The effects of trehalose, an autophagy-inducing disaccharide with neuroprotective properties, on the neurotoxicity of parkinsonian mimetics 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) and 1-methyl-4-phenylpiridinium (MPP+) are poorly understood. In our study, trehalose suppressed 6-OHDA-induced caspase-3/PARP1 cleavage (detected by immunoblotting), apoptotic DNA fragmentation/phosphatidylserine externalization, oxidative stress, mitochondrial depolarization (flow cytometry), and mitochondrial damage (electron microscopy) in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. The protection was not mediated by autophagy, autophagic receptor p62, or antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase and catalase. Trehalose suppressed 6-OHDA-induced activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), as revealed by immunoblotting. Pharmacological/genetic inhibition of JNK, p38 MAPK, or AMPK mimicked the trehalose-mediated cytoprotection. Trehalose did not affect the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1)/4EBP1 pathways, while it reduced the prosurvival mTORC2/AKT signaling. Finally, trehalose enhanced oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, and apoptosis without decreasing JNK, p38 MAPK, AMPK, or AKT activation in SH-SY5Y cells exposed to MPP+. In conclusion, trehalose protects SH-SY5Y cells from 6-OHDA-induced oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, and apoptosis through autophagy/p62-independent inhibition of JNK, p38 MAPK, and AMPK. The opposite effects of trehalose on the neurotoxicity of 6-OHDA and MPP+ suggest caution in its potential development as a neuroprotective agent.
