ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to elucidate the mechanism underlying the neuroprotective effects of the phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) inhibitor, bisperoxovanadium-pic [bpV(pic)]. We determined the effects of bpV(pic) on amyloid-β-peptide-(25-35)-induced neurotoxicity, particularly intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and mitochondria-mediated apoptotic signaling, in a human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) cell model. We found that exposure of SH-SY5Y cells to amyloid β peptides (Aβ Aβ peptides are thought to cause neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease (AD), via the induction of free radical oxidative stress. Our results indicate that bpV(pic) provides protection against Aβ
