Abstract:
:Environmental exposure to the highly persistent chlorinated pesticides including dieldrin and lindane is postulated to be a risk factor to the development of Parkinson's disease, a devastating movement disorder. We have previously reported that the combined treatment with dieldrin and lindane induces a cooperative toxicity in the rat N27 dopaminergic neuronal cells through increased oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. In this study, we investigated the involvement of NADPH oxidase (NOX) proteins in the combined treatment with dieldrin and lindane-induced dopaminergic neurotoxicity. Immunoblot analysis demonstrated the presence of NADPH Oxidase 1 (Nox1) isoform and p67phox in N27 neurons. Furthermore, treatment with dieldrin and lindane upregulated the cellular expression of Nox1 but not p67phox protein. Functionally, dieldrin and lindane-induced ROS production was attenuated, in a dose-dependent manner, by Nox inhibitors diphenylene iodonium and apocynin. Subcellular localization analysis of Nox1 and p67phox proteins indicated colocalization of both subunits with mitochondria in untreated cells. Treatment with dieldrin and lindane further increased mitochondrial colocalization of Nox1 protein, suggesting a potentially prominent role for mitochondrial Nox1 protein in dieldrin and lindane-induced ROS generation in dopaminergic neurons and its contribution to the combined organochlorinated pesticide-induced neurotoxicity.
