Oxidative stress is closely related to the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke. Protocatechualdehyde (PCA) is a phenolic acid compound that has the putative antioxidant activities. The present study was aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms involved in the antioxidative effect of PCA against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. The experiment stroke model was produced in Sprague-Dawley rats via middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). To model ischemia-like conditions in vitro, differentiated SH-SY5Y cells were exposed to transient oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD). Treatment with PCA significantly improved neurologic score, reduced infarct volume and necrotic neurons, and also decreased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), and 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) contents at 24 h after reperfusion. Meanwhile, PCA significantly increased the transcription nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expressions in the ischemic cerebral cortex as shown by immunofluorescence staining and Western blot analysis. In vitro experiment showed that PCA protected differentiated SH-SY5Y cells against OGD-induced injury. Likewise, PCA also increased markedly the Nrf2 and HO-1 expressions in a dose-dependent manner. The neuroprotection effect of PCA was abolished by knockdown of Nrf2 and HO-1. Moreover, knockdown of protein kinase Cε (PKCε) also blocked PCA-induced Nfr2 nuclear translocation, HO-1 expression, and neuroprotection. Taken together, these results provide evidences that PCA can protect against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion-induced oxidative injury, and the neuroprotective effect involves the PKCε/Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.

Myocardial fibrosis is associated with cardiovascular remodeling, which is characterized by abnormal collagen architecture. However, there are not yet effective strategies targeting this abnormal pathological process. The purpose of our study is to investigate the effect of protocatechualdehyde (PCA) on myocardial fibrosis for exploring the underlying target protein and molecular mechanism. We found PCA significantly suppressed isoprenaline (ISO)-induced fibrosis and collagen deposition in myocardial tissue. Then, the direct pharmacological target of PCA was identified as collagen I using cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) coupled with stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) technology. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analysis further confirmed the specific binding of PCA with collagen I. Moreover, collagen self-assembly assay and atomic force microscope analysis confirmed that PCA directly modulated collagen conformational dynamics. LC-MS/MS analysis was applied to determine lysine residues as the binding sites of PCA on collagen I by covalently cross-linking reaction. Collectively, our study suggests that PCA controls cardiovascular remodeling by mediating diffuse interstitial myocardial fibrosis. Moreover, directly targeting collagen may be a promising strategy for the treatment of heart failure and resultant myocardial fibrosis.

Protocatechualdehyde (PCA) extracted from Phellinus gilvus exhibits anti-cancer activity in human colorectal carcinoma cells (HT-29). However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. We performed an in vitro study involving MTT, flow cytometry, RT-PCR, and western blot analyses to investigate the effects of PCA treatment on cell proliferation, cell cycle distribution, apoptosis, and expression of several cell cycle-related genes in HT-29 cells. The treatment enhanced S-phase cell cycle and apoptosis in HT-29 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Western blot results showed that PCA treatment decreased the expression levels of cyclin A, cyclin D1, and p27(KIP1) but increased those of cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) in HT-29 cells. Furthermore, the expression levels of B-cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 (Bcl-2) and B-cell lymphoma/leukemia-xL (Bcl-xL) were down-regulated, whereas the levels of BH3-interacting domain death agonist (Bid), Bcl-2 homologous antagonist/killer (Bak), and cytosolic cytochrome c were significantly upregulated. Thus, the enzymes caspases-9, -3, -8, and -6 were found to be activated in HT-29 cells with PCA treatment. These results indicate that PCA-induced S-phase cell cycle arrest and apoptosis involve p27(KIP1)-mediated activation of the cyclin-A/D1-Cdk2 signaling pathway and the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway.
