MPTP toxicity in rat striatal slices: dopamine uptake alteration does not appear to be related to lipid peroxidation

1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), which is used to create experimental models of parkinsonism, induces both dopaminergic neurotoxicity and peroxidation reactions. The present work investigated the interaction between the dopamine (DA) uptake system, lipid peroxidation and MPTP in...

Description
Summary:1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), which is used to create experimental models of parkinsonism, induces both dopaminergic neurotoxicity and peroxidation reactions. The present work investigated the interaction between the dopamine (DA) uptake system, lipid peroxidation and MPTP in a rat striatum slice model. [ 3H]DA uptake was decreased and the concentration of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) increased after a plain preincubation in Krebs—Ringer bicarbonate buffer for 150 min. The decrease in [ 3H]DA uptake and the increase in TBARS were suppressed by the iron-chelating agent desferrioxamine. Inhibition of [ 3H]DA uptake was intensified, [ 3H]GBR 12 935 binding to DA uptake sites was decreased and TBARS production was inhibited in slices after preincubation with MPTP. MPTP effects were inhibited by l-deprenyl, a MAO-B inhibitor. These results suggest that the spontaneous decrease in DA uptake during simple preincubation in pure Krebs—Ringer solution was related to spontaneous TBARS generation. During MPTP preincubation, alteration of the DA uptake mechanism was not due to additional lipid peroxidation since TBARS production was decreased. MPTP effects could have resulted from other events which are discussed.
