Abstract

Stabilized melanocortin analog peptide ACTH(6-9)PGP (FRWGPGP) possess a wide range of neuroprotective activities. However, its mechanism of action remains poorly understood. In this paper, we studied the pro-proliferative and cytoprotective activity of the adrenocorticotropic hormone fragment 6-9 (FRWG) linked with the peptide Prolyl-Glycyl-Proline on the SH-SY5Y cells in the model of oxidative stress-related toxicity. The peptide dose-dependently protected cells from H2O2, tert-butyl hydroperoxide, and KCN. The mechanism of its action was the modu-lation of proliferation-related (NF-kB and Nrf-2) and antioxidant-related (HO-1, Nqo1, Gclc) genes and apoptosis decrease.
