medicine | incubation of microglial cultures in the presence of fibrillar amyloid beta1-42 induces the assembly and the activation of NADPH oxidase, and triggers the production of superoxide anion-derived reactive oxygen species. Pretreatment of microglia with melatonin dosedependently prevents the activation of NADPH oxidase and decreases the production of reactive oxygen species. Melatonin inhibits the phosphorylation of the p47phox subunit of NADPH oxidase via a PI3K/Akt-dependent signalling pathway, blocks the translocation of p47phox and p67phox subunit to the membrane, down-regulates the binding of p47phox to gp91phox, and impairs the assembly of NADPH oxidase | Rattus norvegicus |
