Lithium Fails to Protect Dopaminergic Neurons in the 6-OHDA Model of Parkinson’s Disease 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Lithium has been used for the treatment of bipolar mood disorder and is shown to have neuroprotective properties. Since lithium
inhibits the activity of glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) which is implicated in various human diseases, particularly neurodegenerative
diseases, the therapeutic potential of lithium receives great attention. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common
neurodegenerative disease, characterized by the pathological loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta
(SNpc). Intranigral injection of the catecholaminergic neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) causes selective and progressive
degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in SNpc, and is a commonly used animal model of PD. The current study was designated
to determine whether lithium is effective in alleviating 6-OHDA-induced neurodegeneration in the SNpc of rats. We demonstrated
that chronic subcutaneous administration of lithium inhibited GSK3 activity in the SNpc, which was evident by an increase
in phosphorylation of GSK3β at serine 9, cyclin D1 expression, and a decrease in tau phosphorylation. 6-OHDA did not affect
GSK3 activity in the SNpc. Moreover, lithium was unable to alleviate 6-OHDA-induced degeneration of SNpc dopaminergic neurons.
The results suggest that GSK3 is minimally involved in the neurodegeneration in the rat 6-OHDA model of PD. 相似文献

Serofendic acid was recently identified as a neuroprotective factor from fetal calf serum. This study was designed to evaluate the neuroprotective effects of an intranigral microinjection of serofendic acid based on behavioral, neurochemical and histochemical studies in hemi-parkinsonian rats using 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA). Rats were injected with 6-OHDA in the presence or absence of serofendic acid, or were treated with serofendic acid on the same lateral side, at 12, 24 or 72 h after 6-OHDA lesion. Intranigral injection of 6-OHDA alone induced a massive loss of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-immunopositive neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc). Either simultaneous or 12 h post-administration of serofendic acid significantly prevented both dopaminergic neurodegeneration and drug-induced rotational asymmetry. Immunoreactivities for oxidative stress markers, such as 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT) and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE), were markedly detected in the SNpc of rats injected with 6-OHDA alone. These immunoreactivities were markedly suppressed by the co-administration of serofendic acid, similar to the results in vehicle-treated control rats. In addition, serofendic acid inhibited 6-OHDA-induced alpha-synuclein expression and glial activation in the SNpc. These results suggest that serofendic acid protects against 6-OHDA-induced SNpc dopaminergic neurodegeneration in a rat model of Parkinson's disease. 相似文献

BackgroundParkinson’s disease (PD) is the common neurodegenerative disorder in the elderly characterized by motor symptoms such as tremors, which is caused by selective loss of nigral dopaminergic neurons. Oxidative stress induced by the auto-oxidation of dopamine has been implicated as a key cause of the selective loss of dopaminergic neurons.MethodsTo understand the selective loss of nigral dopaminergic neurons, the PD pathogenesis is reviewed focused on paraquat (PQ) and 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced PD in rats.ResultsReactive oxygen species (ROS), which are produced by PQ and 6-OHDA, are retrogradely transported to presynaptic glutamatergic neuron terminals. ROS activate presynaptic transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) cation channels and induce extracellular glutamate accumulation in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc), followed by age-related intracellular Zn2+ dysregulation. Loss of nigral dopaminergic neurons is accelerated by age-related intracellular Zn2+ dysregulation in the SNpc of rat PD models. The intracellular Zn2+ dysregulation in nigral dopaminergic neurons is linked with the rapid influx of extracellular Zn2+ via postsynaptic AMPA receptor activation, suggesting that PQ- and 6-OHDA-induced pathogenesis is linked with age-related intracellular Zn2+ dysregulation in the SNpc. Postsynaptic TRPM2 channels may be also involved in intracellular Zn2+ dysregulation in the SNpc.ConclusionA novel mechanism of nigral dopaminergic degeneration, in which ROS induce rapid intracellular Zn2+ dysregulation, figures out the PD pathogenesis induced by PQ and 6-OHDA in rats. This review deals with new insight into PD pathogenesis from ROS-mediated extracellular Zn2+ influx and its proposed defense strategy. 相似文献

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease characterized by a significant loss of dopaminergic neurons within the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) and a subsequent loss of dopamine (DA) within the striatum. Despite advances in the development of pharmacological therapies that are effective at alleviating the symptoms of PD, the search for therapeutic treatments that halt or slow the underlying nigral degeneration remains a particular challenge. Activin A, a member of the transforming growth factor β superfamily, has been shown to play a role in the neuroprotection of midbrain neurons against 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) in vitro, suggesting that activin A may offer similar neuroprotective effects in in vivo models of PD. Using robust stereological methods, we found that intrastriatal injections of 6-OHDA results in a significant loss of both TH positive and NeuN positive populations in the SNpc at 1, 2, and 3 weeks post-lesioning in drug naïve mice. Exogenous application of activin A for 7 days, beginning the day prior to 6-OHDA administration, resulted in a significant survival of both dopaminergic and total neuron numbers in the SNpc against 6-OHDA-induced toxicity. However, we found no corresponding protection of striatal DA or dopamine transporter (DAT) expression levels in animals receiving activin A compared to vehicle controls. These results provide the first evidence that activin A exerts potent neuroprotection in a mouse model of PD, however this neuroprotection may be localized to the midbrain. 相似文献

6-Hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), a metabolite of dopamine is known to induce dopaminergic cell toxicity which makes that a suitable agent inducing an experimental model of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Agmatine has been shown to protect against some cellular and animal PD models. This study was aimed to assess whether agmatine prevents 6-OHDA-induced SH-SY5Y cell death and if yes, then how it affects Akt/glycogen synthesis kinase-3β (GSK-3β) and extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) signals. The cells were treated with different drugs, and their viability was examined via MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay and morphological observation. Western blot studies were done to assess cleaved caspase-3, Akt/GSK-3β, and ERK proteins. 6-OHDA-induced cell death and caspase-3 cleavage, while agmatine prevented those changes. 6-OHDA also decreased the amount of phosphorylated Akt (pAkt)/Akt while increased GSK-3β activity which was prevented by agmatine. Additionally, this toxin increased pERK/ERK ratio which was averted again by agmatine. The PI3/Akt inhibitor, LY294002, impeded the changes induced by agmatine, while ERK inhibitor (PD98059) did not disturb the effects of agmatine, and by itself, it preserved the cells against 6-OHDA toxicity. This study revealed that agmatine is protective in 6-OHDA model of PD and affects Akt/GSK-3β and ERK pathways. 相似文献

Bax is translocated into the mitochondrial membrane and oligomerized therein to initiate mitochondrial apoptotic signaling.
Our previous study indicated that reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)
and caspase is critically involved in 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-mediated neurodegeneration. Here, we specifically attempted
to examine whether and how these death signaling pathways may be linked to Bax translocation and oligomerization. We found
that 6-OHDA treatment triggered translocation and oligomerization of Bax onto the mitochondria in MN9D dopaminergic neuronal
cells. These events preceded cytochrome c release into the cytosol. Cross-linking assay revealed that co-treatment with a ROS scavenger or a pan-caspase inhibitor
inhibited 6-OHDA-induced Bax oligomerization. Among several candidates of ROS-activated MAPKs and caspases, we found that
co-treatment with PD169316 or VDVAD specifically inhibited 6-OHDA-induced Bax oligomerization, suggesting critical involvement
of p38 MAPK and caspase-2. Consequently, overexpression of a dominant negative form of p38 MAPK or a shRNA-mediated knockdown
of caspase-2 indeed inhibited 6-OHDA-induced Bax oligomerization. However, activation of p38 MAPK and caspase-2 was independently
linked to oligomerization of Bax. This specificity was largely confirmed with a Bax 6A7 antibody known to detect activated
forms of Bax on the mitochondria. Taken together, our data suggest that there is an independent amplification loop of Bax
translocation and oligomerization via caspase-2 and p38 MAPK during ROS-mediated dopaminergic neurodegeneration. 相似文献

The nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) family plays an important role in the control of the apoptotic response. Its activation has been demonstrated in both neurons and glial cells in many neurological disorders. In the present study, we specifically examined whether and to what extent NF-kappaB activation is involved in culture models of Parkinson's disease following exposure of MN9D dopaminergic neuronal cells to 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) and 1-methyl-4-phenyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP(+)). Both analysis by immunocytochemistry and of immunoblots revealed that NF-kappaB-p65 was translocated into the nuclei following 6-OHDA but not MPP(+)-treatment. A time-dependent activation of NF-kappaB induced by 6-OHDA but not MPP(+) was also demonstrated by an electrophoretic mobility shift assay. A competition assay indicated that not only NF-kappaB-p65 but also -p50 is involved in 6-OHDA-induced NF-kappaB activity. Co-treatment with an antioxidant, N-acetyl-l-cysteine, blocked 6-OHDA-induced activation of NF-kappaB signaling. In the presence of an NF-kappaB inhibitor, pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), 6-OHDA-induced cell death was accelerated while PDTC did not affect MPP(+)-induced cell death. Our data may point to a drug-specific activation of NF-kappaB as a survival determinant for dopaminergic neurons. 相似文献

Despite the identification of several mutations in familial Parkinson's disease (PD), the underlying mechanisms of dopaminergic neuronal loss in idiopathic PD are still unknown. To study whether caspase-dependent apoptosis may play a role in the pathogenesis of PD, we examined 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) toxicity in dopaminergic SH-SY5Y cells and in embryonic dopaminergic mesencephalic cultures. 6-OHDA induced activation of caspases 3, 6 and 9, chromatin condensation and cell death in SH-SY5Y cells. The caspase inhibitor benzyloxycarbonyl-Val-Ala-Asp-(O-methyl)fluoromethylketone (zVAD-fmk) or adenovirally mediated ectopic expression of the X-chromosomal inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) blocked caspase activation and prevented death of SH-SY5Y cells. Similarly, zVAD-fmk provided protection from 6-OHDA-induced loss of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive neurones in mesencephalic cultures. In contrast, zVAD-fmk failed to protect mesencephalic dopaminergic neurones from 6-OHDA-induced loss of neurites and reduction of [(3)H]dopamine uptake. These data suggest that, although caspase inhibition provides protection from 6-OHDA-induced death of dopaminergic neurones, the neurones may remain functionally impaired. 相似文献

Parkinson’s disease (PD), characterized by loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, is a neurodegenerative disorder of central nervous system. The present study was designed to investigate the therapeutic effect of ACS84, a hydrogen sulfide-releasing-L-Dopa derivative compound, in a 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced PD model. ACS84 protected the SH-SY5Y cells against 6-OHDA-induced cell injury and oxidative stress. The protective effect resulted from stimulation of Nrf-2 nuclear translocation and promotion of anti-oxidant enzymes expression. In the 6-OHDA-induced PD rat model, intragastric administration of ACS84 relieved the movement dysfunction of the model animals. Immunofluorescence staining and High-performance liquid chromatography analysis showed that ACS84 alleviated the loss of tyrosine-hydroxylase positive neurons in the substantia nigra and the declined dopamine concentration in the injured striatums of the 6-OHDA-induced PD model. Moreover, ACS84 reversed the elevated malondialdehyde level and the decreased glutathione level in vivo. In conclusion, ACS84 may prevent neurodegeneration via the anti-oxidative mechanism and has potential therapeutic values for Parkinson’s disease. 相似文献

Neuronal transfer of the human Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase gene increases the resistance of dopaminergic neurons to 6-hydroxydopamine 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Several mechanisms are thought to be involved in the progressive decline in neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) that leads to Parkinson's disease (PD). Neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), which induces parkinsonian symptoms in experimental animals, is thought to be formed endogenously in patients with PD through dopamine (DA) oxidation and may cause dopaminergic cell death via a free radical mechanism. We therefore investigated protection against 6-OHDA by inhibiting oxidative stress using a gene transfer strategy. We overexpressed the antioxidative Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1) enzyme in primary culture dopaminergic cells by infection with an adenovirus carrying the human SOD1 gene (Ad-hSOD1). Survival of the dopaminergic cells exposed to 6-OHDA was 50% higher among the SOD1-producing cells than the cells infected with control adenoviruses. In contrast, no significant increased survival of (6-OHDA)-treated dopaminergic cells was observed when they were infected with an adenovirus expressing the H(2) O(2) -scavenging glutathione peroxidase (GPx) enzyme. These results underline the major contribution of superoxide in the dopaminergic cell death process induced by 6-OHDA in primary cultures. Overall, this study demonstrates that the survival of the dopaminergic neurons can be highly increased by the adenoviral gene transfer of SOD1. An antioxidant gene transfer strategy using viral vectors expressing SOD1 is therefore potentially beneficial for protecting dopaminergic neurons in PD. 相似文献

6-Hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a neurotoxin to produce an animal model of Parkinson's disease. 6-OHDA increased the formation of 8-oxo-7, 8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG), a biomarker of oxidatively damaged DNA, and induced apoptosis in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. Iron or copper chelators inhibited 6-OHDA-induced 8-oxodG formation and apoptosis. Thus, iron and copper are involved in the intracellular oxidatively generated damage to DNA, a stimulus for initiating apoptosis. This study examined DNA damage caused by 6-OHDA plus metal ions using (32)P-5'-end-labelled DNA fragments. 6-OHDA increased levels of oxidatively damaged DNA in the presence of Fe(III)EDTA or Cu(II). Cu(II)-mediated DNA damage was stronger than Fe(III)-mediated DNA damage. The spectrophotometric detection of p-quinone and the scopoletin method showed that Cu(II) more effectively accelerated the 6-OHDA auto-oxidation and H(2)O(2) generation than Fe(III)EDTA. This study suggests that copper, as well as iron, may play an important role in 6-OHDA-induced neuronal cell death. 相似文献

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common, late-onset movement disorder with selective degeneration of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra (SN). Although the neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) has been used to induce progressive degeneration of DA neurons in various animal models of PD, the precise molecular pathway and the impact of anti-apoptotic treatment on this neurodegeneration are less understood. Following a striatal injection of 6-OHDA, we observed atrophy and progressive death of DA neurons in wild-type mice. These degenerating DA neurons never exhibited signs of apoptosis (i.e., caspase-3 activation and cytoplasmic release of cytochrome C), but rather show nuclear translocation of apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF), a hallmark of regulated necrosis. However, mice with genetic deletion of the proapoptotic gene Bax (Bax-KO) exhibited a complete absence of 6-OHDA-induced DA neuron death and nuclear translocation of AIF, indicating that 6-OHDA-induced DA neuronal death is mediated by Bax-dependent AIF activation. On the other hand, DA neurons that survived in Bax-KO mice exhibited marked neuronal atrophy, without significant improvement of PD-related behavioral deficits. These findings suggest that anti-apoptotic therapy may not be sufficient for PD treatment, and the prevention of Bax-independent neuronal atrophy may be an important therapeutic target. 相似文献

Both enantiomers of 2-methyl-3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazine-2-carboxylic acid 2 and 2,4-dimethyl-3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazine-2-carboxylic acid 3 were prepared via resolution of the corresponding racemic carboxylic acids with (R)- and (S)-1-phenylethylamine, respectively. Absolute configuration of (−)-(R)-2-methyl-3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazine-2-carboxylic acid was determined by X-ray crystallography. Curtius rearrangement of acyl azides prepared from enantiomers of these heterocyclic carboxylic acids carried out in benzyl alcohol afforded enantiomers of the corresponding benzyl carbamates, which upon hydrogenolysis gave racemic 2-amino-2-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3-one 4 and 2-amino-2,4-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4h-benzoxazin-3-one 5.

Enriched environment (EE) is neuroprotective in several animal models of neurodegeneration. It stimulates the expression of trophic factors and modifies the astrocyte cell population which has been said to exert neuroprotective effects. We have investigated the effects of EE on 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced neuronal death after unilateral administration to the medial forebrain bundle, which reaches 85–95% of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra after 3 weeks. Continuous exposure to EE 3 weeks before and after 6-OHDA injection prevents neuronal death (assessed by tyrosine hydroxylase staining), protects the nigrostriatal pathway (assessed by Fluorogold retrograde labeling) and reduces motor impairment. Four days after 6-OHDA injection, EE was associated with a marked increase in glial fibrillary acidic protein staining and prevented neuronal death (assessed by Fluoro Jade-B) but not partial loss of tyrosine hydroxylase staining in the anterior substantia nigra. These results robustly demonstrate that EE preserves the entire nigrostriatal system against 6-OHDA-induced toxicity, and suggests that an early post-lesion astrocytic reaction may participate in the neuroprotective mechanism. 相似文献

Neuroprotective effects of Astragaloside IV in 6-hydroxydopamine-treated primary nigral cell culture 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Parkinson's disease (PD) is caused by a progressive degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Oxidative stress and neural degeneration are suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. In the present study, Astragaloside IV (AS-IV) extracted from the dried root of Astragalus membranaceus, a well-known Chinese medicine used for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, was investigated for its capacity to protect dopaminergic neurons in experimental Parkinson's disease. By examining the effect of AS-IV on 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced loss of dopaminergic neurons in primary nigral culture, we found that AS-IV pretreatment significantly and dose-dependently attenuated 6-OHDA-induced loss of dopaminergic neurons. Neuronal fiber length studies showed that massive neuronal cell death with degenerated neurons was observed in those cultures incubated with 6-OHDA, whereas in AS-IV co-treatments most dopaminergic neurons were seen to be intact and sprouting. In flow cytometric analysis, AS-IV resulted in a marked and dose-dependent rescue in tyrosine hydrolase (TH)-immunopositive cells from 6-OHDA-induced degeneration of dopaminergic neurons. Double immunofluorescence revealed that AS-IV treatment alone at concentrations of 100 and 200 μM increased the level of TH and NOS (nitrite oxide synthase) immunoreactivities; however, the protective effect of AS-IV on TH and NOS immunopositive cells in 6-OHDA treated nigral cell cultures was only seen at a concentration of 100 μM. These findings show that AS-IV can protect dopaminergic neurons against 6-OHDA-induced degeneration. Besides the neuroprotective effect, AS-IV alone promoted neurite outgrowth and increased TH and NOS immunoreactive of dopaminergic neurons. The neuroprotective and neurosprouting effects of AS-IV are specific for dopaminergic neurons and it has therapeutic potential in the treatment of PD. 相似文献

6-Hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a neurotoxin to produce an animal model of Parkinson's disease. 6-OHDA increased the formation of 8-oxo-7, 8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG), a biomarker of oxidatively damaged DNA, and induced apoptosis in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. Iron or copper chelators inhibited 6-OHDA-induced 8-oxodG formation and apoptosis. Thus, iron and copper are involved in the intracellular oxidatively generated damage to DNA, a stimulus for initiating apoptosis. This study examined DNA damage caused by 6-OHDA plus metal ions using 32P-5′-end-labelled DNA fragments. 6-OHDA increased levels of oxidatively damaged DNA in the presence of Fe(III)EDTA or Cu(II). Cu(II)-mediated DNA damage was stronger than Fe(III)-mediated DNA damage. The spectrophotometric detection of p-quinone and the scopoletin method showed that Cu(II) more effectively accelerated the 6-OHDA auto-oxidation and H2O2 generation than Fe(III)EDTA. This study suggests that copper, as well as iron, may play an important role in 6-OHDA-induced neuronal cell death. 相似文献

Studies involving estrogen treatment of ovariectomized rats or mice have attributed to this hormone a neuroprotective effect on the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) neurons. We investigated the effect of estradiol replacement in ovariectomized rats on the survival of dopaminergic mesencephalic cell and the integrity of their projections to the striatum after microinjections of 1 microg of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) into the right SNpc or medial forebrain bundle (MFB). Estradiol replacement did not prevent the reduction either in the striatal concentrations of DA and metabolites or in the number of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons following lesion with 1 microg of 6-OHDA into the SNpc. Nevertheless, estradiol treatment reduced the decrease in striatal DA following injection of 1 microg of 6-OHDA into the MFB. Results suggest therefore that estrogen protect nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons against a 6-OHDA injury to the MFB but not the SNpc. This may be due to the distinct degree of lesions promoted in these different rat models of Parkinson's disease. 相似文献

Oxidative stress is a major pathophysiological mediator of degenerative processes in many neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson’s disease (PD). Aberrant cell signaling governed by protein phosphorylation has been linked to oxidative damage of dopaminergic neurons in PD. Although several studies have associated activation of certain protein kinases with apoptotic cell death in PD, very little is known about protein kinase regulation of cell survival and protection against oxidative damage and degeneration in dopaminergic neurons. Here, we characterized the PKD1-mediated protective pathway against oxidative damage in cell culture models of PD. Dopaminergic neurotoxicant 6-hydroxy dopamine (6-OHDA) was used to induce oxidative stress in the N27 dopaminergic cell model and in primary mesencephalic neurons. Our results indicated that 6-OHDA induced the PKD1 activation loop (PKD1S744/S748) phosphorylation during early stages of oxidative stress and that PKD1 activation preceded cell death. We also found that 6-OHDA rapidly increased phosphorylation of the C-terminal S916 in PKD1, which is required for PKD1 activation loop (PKD1S744/748) phosphorylation. Interestingly, negative modulation of PKD1 activation by RNAi knockdown or by the pharmacological inhibition of PKD1 by kbNB-14270 augmented 6-OHDA-induced apoptosis, while positive modulation of PKD1 by the overexpression of full length PKD1 (PKD1WT) or constitutively active PKD1 (PKD1S744E/S748E) attenuated 6-OHDA-induced apoptosis, suggesting an anti-apoptotic role for PKD1 during oxidative neuronal injury. Collectively, our results demonstrate that PKD1 signaling plays a cell survival role during early stages of oxidative stress in dopaminergic neurons and therefore, positive modulation of the PKD1-mediated signal transduction pathway can provide a novel neuroprotective strategy against PD. 相似文献

Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are two pathophysiological factors often associated with the neurodegenerative process involved in Parkinson's disease (PD). Although, 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is able to cause dopaminergic neurodegeneration in experimental models of PD by an oxidative stress-mediated process, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. It has been established that some antioxidant enzymes such as catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) are often altered in PD, which suggests a potential role of these enzymes in the onset and/or development of this multifactorial syndrome. In this study we have used high-resolution respirometry to evaluate the effect of 6-OHDA on mitochondrial respiration of isolated rat brain mitochondria and the lactate dehydrogenase cytotoxicity assay to assess the percentage of cell death induced by 6-OHDA in human neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y. Our results show that 6-OHDA affects mitochondrial respiration by causing a reduction in both respiratory control ratio (IC(50)?=?200?±?15?nM) and state 3 respiration (IC(50)?=?192?±?17?nM), with no significant effects on state 4(o). An inhibition in the activity of both complex I and V was also observed. 6-OHDA also caused cellular death in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells (IC(50)?=?100?±?9?μM). Both SOD and CAT have been shown to protect against the toxic effects caused by 6-OHDA on mitochondrial respiration. However, whereas SOD protects against 6-OHDA-induced cellular death, CAT enhances its cytotoxicity. The here reported data suggest that both superoxide anion and hydroperoxyl radical could account for 6-OHDA toxicity. Furthermore, factors reducing the rate of 6-OHDA autoxidation to its p-quinone appear to enhance its cytotoxicity. 相似文献
