Effects of estrogens on striatal damage after 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) neurotoxicity in male and female mice.

Abstract:

:Emerging evidence shows a beneficial effect of estrogens for Parkinson's disease, yet the exact potency of these compounds implicated remain obscured. In this study, we investigated the neuroprotective effect of 17beta-estradiol and estrone against 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced striatal toxicity in mice. The neuroprotective effects of both compounds were evaluated by HPLC and Western blot analyses 5 days after the last of 4 consecutive injections of MPTP at 1-h intervals to mice. Subacute treatment (10 days) with estrone or 17beta-estradiol at low doses (0.05 and 0.2mg/kg) showed no significant changes against MPTP-induced damage of striatal dopamine terminals in mice. Furthermore, acute treatment with estrone at high doses (0.5 and 2.0mg/kg) showed no significant alterations against MPTP-induced damage of striatal dopamine terminals in mice. In contrast, acute treatment with 17beta-estradiol at high doses exhibited a neuroprotective effect against the damage of striatal dopamine terminals in both male and female mice after MPTP treatments. The results demonstrate that estrogen therapy with high doses may have a neuroprotective effect on the damage of striatal dopamine terminals in the MPTP-induced mice. These findings may lead to be development of estrogen therapy for the prevention and treatment of Parkinson's disease.
