4-hydroxybenzaldehyde-chitooligomers suppresses H2O2-induced oxidative damage in microglia BV-2 cells

Carbohydr Res. 2017 Feb 22:440-441:32-37. doi: 10.1016/j.carres.2017.01.007. Epub 2017 Jan 16.

Abstract

Positive charges of chitooligomer (COS) enable COS to interact with negatively charged anionic groups on the cell surface resulting in an improvement in the biological activity of COS and its derivatives. In this study, 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde-COS (HB-COS) was synthesized and investigated for its abilities against H2O2-induced oxidative stress in microglia BV-2 cells. Under oxidative stress, HB-COS significantly attenuated reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and DNA oxidation, and upregulated the protein levels of antioxidative enzymes. HB-COS is therefore proposed as a potential protective agent against neuronal damage.

Keywords: 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde-COS (HB-COS); Microglia BV-2 cells; Oxidative stress.
