Excitotoxicity is required for induction of oxidative stress and apoptosis in mouse striatum by the mitochondrial toxin, 3-nitropropionic acid.
    Journal of cerebral blood flow and metabolism : official journal of the International Society of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism, 2000, Volume: 20, Issue:1

    Excitotoxicity is implicated in the pathogenesis of several neurologic diseases, such as chronic neurodegenerative diseases and stroke. Recently, it was reported that excitotoxicity has a relationship to apoptotic neuronal death, and that the mitochondrial toxin, 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NP), could induce apoptosis in the striatum. Although striatal lesions produced by 3-NP could develop through an excitotoxic mechanism, the exact relationship between apoptosis induction and excitotoxicity after 3-NP treatment is still not clear. The authors investigated the role of excitotoxicity and oxidative stress on apoptosis induction within the striatum after intraperitoneal injection of 3-NP. The authors demonstrated that removal of the corticostriatal glutamate pathway reduced superoxide production and apoptosis induction in the denervated striatum of decorticated mice after 3-NP treatment. Also, the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, MK-801, prevented apoptosis in the striatum after 3-NP treatment for 5 days, whereas the non-NMDA receptor antagonist, 2,3-dihydroxy-6-nitro-7-sulphamoyl-benzo(F)quinoxaline, was ineffective. The authors also evaluated the initial type of neuronal death by 3-NP treatment for different durations from 1 to 5 days. In early striatal damage, apoptotic neuronal death initially occurred after 3-NP treatment. Our data show that excitotoxicity related to oxidative stress initially induces apoptotic neuronal death in mouse striatum after treatment with 3-NP.

Neuronal death enhanced by N-methyl-D-aspartate antagonists.
    Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2000, Nov-07, Volume: 97, Issue:23

    Glutamate promotes neuronal survival during brain development and destroys neurons after injuries in the mature brain. Glutamate antagonists are in human clinical trials aiming to demonstrate limitation of neuronal injury after head trauma, which consists of both rapid and slowly progressing neurodegeneration. Furthermore, glutamate antagonists are considered for neuroprotection in chronic neurodegenerative disorders with slowly progressing cell death only. Therefore, humans suffering from Huntington's disease, characterized by slowly progressing neurodegeneration of the basal ganglia, are subjected to trials with glutamate antagonists. Here we demonstrate that progressive neurodegeneration in the basal ganglia induced by the mitochondrial toxin 3-nitropropionate or in the hippocampus by traumatic brain injury is enhanced by N-methyl-d-aspartate antagonists but ameliorated by alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionate antagonists. These observations reveal that N-methyl-d-aspartate antagonists may increase neurodestruction in mature brain undergoing slowly progressing neurodegeneration, whereas blockade of the action of glutamate at alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionate receptors may be neuroprotective.

AMPA/kainate-related mechanisms contribute to convulsant and proconvulsant effects of 3-nitropropionic acid.
    European journal of pharmacology, 1999, Apr-16, Volume: 370, Issue:3

    The role of the glutamatergic system in the convulsant and proconvulsant action of a mitochondrial toxin, 3-nitropropionic acid, was studied in mice. The occurrence of 3-nitropropionic acid-induced seizures was inhibited by the alpha-amino-2,3-dihydro-5-methyl-3-oxo-isoxazole-propionate (AMPA)/kainate receptor antagonists, 6-nitro-7-sulphamoylbenzo[f]quinoxaline-2,3-dione disodium (NBQX) and 1-(4-aminophenyl)-4-methyl-7,8-methylenedioxy-5H-2,3-benzodiazepine HCI (GYKI 52466), with ED50 of 14.1 (7.9-25.2) and 7.2 (5.3-9.6) mg/kg, respectively. The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists, dizocilpine (MK-801) and 3-(2-carboxypiperazine-4-yl)propenyl-1-phosphonic acid (CPPene), were ineffective. Moreover, 3-nitropropionic acid given in a subthreshold dose potently enhanced seizures generated by intracerebroventricular administration of AMPA and kainate, lowering their CD50 from 0.98 (0.83-1.17) and 0.73 (0.64-0.83) to 0.55 (0.45-0.66) (P<0.001) and 0.58 (0.51-0.65) (P<0.05) nmol, respectively. In contrast, NMDA action was not changed by 3-nitropropionic acid application. We conclude that AMPA/kainate-mediated events are involved in proconvulsive and convulsive effects of 3-nitropropionic acid.

3-Nitropropionic acid exacerbates [3H]GABA release evoked by glucose deprivation in rat striatal slices.
    The Journal of pharmacy and pharmacology, 1996, Volume: 48, Issue:1

    3-Nitropropionic acid (3-NPA) is a metabolic poison that produces lesions of striatal intrinsic neurones such as gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) neurones. This study was carried out to determine whether 3-NPA would impair the ability of striatal GABAergic neurones to withstand hypoglycaemic stress. 3-NPA (500 microM) did not affect [3H]GABA release from striatal slices under normal (11 mM) glucose concentrations. When the glucose concentration was lowered to 0.3 mM, however, 3-NPA greatly potentiated the leakage of [3H]GABA from the slices. Blockage of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) or alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors with 1 microM 5-methyl-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5,10-imine (MK-801) or 10 microM 2,3-dihydroxy-6-nitro-7-sulpha-moylbenzo[F]quinoxaline (NBQX), respectively, or a combination of both, had no effect. However, blockade of voltage-dependent sodium channels with tetrodotoxin totally antagonized the [3H]GABA overflow induced by the combination of 3-NPA and hypoglycaemis. Riluzole (10 to 100 microM), a neuroprotective agent that stabilizes the inactivated state of the voltage-dependent sodium channel, also dose-dependently antagonized the increase in [3H]GABA release induced by the combination of the two stresses.
