タイトル Amyloid beta-peptide-induced inhibition of MTT reduction in PC12h and C1300 neuroblastoma cells: effect of nitroprusside.
ジャーナル Peptides
Abstract We have investigated the effect of amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta) in rat pheochromocytoma PC 12h and murine C 1300 neuroblastoma cells by using MTT ¿3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) reduction assay. Exposure of the cells to Abeta peptides, Abeta1-40 and its fragment Abeta25-35, induced a concentration-dependent inhibition of MTT reduction in both cell lines, and MTT-dependent LDH release due to cell lysis in PC12h cells. We also found that sodium nitroprusside (SNP), a spontaneous nitric oxide (NO) generator, significantly prevented the inhibition of MTT reduction and MTT-dependent LDH release caused by Abeta peptides at 10-100 microM, although a high concentration of SNP (> or = 333 microM) was remarkably toxic by itself. Since the inhibition of MTT reduction caused by Abeta is known as one of the first indicators of its toxicity, these findings suggest that Abeta peptides have a toxic effect in these cell lines, and SNP may attenuate the Abeta peptide-induced toxicity. In regard the mechanisms of the actions of SNP, hydroxylamine which also generates NO and 8-Br-cGMP, a membrane-permeable analogue of cyclic GMP (cGMP), failed to prevent the inhibition of MTT reduction caused by Abeta25-35 in PC12h cells, implying that the effect of SNP may be mediated by the NO-independent pathway. Since potassium ferrocyanide showed a significant prevention at 333 microM although it had toxic effect at this concentration, it is considered that the ferrocyanide portion of the SNP metabolite may be partially involved. The cell death induced by other oxidative insults, such as glutamate and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), could not be attenuated by SNP in both cell lines. Thus, the observed effect of SNP might not be due to its direct antioxidative action.
