The a-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (KGDHC) is a mitochondrial enzyme in the TCA cycle. Inhibition of KGDHC activity by alpha-keto-beta-methyl-n-valeric acid (KMV) is associated with neuron death. However, the effect of KMV in microglia is unclear. Therefore, we investigated the effect of KMV on BV-2 microglial cells exposed to hypoxia or oxidative stress. The results showed that KMV (1-20 mM) enhanced the cell viability under hypoxia. KMV dose-dependently reduced ROS and LDH releases from hypoxic BV-2 cells. KMV also reduced ROS production and enhanced the cell viability under H2O2 but failed to reduce the SIN-1 and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) toxicity. KMV also reduced caspase-3 and -9 activation under stress. These results suggest that KMV protects BV-2 cells from stress and acts by reducing ROS production through inhibition of KDGHC.
