Objective To investigate the protective effect and related mechanism of ginkgo diterpene lactone (GDL) on platelet-activating factor (PAF)-induced neuronal injury. Methods A cellular model and an animal model of PAF-induced neuronal injury were constructed, GDL or PERK agonist CCT020312 were administered. The cell viability and apoptosis of HT22 cells were determined using CCK-8 and Annexin V-FITC apoptosis assay kits, respectively; Activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in HT22 cell culture supernatant was measured using a LDH assay kit, and calcium level in HT22 cells was determined using a Fluo-4 calcium assay kit; Molecular docking was used to explore the relevant molecular mechanisms; Western blotting was used to detect the expressions of apoptosis-related proteins [cystein-asparate protease-3 (Caspase-3), cleaved Caspase-3, B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax)] and endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins [protein kinase R-like ER kinase (PERK), p-PERK, eukaryotic initiation factor-2α (eIF-2α), p-eIF2α, activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4), C/EBP-homologous protein (CHOP)] in HT22 cells and brain tissues of mice. Results The results of in vitro cell experiments showed that, compared with control group, cell activity was significantly reduced in model group (P < 0.001), release rate of LDH was increased (P < 0.001), level of calcium ions was increased (P < 0.001), number of apoptotic cells was significantly increased (P < 0.001), the expression levels of cleaved Caspase-3 and Bax proteins were significantly increased (P < 0.001), the expression level of Bcl-2 protein was significantly decreased (P < 0.001), and the expression levels of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins were significantly increased (P < 0.05, 0.001). Compared with model group, GDL significantly increased cell viability (P < 0.05, 0.001), significantly up-regulated Bcl-2 expression (P < 0.05, 0.001), and significantly down-regulated the expression of cleaved Caspase-3, Bax, p-PERK, p-eIF2 α, ATF4 and CHOP (P < 0.05, 0.01, 0.001); The effect of GDL after CCT020312 treatment was reversed (P < 0.001). The results of in vivo animal experiments showed that compared with control group, the expression level of Bax protein in brain tissue of mice in model group was significantly increased (P < 0.001), the expression level of Bcl-2 protein was significantly decreased (P < 0.001), and the expression levels of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins were significantly increased (P < 0.001); Compared with model group, GDL significantly up-regulated the expression of Bcl-2 (P < 0.01, 0.001), and significantly down-regulated the expressions of p-PERK, p-eIF2α, ATF4, CHOP and Bax (P < 0.001); The effect of GDL after CCT020312 treatment was reversed (P < 0.001). Conclusion PAF can active PERK/ATF4/CHOP pathway of neuronal endoplasmic reticulum stress to induce calcium overload and thus neuronal apoptosis, whereas GDL can inhibit endoplasmic reticulum stress, calcium overload and apoptosis by inhibiting PERK/ATF4/CHOP pathway to attenuate PAF-induced neuronal injury.
