Because glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) is considered to be a critical factor in regulating neuronal cell survival and death, we studied the effects of modulating GSK-3 activity in cultured neurons treated with the mitochondrial inhibitor, rotenone.

To test if these regulatory interactions applied to other mitochondrial complex I inhibitors, cells were treated with rotenone.

Glycogen synthase kinase-3 often promotes apoptosis, so this investigation tested whether glycogen synthase kinase-3 is linked to oxidative stress-induced apoptosis.
Both intrinsic oxidative stress induced by the mitochondrial inhibitor rotenone and extrinsic oxidative stress induced by exogenously added H2O2 activated Bax, caspase-2, and caspase-3 in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells.

Glycogen synthase kinase 3beta (GSK3beta), a multifunctional serine/threonine kinase, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegeneration.

Pretreatment of SH-SY5Y cells for 7 days, but not 1 day, with 1 mM of lithium or 0.6 mM of valproate significantly reduced rotenone and H2O2-induced cytotoxicity, cytochrome c release and caspase-3 activation, and increased Bcl-2 levels.
