Aluminum compounds have been observed in various brain regions, and their accumulation has been associated with many neurodegenerative disorders. Neurotoxic effects of aluminum are attributed to reactive oxygen species generation, induction of apoptosis and inflammatory reactions activation. Metalloestrogen activity of aluminum has also been linked to breast cancer progression and metastasis. In this study, taking into account the anti-apoptotic and anti-oxidant activities of estrogens in neuronal cells, which are mediated by estrogen receptors, the possible estrogenic activity of aluminum in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells was studied. Our results showed that aluminum in the form of aluminum chlorohydrate (ACH) exhibited no effect on estrogen receptors transcriptional activation, and differential effect on estrogen receptor alpha (ER alpha) and estrogen receptor beta (ER beta) protein levels. ACH caused reduction in ER beta protein levels, and increase in its mitochondria] localization. ACH-induced reduction in ER beta protein level may be linked, at least in part, to the ACH-induced increase in ER alpha protein level. This statement is based on our observations showing aluminum-induced reduction in the E2induced increase in ER alpha S118 phosphorylation, in MCF-7 and SH-SH5Y cells. Phosphorylation at S118 residue is known to be associated with inhibition of the ubiquitin-induced proteolytic degradation of ER alpha, leading to its accumulation. Since it is known that ER alpha negatively regulate ERO expression, increase in ER alpha, may contribute to reduction in ER beta levels and subsequent weakening of its anti-apoptotic and anti-oxidant activity, justified by the observed reduction in procaspase 9, mitochondrial cytochrome c, Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and mitochondrial thioredoxin protein level, as well as by the increase in proapoptotic BAX level, in ACH treated SH-SY5Y cells. In addition, increase in mitochondria] ER beta localization may also trigger mitochondrial metabolism, suppress biosynthetic process of gluconeogenesis, as indicated by the observed reduction in the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase protein level, and eventually lead to increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, known to be implicated in aluminum induced neurodegeneration. This statement was verified by the observed ACH-induced increase in ER beta mitochondrial localization, induction of the mitochondrial membrane depolarization and increase in ROS production, in neuronal-like differentiated SH-SY5Y cells.
