Endogenous semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) inhibitor increases 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP+)-induced dopamine efflux by immobilization stress in rat striatum.

摘要

The present study examined whether or not immobilization stress (IMMO)-inducible semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) inhibitor by separated gel filtration from 105,000 g supernate in rat brain cytosol contribute to the dopamine (DA) efflux by 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP(+)) in the rat striatum. The isoelectric point (pI) value of this inhibitor was determined by isoelectric focusing (IEF)-gel electrophoresis to about 3.8. The application of IMMO-induced SSAO inhibitor (3 microg) by IEF-gel electrophoresis increased DA efflux by MPP(+) in rat striatum. These results suggest that IMMO-inducible endogenous SSAO inhibitor enhances DA efflux by MPP(+).
