Abstract The antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities of Withania somnifera (WS) are known for a long time. This study was aimed to examine whether WS also diminishes 4-hydroxy-trans-2-nonenal (HNE)-induced neurotoxicity in human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) cell line. The cytotoxic response of HNE (0.1–50 μM) and WS (6.25–200 μg/ml) was measured by MTT assay after exposing SH-SY5Y cells for 24 h. Then neuroprotective potential was assessed by exposing the cells to biologically safe concentrations of WS (12.5, 25, and 50 μg/ml) then HNE (50 μM). Results showed a concentrationdependent protective effect of WS at 12.5, 25, and 50 μg/ml against HNE (50 μM) induced cytotoxicity and cell inhibition. Pre-exposure to WS resulted in a strong inhibition of 24, 55 and 83% in malondialdehyde (MDA) level; 5, 27 and 60% in glutathione (GSH) level; 12, 36 and 68% in catalase activity; 11, 33 and 67% in LDH leakage; and 40, 80 and 120% in cellular LDH activity at 12.5, 25, and 50 μg/ml, respectively, induced by 50 μM HNE in SH-SY5Y cells. The HNE-mediated cellular changes (cell shrinkage, rounded bodies, and inhibition of outgrowth) and increased caspase-3 activity were also prevented by WS. The HNE-induced upregulation of proapoptotic markers (p53, caspase-3, and -9, and Bax) and downregulation of antiapoptotic marker Bcl-2 genes were also blocked by pretreatment with WS. Altogether, our findings indicate that WS possesses a protective potential against HNE-induced neurotoxicity.

Introduction Among the harmful by-products of lipid peroxidation (LP), 4-hydroxy-trans-2-nonenal (HNE) is a potentially dangerous product [1]. It remains stable in the lipid bilayer and subsequently diffuses through the membrane into the cytosol [2]. Studies have confirmed that aldehydes generated * Maqsood A.
