Cadmium (Cd), a highly toxic environmental pollutant, induces neurodegenerative diseases. Recently we have demonstrated that Cd induces neuronal apoptosis in part through activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway. However, the underlying mechanism is unknown. Here we show that Cd induced generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by upregulating expression of NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) and its regulatory proteins (p22phox, p67phox, p40phox, p47phox and Rac1) in PC12 and SH-SY5Y cells. Cd induction of ROS contributed to activation of mTOR signaling, as pretreatment with N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), a ROS scavenger, prevented this event. Further studies reveal that Cd induction of ROS increased phosphorylation of type I insulin-like growth factor receptor β subunit (IGFRβ), which was abrogated by NAC. Wortmannin, a phosphoinositide 3′-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor, partially attenuated Cd-induced phosphorylation of Akt, p70 S6 kinase 1 (S6K1) and eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) binding protein 1 (4E-BP1), as well as apoptosis of the neuronal cells. In addition, overexpression of wild-type phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) or pretreatment with aminoimidazole carboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR), an AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activator, partially prevented Cd-induced ROS and activation of mTOR pathway, as well as cell death. The results indicate that Cd induction of ROS activates mTOR signaling, leading to neuronal cell death, in part by activating the positive regulators IGFR/PI3K, and by inhibiting the negative regulators PTEN/AMPK. The findings suggest that the inhibitors of PI3K and mTOR, activators of AMPK, or antioxidants may be exploited for prevention of Cd-induced neurodegenerative diseases.
