Neuroprotection of isookanin against MPTP-induced cell death of SH-SY5Y cells via BCL2/BAX and PI3K/AKT pathways.
Article in Psychopharmacology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
background and purposeIsookanin, an important antioxidant component in Coreopsis tinctoria Nutt., has shown remarkable hypolipidemic, hypoglycemic, and hypotensive effects. However, the neuroprotective effect of isookanin has not been reported yet. Here, the neuroprotective effects and relevant molecular mechanisms of isookanin are explored for the first time.
methodsThe SH-SY5Y cells were exposed to neurotoxic H
resultsAmong the three in vitro models, isookanin showed the best neuroprotection against MPTP-induced damage. Isookanin attenuated the levels of LDH, intracellular ROS, and mitochondrial membrane potential. Isookanin upregulated phosphorylation of AKT and PI3K, and increased BCL2/BAX ratio. Isookanin possessed a powerful affinity toward AKT. Besides, the protective effects of isookanin disappeared when cells were co-treated with an AKT inhibitor (AZD5363).
conclusionIsookanin regulated BCL2/BAX and PI3K/AKT pathways to reduce mitochondrial damage and cellular apoptosis. Isookanin may be a new protector for neurodegenerative diseases.
