from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. In addition, quercetin restored the level of cytochrome c, malondialdehyde and superoxide dismutase in mitochondria. Therefore, quercetin administration can potentially attenuate brain injury in a TBI model by increasing the activities of mitochondrial biogenesis via the mediation of the PGC-1α pathway.
