Abstract
We recently reported that N-adamantyl-4-methylthiazol-2-amine (KHG26693) attenuates glutamate-induced oxidative stress and inflammation in the brain. In this study, we investigated KHG 26693 as a therapeutic agent against glutamate-induced autophagic death of cortical neurons. Treatment with KHG26693 alone did not affect the viability of cultured cortical neurons but was protective against glutamate-induced cytotoxicity in a concentration-dependent manner. KHG26693 attenuated the glutamate-induced increase in protein levels of LC3, beclin-1, and p62. Whereas glutamate decreased the phosphorylation of PI3K, Akt, and mTOR, these levels were restored by treatment with KHG26693. These results suggest that KHG26693 inhibits glutamate-induced autophagy by regulating PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling. Finally, KHG26693 treatment also attenuated glutamate-induced increases in reactive oxygen species, glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase levels in cortical neurons, indicating that KHG26693 also protects cortical neurons against glutamate-induced autophagy by regulating the reactive oxygen species scavenging system.
