Parkinson's disease (PD) is a degenerative neurological disorder defined by the deterioration and loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the substantia nigra, leading to a range of motor impairments and non-motor symptoms. The underlying mechanism of this neurodegeneration remains unclear. This research examined the neuroprotective properties of Ecklonia cava polyphenols (ECPs) in mitigating neuronal damage induced by rotenone via the activation of the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-antioxidant response element (ARE) pathway. Using human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells and PD model mice, we found that ECP, rich in the antioxidant polyphenol phlorotannin, boosted the gene expression and functionality of the antioxidant enzyme NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase-1. ECP also promoted Nrf2 nuclear translocation and increased p62 expression, suggesting that p62 helps sustain Nrf2 activation via a positive feedback loop. The neuroprotective effect of ECP was significantly reduced by Compound C (CC), an AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) inhibitor, which also suppressed Nrf2 nuclear translocation. In PD model mice, ECPs improved motor functions impaired by rotenone, as assessed by the pole test and wire-hanging test, and restored intestinal motor function and colon tissue morphology. Additionally, ECPs increased tyrosine hydroxylase expression in the substantia nigra, indicating a protective effect on dopaminergic neurons. These findings suggest that ECP has a preventative effect on PD.
