Abstract
Our laboratories have shown the positive effect of estradiol on 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine- and methamphetamine (MA)-induced striatal dopamine (DA) depletion. Most studies on E neuroprotection use chronic administration of the steroid to evaluate its beneficial effect. In the present report, we investigated the neuroprotective potential of 17 beta-estradiol-3-benzoate (E) under acute conditions when administered 24, 12 or 0.5 h before MA. The effects of E on striatal DA and dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) contents, and DA transporter (DAT) protein and mRNA were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography, autoradiography and in situ hybridization, respectively. We observed neuroprotection with an acute dose of E, and also that protection presents a different time course for each dopaminergic marker. DAT mRNA responded more quickly to E than its protein (at 0.5 h vs. 24 h). Also, E treatment 12 h prior to MA resulted in 'normal' (equal to control) DA content, while DAT protein was still decreased as compared to control values. These different responses for each marker may represent different mechanisms of action of E (genomic versus nongenomic). Since most experimental studies use DA content as the...Continue Reading
