Abstract

Background HS1793, a novel analogue of resveratrol, was previously determined to be more potent at lower dosages by improving mitochondrial function and increased mitochondrial biogenesis-related proteins. In this study, we focused on targeting the mitochondria to address muscle wasting with HS-1793.

Method Dosage screening was performed by evaluating for cytotoxicity and cell proliferation. Mitochondrial mass, mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm), reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, and mitochondria biogenesis-regulated genes and proteins were analyzed to determine the effects on mitochondrial biogenesis.

Results HS-1793 reduced ROS generation, but treatment did not interfere with cellular viability at low dosages. HS-1793 also regulated mitochondrial function by increasing cellular and mitochondrial ATP synthesis function, stabilizing Δψm and decreasing ROS. More importantly, these dysfunction in these parameters were ameliorated by HS-1793 in a simulated oxidative stress model with tBHP. We also observed increase in mitochondrial mass and upregulation in vital mitochondrial biogenesis-related gene PGC1-α as a response to HS-1793 treatment. Moreover, phosphorylation of AKT and mTOR proteins, which are considered as regulators of skeletal muscle function were also increased during the treatment. Finally, HS-1793 also demonstrated protective effects against cisplatin-induced skeletal muscle cell injury by increasing expression of mitochondrial biogenesis-relate markers.

Conclusion Taken altogether, it shows the viability of HS-1793 as a compound that can restore mitochondrial function and render protection in skeletal muscle cells, especially during high oxidative stress levels.
