The widely used organophosphorus compound tri-o-cresyl phosphate (TOCP) elicits delayed neurotoxicity characterized by progressive axonal degeneration in the spinal cord and peripheral nerves. However, the precise mechanisms of TOCP-induced delayed neurotoxicity are not clear. Because autophagy has been linked to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, we aimed to characterize autophagy in the progression of TOCP-induced delayed neurotoxicity. In vivo experiments using the adult hen animal model showed that autophagy in spinal cord axons and in sciatic nerves was markedly induced at the early preclinical stage of TOCP-induced delayed neurotoxicity; it was decreased as the delayed neurotoxicity progressed to the overt neuropathy stage. In cultured human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, TOCP reduced cell growth, and induced prominent autophagy. The autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine could attenuate TOCP-induced cytotoxicity, indicating that the autophagy is accountable for TOCP-induced neurotoxicity. In addition, we found that TOCP-induced Parkin translocation to mitochondria in SH-SY5Y cells, suggesting that autophagy may function to degrade mitochondria after TOCP exposure. These results suggest that autophagy may play an important role in the initiation and progression of axonal damage during TOCP-induced neurotoxicity.
