Failure of caspase inhibition in the double-lesion rat model of striatonigral degeneration (multiple system atrophy).

Abstract:

:In the present study we assessed the neuroprotective effects of the pan-caspase inhibitor z-VAD.fmk [N-benzyloxycarbony-valine-alanine-aspartate-(OMe)-fluoromethylketone], and the caspase-3 inhibitor Ac-DEVD.CHO (acetyl-aspartate-chloromethylketone) in the double-lesion rat model of striatonigral degeneration (SND), the core pathology underlying levodopa-unresponsive parkinsonism associated with multiple system atrophy (MSA). Male Wistar rats were divided into three groups, receiving either Ac-DEVD.CHO, z-VAD.fmk or normal saline before lesion surgery, comprising a sequential unilateral quinolinic acid (QA) lesion of the striatum followed by a 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesion of the ipsilateral medial forebrain bundle. At 2 weeks post lesion, all rats underwent testing of spontaneous nocturnal locomotor behavior in an automated Photobeam Activity System (FlexField). Immunohistochemistry was performed with tyrosine hydroxylase, dopamine and cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate-regulated phosphoprotein and glial fibrillary acidic protein antibodies. Morphometry was performed using computerized image analysis. Behavioral and morphological analysis failed to show striatal or nigral protection in caspase inhibitor-treated animals. Our findings suggest that anti-apoptotic strategies are unrewarding in the SND rat model and, therefore, alternative neuroprotective interventions such as anti-glutamatergic agents or inhibitors of microglial activation should be explored instead.
