摘要: In recent years a catechol-thioether metabolite of dopamine, 5-S-cysteinyl-dopamine, has been identified in certain dopaminergic regions the brain, notably Substantia Nigra. 5-S-Cysteinyl-dopamine received great attention view its possible significance as an index oxidative stress aging and neurodegenerative processes, particularly Parkinson's disease. present study effect 5-S-cysteinyl-dopamine on human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells is investigated. The substance highly cytotoxic, even at concentration low 30 microM. Treatment with induce following intracellular responses: decrease mitochondrial transmembrane potential, increase reactive oxygen species such superoxide anion peroxides, marked reduced glutathione inhibition complex I activity. Caspase-3-like protease activation oligonucleosomal DNA fragmentation have also observed. These data are indicative onset apoptotic processes due to 5-S-cysteinyl-dopamine.
