Abstract:	Epidemiological studies have linked herbicides and Parkinson's disease (PD), with the strongest associations resulting from long exposure durations. Paraquat (PQ), an herbicide, induces PD-like syndromes and has widely been accepted as a PD mimetic. Currently, there is still no cure to prevent the progression of PD, and the search for effective therapeutic ways is urgent. Recently, the impairing activity of sirtuins (SIRTs), such as SIRT1, may correlate with PD etiology. However, the nonspecificity of SIRT1 agonists has made the protective mechanisms against PD unclear and hampered the therapeutic application of SIRT1. Thus, this study investigated the protective mechanism and therapeutic potential of SRT1720, a more specific agonist for SIRT1 synthesized by Sirtris, in alleviating the toxicity of PQ-induced cellular and animal models of PD. Here we show that SRT1720 alleviates PQ-induced toxicity in cell and animal models. Genetic silencing and pharmacological inhibition of SIRT1 attenuated SRT1720's protection against PQ-induced toxicity. Moreover, SRT1720 not only attenuated PQ-induced increased oxidative stress and mitochondrial free radical formations but also decreased mitochondrial membrane potential. Furthermore, SRT1720 reversed PQ-induced decreased PGC-1α levels and mitochondrial biogenesis. Although PQ and SRT1720 elevated NRF2 and antioxidative enzyme levels, only PQ decreased antioxidative enzyme activity but not SRT1720. NRF2 and PGC-1α silencing attenuated SRT1720 protection against PQ-induced toxicity. SRT1720 targeted SIRT1 and activated downstream PGC-1α and NRF2 signalings to prevent PQ-induced toxicity involving oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Thus, SRT1720 might have therapeutic potential in preventing PD.
