Parkinson's disease is characterized by dopamine dyshomeostasis and oxidative stress. The aldehyde metabolite of dopamine, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde (DOPAL), has been reported to be cytotoxic and capable of protein modification. Protein modification by DOPAL has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease, but the complete pathology is unknown. Our findings show that DOPAL modifies glutathione S-transferase (GST), an important enzyme in the antioxidant defense system. DOPAL, dopamine, and the metabolite 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), inhibited the activity of GST isolated from N27 dopaminergic cells at an IC50 of 31.46 μM, 82.32 μM, and 260.0 μM, respectively. DOPAL, dopamine, and DOPAC inhibited commercially available equine liver GST at an IC50 of 23.72 μM, 32.17 μM, and 73.70 μM, respectively. This inhibition was time dependent and irreversible. 1 mM ʟ-cysteine or glutathione fully protected GST activity from DOPAL, DA, and DOPAC inhibition. 1 mM carnosine partially protected GST activity from DA inhibition. Furthermore, ʟ-cysteine was found to protect GST by forming a putative thiazolidine conjugate with DOPAL. We conclude that GST inactivation may be a part of the broader etiopathology of Parkinson's disease.

D004298 Dopamine One of the catecholamine NEUROTRANSMITTERS in the brain. It is derived from TYROSINE and is the precursor to NOREPINEPHRINE and EPINEPHRINE. Dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement. A family of receptors (RECEPTORS, DOPAMINE) mediate its action.
