چکیده انگلیسی
Severe brain damage in patients with pneumococcal meninigits is in part caused by the cytosolic pneumococcal protein pneumolysin. The devastating effect of this neurotoxin might be alleviated by interfering with the cell death pathways that it sets in motion. An important player in these pathways is Bcl-XL, an antiapoptotic protein of the Bcl-2 family, which is neuroprotective in various in vitro and in vivo models of cell death. We investigated whether its membrane-permeable form, the TAT-Bcl-XL fusion protein, is capable of protecting human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells against pneumolysin-induced cell death. Under mild pneumolysin-induced neuronal injury, TAT-Bcl-XL increased cell viability significantly by approximately 40% (82.7 ± 16.1% versus 70.0 ± 8.2%; p = 0.04). When the cells were exposed to a more rigorous pneumolysin treatment, TAT-Bcl-XL had no protective effects. This suggests the involvement of additional neuronal death pathways in pneumolysin-induced cell death, which are not controlled by Bcl-XL. Therefore, Bcl-XL, a promising therapeutic candidate for ischemia and neurodegenerative diseases, is only of partial efficacy in preventing the direct neurotoxicity of pneumolysin.
