In the present study, we determined the protective role of lutein against Aβ_25–35 peptide-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in bEND.3 cells. Cell viability was determined through MTT assay. Reactive oxygen species, lipid peroxides, and antioxidant enzyme activities were evaluated to analyze the oxidative stress status. NF-κB and Nrf-2 downstream target protein expressions were determined through western blot. Apoptosis was analyzed through caspase activities and subG1 accumulation. The results showed that Aβ_25–35 significantly increased (p < 0.001) oxidative stress biomarkers. Aβ_25–35 significantly up-regulated NF-κB nuclear expression and down-regulated Nrf-2 levels and HO-1 and, NQO-1 expressions. Aβ_25–35 induced apoptosis through decreasing mitochondrial membrane potential and increasing caspase 9 and 3 activities. Lutein pre-treatment significantly (p < 0.001) improved cell viability and decreased ROS levels (p < 0.001) and lipid peroxidation (p < 0.01). Lutein prevented Aβ_25–35-induced NF-κB nuclear expressions and up-regulated Nrf-2 expressions. Further, lutein also improved mitochondrial membrane potential and down-regulated caspase activities and subG1 accumulation. The present study shows the protective role of lutein against Aβ_25–35-induced toxicity by modulating Nrf-2 and NF-κB expressions in cerebrovascular endothelial cells.
