Introduction</title><p>Trace nutrients contained in plants such as vitamins and minerals are essential for human health. Essential oils used in aromatherapy are also useful for health maintenance as with these trace nutrients contained in plants. Aromatherapy is one of the folk remedies that encompasses the use of essential oils derived from various types of plant sources for a variety of application methods and is widely used as a complementary and alternative therapy for symptoms including anxiety and depression [<xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>]. Ohno-Sadachi et al. reported that the odor of lavender ameliorates the influence of stress on the brain mechanisms subserving the circadian rhythm of autonomic nervous activities and maintains their activity pattern during sleep [<xref rid="B2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>]. Furthermore, bergamot may be useful as an aromatherapeutic agent for minimizing the symptoms of stress-induced anxiety, mild mood disorders, and cancer-related pain [<xref rid="B3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>]. The effects of aromatherapy are theorized to result from the binding of chemical components in the essential oil to receptors in the olfactory bulb, impacting the brain's emotional center, the limbic system. The stimulated brain may affect physiological functions of the autonomic nervous, endocrine, and immune systems via hormones, neurotransmitters, and cytokines. Fragrance compounds and essential oils with sedative effects were found to influence the motility of mice in inhalation studies under standardized conditions [<xref rid="B4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>]. The researchers also found significant levels of the fragrance compounds in the plasma after inhalation, suggesting that the effects of aromatherapy result from a direct pharmacological interaction rather than an indirect central nervous system relay.</p><p>The prevalence of senile dementia, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular-type senile dementia (VD), is increasing worldwide. In senile dementia, marked death of neurons in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus is observed. However, the prime cause of neuronal death is identical. VD is a cerebrovascular disease and mainly occurs after transient global ischemia. It is widely accepted that excess zinc (Zn) which is secreted during ischemia conditions causes neuronal death and plays a central role in the pathogenesis of VD. Meanwhile, it is widely accepted that the oligomerization of <italic>β</italic>-amyloid protein (A<italic>β</italic>P) and its neurotoxicity are crucial for the pathogenesis of AD. We have demonstrated that aluminum enhanced the oligomerization of A<italic>β</italic>P. Epidemiological studies have suggested that aluminum (Al) in drinking water is a risk factor for AD. In recent years, the potential of nonpharmacological therapies such as aromatherapy for the prevention of senile dementia has been studied [<xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>]. The efficacy of aromatherapy has been investigated in clinical trials and in physiological psychology studies and as the animal use alternative. In these studies, a variety of factors (e.g., the dose and the injection route of the essential oil and the preference and the mental condition of the human subjects) affect the experimental results, materially. Hence, to elucidate the pharmacological effects of aromatic oils, the development of an easily controlled evaluation system is needed.</p><p>Following this need, we attempted to evaluate the pharmacological effects of aromatic oils employing our previously developed rapid, sensitive, and convenient assay system for high-throughput screening of such substances using GT1–7 cells (immortalized hypothalamic neurons) [<xref rid="B6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>]. The GT1–7 cells, which were developed by genetically targeting the tumorigenesis of mouse hypothalamic neurons, possess a number of neuronal characteristics, such as the extension of neurites, secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), and expression of receptors and neuron-specific proteins including the <italic>β</italic>-estradiol (E2) receptor (both the ER<italic>α</italic> and ER<italic>β</italic> subtype), microtubule associated protein 2 (MAP2), tau protein, neurofilament, synaptophysin, GABA<sub>A</sub> receptors, dopamine receptors, and L-type Ca<sup>2+</sup> channels [<xref rid="B7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>]. These properties make the GT1–7 cell line an excellent model system for the investigation of neurotoxicity and endocrine disruption [<xref rid="B8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>, <xref rid="B9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>]. The olfactory system also acts as a gateway to the external environment. Kanayama et al. have shown that intranasally administered metal ions were transported from the nasal cavity to the olfactory bulb via the olfactory nerve pathway and from there to other brain regions such as the hypothalamus and the hippocampus [<xref rid="B10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>]. In the present study, we investigated the effects of essential oils on GT1–7 cytotoxicity induced by H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, Al, Zn, or the estrogen receptor (ER) antagonist (tamoxifen: TMX).</p></sec><sec id="sec2"><title>2.

The Effect of Essential Oils on the Viability of GT1–7 Cells</title><p>We examined the effects of essential oils on the viability of immortalized hypothalamic neurons (GT1–7 cells). <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1"> Figure 1</xref> shows the viability of cultured GT1–7 cells after a 24 h exposure to various essential oils. Several of the essential oils used in this study affect the viability of GT1–7 cells. We observed a significant increase in the viability of GT1–7 cells exposed grapefruit, lemon, or rosalina oil. On the other hand, the exposure to lavender, myrrh, or ylang ylang significantly decreased cell viability. These findings suggest that several essential oils may affect neuronal cells by a direct pharmacological interaction.</p></sec><sec id="sec3.2"><title>3.2. The Protective Activities of Essential Oils against Various Cytotoxic Agents</title><p>GT1–7 cells were treated with various essential oils and cytotoxic agents (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, Al, and Zn) to investigate the protective activities of essential oils against neurotoxicity. H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> is known to produce a hydroxyl radical, thereby inducing cytotoxicity. Neuronal Al accumulation can result in neuron dysfunction and toxicity [<xref rid="B13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>]. Furthermore, we previously reported that Zn is neurotoxic, causes neurodegeneration following transient global ischemia, and plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of VD [<xref rid="B10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>]. In this study, the abovementioned compounds caused cytotoxicity in a dose-dependent manner (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Figure 2</xref>). Treatment with 20 <italic>μ</italic>M H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, 100 <italic>μ</italic>M Al, and 25 <italic>μ</italic>M Zn decreased GT1–7 cell viability to 42.2 ± 4.3%, 48.0 ± 2.5%, and 51.9 ± 7.0%, respectively (Figures <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">3(a)</xref>–<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">3(c)</xref>).</p><p>As shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3(a)</xref>, damask rose, eucalyptus, fennel, geranium, ginger, kabosu, mandarin, myrrh, and neroli oil significantly increased the viability of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>-treated GT1–7 cells. However, these essential oils did not increase GT1–7 viability by themselves. These compounds may protect against H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>-induced neurotoxicity. The protective effects of essential oils against H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>-induced neurotoxicity increased in a dose-dependent manner. <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3"> Figure 3(d)</xref> showed some examples of these effects. Essential oil extracted from aromatic plant material is a mixture of various organic compounds. Numerous components of essential oils may be involved in these protective effects. For example, many of these oils contain terpene (e.g., geraniol, limonene, linalool, and <italic>α</italic>-pinene) (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab1">Table 1</xref>). It has been reported that many of these terpenes have antioxidative activity [<xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>], which may contribute to the neuroprotective activities of these oils.</p><p>Damask rose and lemon oil increased the viability of Al-treated GT1–7 cells (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3(b)</xref>). Damask rose oil protected against Al-induced neurotoxicity but had no effect on the viability of untreated cells. On the other hand, various essential oils, especially eucalyptus, frankincense, grapefruit, and orange oil, augmented Al-induced neurotoxicity. Some ingredients in these essential oils may be involved in the enhancement of Al-induced neurotoxicity or in intracellular Al accumulation. Exposure of Zn-treated GT1–7 cells to geranium or rosemary oil enhanced their viability, while exposure to clove, rosewood, or ylang ylang oil decreased their viability (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3(c)</xref>). Geranium and rosemary oil may have a protective effect against Zn-induced neurotoxicity, because both of these oils did not affect general GT1–7 viability. As in the case of cotreatment with H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, the protective effects of essential oils against Al- or Zn-induced neurotoxicity increased in a dose- dependent manner (data not shown). Kawahara et al. have demonstrated that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) markedly attenuated the Al-induced neurotoxicity, and Al inhibited the BDNF-induced elevation of intracellular calcium levels [<xref rid="B15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>]. We have shown that ER stress and the disruption of calcium homeostasis are the underlying mechanisms of Zn-induced neurotoxicity [<xref rid="B9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>]. Several histidine-related compounds, such as carnosine and anserine, protected against Zn-induced neurotoxicity by participating in the regulation of the ER-stress pathway and the activity-regulated cytoskeletal protein (Arc) [<xref rid="B12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>, <xref rid="B16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>]. The coexistence of a membrane impermeable chelator such as Ca–EDTA with these metal ions can protect neurons from these metals that induced neurotoxicity by binding to metals in the culture medium and thereby inhibiting metal influx into the cells [<xref rid="B12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>]. The investigation of the mechanisms underlying the neuroprotective activities of essential oils may lead to the development of therapeutic agents for several neurodegenerative diseases such as AD and VD.</p></sec><sec id="sec3.3"><title>3.3. The Effects of Essential Oils on Estrogen Receptor Mediated Cell Signaling</title><p>The GT1–7 cell line is also a useful model for the investigation of endocrine-disrupting effects, and the antagonist of ER (TMX) was used to induce GT1–7 cell death [<xref rid="B17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>]. In this study, we evaluated caused cytotoxicity in a dose-dependent manner. Treatment with 0.5 <italic>μ</italic>M of TMX significantly decreased GT1–7 cell viability to 69.9 ± 4.6% (<italic>P</italic> < 0.01 versus the control group). The administration of lime, mandarin, or neroli oil significantly inhibited TMX-induced cytotoxicity. In contrast, administration of geranium or ginger augmented TMX-induced cytotoxicity without directly reducing GT1–7 cell viability (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Figure 4(a)</xref>). The effects of essential oils on TMX-induced cytotoxicity increased in a dose-dependent manner. <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4"> Figure 4(b)</xref> showed some examples of these effects. The mechanisms underlying these effects of essential oils are under investigation. These essential oils may act as an agonist or an ER antagonist, and this hypothesis may be involved in the mechanism of the regulation of TMX-induced cell death by these essential oils. It has also been suggested that geranium oil affects ER-mediated signal regulation. Nakamura et al. reported that geranium oil might be useful for the amelioration of symptoms linked to premenstrual syndrome (PMS) [<xref rid="B18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>]. E2 is involved in the regulation of the GnRH secretion through the conjunction with ER. Geranium oil may affect GnRH secretion through the ER, contributing to the moderating effect of this oil on PMS. Geranium oil also contains geraniol, which has been suggested to have estrogenic activity [<xref rid="B19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>].</p></sec></sec><sec id="sec4"><title>4. Conclusion</title><p>We showed the effects of various essential oils on multiple kinds of cytotoxicity using a convenient<italic> in vitro</italic> assay system. Essential oils contain various organic compounds such as terpenoid (see “major component” in <xref ref-type="table" rid="tab1">Table 1</xref>). For example, limonene has been reported to have numerous beneficial effects, including antioxidant [<xref rid="B20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>, <xref rid="B21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>] activities and promotion of neural cell differentiation [<xref rid="B22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>]. Limonene is a monoterpene present in citrus essential oils and in many other essential oils (e.g., fennel, geranium, kabosu, myrrh, and neroli) and was shown to attenuate neuronal death induced by H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>. Citronellol has been reported to have its antioxidant properties [<xref rid="B23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>] and is present in damask rose, geranium, and rose. Various organic compounds in essential oils including these components may be involved in the pharmacological and protective effects of essential oils.</p><p>The GT1–7 cell line is a useful model of the neuroendocrine system, and the<italic> in vitro</italic> evaluation system using this cell line is a straightforward analysis system for the investigation of neurotoxicity and endocrine disruptive effects. In this study, several essential oils such as geranium oil showed neuroprotective and ER-mediating activities. Essential oil is a mixture of various organic compounds, and the effects of essential oils may be owing to the synergistic or competitive action of these compounds. The essential compounds and the underlying mechanisms of the effects of essential oils shown in this study need to be identified in the future. In conclusion, we hope that our screening method may be beneficial for the development of drugs for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases or harmful endocrine disruptors.</p></sec></body><back><ack><title>Acknowledgments</title><p>The authors would like to thank Ms. Ayako Shimura, Ms. Noriko Itakura, Ms. Yui Tamura, Ms. Kaori Masaki, Mr. Naoya Murata, and Ms. Yasuka Yoshida for their technical assistance.</p></ack><sec sec-type="conflict"><title>Conflict of Interests</title><p>The authors declare no conflict of interests.</p></sec><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Cooke</surname><given-names>B.</given-names></name><name><surname>Ernst</surname><given-names>E.</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>Aromatherapy: a systematic review</article-title><source><italic>British Journal of General Practice</italic></source><year>2000</year><volume>50</volume><issue>455</issue><fpage>493</fpage><lpage>496</lpage><pub-id pub-id-type="other">2-s2.0-0033841016</pub-id><pub-id pub-id-type="pmid">10962794</pub-id></element-citation></ref><ref id="B2"><label>2</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Ohno-Sadachi</surname><given-names>H.</given-names></name><name><surname>Saitoh</surname><given-names>J.</given-names></name><name><surname>Nagai</surname><given-names>M.</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>The odor of lavender maintains the pattern of autonomic nervous activities during sleep in humans exposed to stress</article-title><source><italic>Mt.
