Caspase-1 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors may protect against peroxynitrite-induced neurotoxicity independent of their enzyme inhibitor activity

Abstract

We investigated the mechanism of 3-morpholinosyndnomine (SIN-1) neurotoxicity in nearly pure neuronal cultures. In a simple saline solution, SIN-1 neurotoxicity was found to be mediated by peroxynitrite and independent of glutamate receptor activation [Y. Zhang & P.A. Rosenberg (2002) Eur. J. Neurosci, 16, 1015-1024]. To further study the mechanism of peroxynitrite toxicity to neurons we investigated the role of caspases and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) in this model system. Ac-Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp-chloromethyl ketone (Ac-YVAD-cmk), a specific caspase-1 inhibitor, completely blocked neurotoxicity as well as ATP depletion induced by SIN-1. However, a caspase-3 inhibitor and a pan-caspase inhibitor were both without effect. These results suggested that the protection of Ac-YVAD-cmk might not be due to its inhibition of caspase-1. Indeed, Western blot analysis and assay of caspase activity indicated that caspase activation was not involved in SIN-1 toxicity. Ac-YVAD-cmk also completely blocked in vitro protein nitration induced by SIN-1 or peroxynitrite, suggesting that Ac-YVAD-cmk may interact with peroxynitrite directly. Similarly, although activation of PARP is thought to be a major cause of peroxynitrite-induced ATP depletio...Continue Reading
