Exposure of cerebellar granule cells to 1-methyl-4-phenylpiridinium (MPP(+)) results in cell death. We have studied the implication of various membrane transporter systems on MPP(+) neurotoxicity, including the dopamine transporter system (DAT) and cationic amino acid transporters (CAT). We have showed a partial protection against MPP(+) toxicity when the dopamine transporter is inhibited by 1-[2-[bis(4-fluorophenyl)methoxy]ethyl]4-(3-phenylpropyl)piperazinedihydrochloride (GBR-12909). However, almost full protection is only achieved by the simultaneous addition of GBR-12909 and cationic amino acids. These results suggest two ways system of MPP(+) entrance into cerebellar granule cells: the DAT with high activity and the CAT with low activity. We also demonstrated that 5,7-dichlorokynurenic acid (MK-801) failed to protect against MPP(+) exposure, evidencing that N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor is not involved in the MPP(+)-induced cell death.
小脑颗粒细胞暴露于1-甲基-4-苯基吡啶离子(MPP(+))会导致细胞死亡。我们研究了各种膜转运系统对MPP(+)神经毒性的影响,包括多巴胺转运体系统(DAT)和阳离子氨基酸转运体(CAT)。当多巴胺转运体被1-[2-[双(4-氟苯基)甲氧基]乙基]-4-(3-苯基丙基)哌嗪二盐酸盐(GBR-12909)抑制时,我们已表明对MPP(+)毒性有部分保护作用。然而,只有同时添加GBR-12909和阳离子氨基酸才能实现几乎完全的保护。这些结果表明MPP(+)进入小脑颗粒细胞有两种途径系统:高活性的DAT和低活性的CAT。我们还证明5,7-二氯犬尿氨酸(MK-801)不能保护细胞免受MPP(+)暴露的影响,这表明N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸(NMDA)受体不参与MPP(+)诱导的细胞死亡。
