Abstract

Salsolinol (SAL), a compound derived from dopamine metabolism, is the most probable neurotoxin involved in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). In this study, we investigated the modification and inactivation of human ceruloplasmin (hCP) induced by SAL. Incubation of hCP with SAL increased the protein aggregation and enzyme inactivation in a dose-dependent manner. Reactive oxygen species scavengers and copper chelators inhibited the SAL-mediated hCP modification and inactivation. The formation of dityrosine was detected in SAL-mediated hCP aggregates. Amino acid analysis post the exposure of hCP to SAL revealed that aspartate, histidine, lysine, threonine and tyrosine residues were particularly sensitive. Since hCP is a major copper transport protein, oxidative damage of hCP by SAL may induce perturbation of the copper transport system, which subsequently leads to deleterious conditions in cells. This study of the mechanism by which ceruloplasmin is modified by salsolinol may provide an explanation for the deterioration of organs under neurodegenerative disorders such as PD.

Keywords

INTRODUCTION

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of the midbrain (1, 2). Salsolinol (1-methyl-6,7-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline; SAL) specifically affects the nigrostriatal dopamine system. Previous studies show that it may participate in the pathogenesis of PD (3-6). In the brain, SAL can be endogenously synthesized from dopamine and acetaldehyde, either by SAL synthase or Pictet-Spengler reaction (7, 8). As the oxidative stress level increases, the lipid peroxidation-induced formation of acetaldehyde can promote the synthesis of SAL in dopaminergic cells (9-12). Increased concentrations of SAL induce the mitochondrial toxicity (13). Subsequently, the increased SAL levels will elevate cellular oxidative stress by releasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) from the damaged mitochondria (14, 15), thus impairing the antioxidant defense mechanisms, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) (16).

Human ceruloplasmin (hCP) is a copper-containing protein found in blood plasma, having ferroxidase activity as well as a possible role in iron metabolism. Oxidation of iron from ferrous to the ferric form occurs in the presence of hCP. In astrocytic foot processes, hCP is linked to glycophospho inositide (17). Mutations in the hCP gene can lead to aceruloplasminemia, a genetic disease characterized by iron overload in the basal ganglia (18). hCP may also play a role in the aggregation of α-synuclein, a component of Lewy bodies; this has previously been confirmed in an in vitro study (19). Decreased hCP ferroxidase activity in cerebrospinal fluid (20-22) and serum (23-29) from idiopathic PD patients has also been reported. In addition, decreased hCP levels are associated with an earlier onset PD (24, 26, 27).

In this study, the effects of SAL on the oxidative modifications of hCP were assessed. Our results demonstrated that SAL could induce hCP aggregation via free radical generation. Subsequently, the SAL-mediated hCP modification resulted in the release of copper from the protein.

 

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

When incubated with SAL, the aggregation of hCP increased with increasing concentrations of SAL, in a dose-dependent manner (Fig. 1A and B). It is well known that all biological macromolecules are vulnerable to oxidative stress. Attack of various ROS on proteins can lead to amino acid modification and peptide bond cleavage. It has been reported that covalent cross-links involve both homologous and heterologous interactions between carbon-centered radical derivatives of identical or non-identical amino acid residues in two separate protein molecules (30). We investigated the protective effect of ROS scavengers on the aggregation of hCP induced by SAL. We found that incubation of hCP with SAL in the presence of ROS scavengers, such as, azide, formate and mannitol, prevented the aggregation of hCP (Fig. 1 C and D).

Fig. 1.Aggregation of hCP by SAL, and effect of ROS scavengers and copper chelators on SAL-mediated hCP aggregation. (A) 1.5 μM hCP was incubated with various concentrations of SAL in 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.4), at 37℃ for 24 h. Reactions were stopped at the indicated time by freezing at −80℃. The pattern of protein bands was analyzed by native PAGE.

(B) and (D) Relative staining intensity of native PAGE gel was analyzed by densitometric scanning. Asterisk (*) and double asterisks (**) denote statistical significance at P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively.

During the incubation of hCP with SAL, ferroxidase activity decreased when the concentration of SAL increased (Fig. 2A and B), indicating that SAL-mediated hCP inactivation is closely associated with protein modification. Oxidative modification of metalloproteins may lead to a higher level of metal ions in cells (31, 32). A previous study has reported that oxidative modification of Cu, Zn-SOD can lead to inactivation and releasing copper from the enzyme (33). Since many proteins contain metal ions, especially trace metals such as copper and iron, subsequent exposure of them to H2O2 can generate ROS that selectively damage amino acid residues at the binding site (34). Another of our finding was that the ROS scavengers were partially able to prevent the inactivation of hCP (Fig. 2C and D).

(A) 1.5 μM hCP was incubated with various concentrations of SAL in 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.4), at 37℃ for 24 h. Reactions were stopped at the indicated time by freezing at −80℃. Activity of hCP was analyzed by activity staining method as described under “Materials and methods”. (C) 1.5 μM hCP was incubated with 2 mM SAL in 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.4), at 37℃ for 24 h, in the presence of ROS scavengers or copper chelators. Lane 1, hCP control; lane 2, oxidized hCP (without ROS scavenger); lane 3, 200 mM azide; lane 4, 200 mM formate; lane 5, 200 mM mannitol; lane 6, 1 mM DDC; lane 7, 1 mM PA. (B) and (D) Relative staining intensity of native PAGE gel was analyzed by densitometric scanning. Double asterisks (**) and triple asterisks (***) denote statistical significance at P < 0.01 and P < 0.001, respectively.

Some aggregation of protein is due to the formation of 2,2’ biphenyl cross-linkage of tyrosine residues (35). We investigated the formation of O,O’-dityrosine during SAL-mediated hCP aggregation by measuring fluorescence emission spectrum at 410 nm, with an excitation at 325 nm. When hCP was treated with various concentrations of SAL, the formation of O,O’-dityrosine cross-links increased with increasing concentrations of SAL (Fig. 3A). Our result suggests that the tyrosine-tyrosine cross-link formation might participate in SAL-mediated hCP aggregation.

The fluorescence spectra of dityrosine formation were observed when 1.5 μM hCP was incubated with various concentrations of SAL in 10 mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4), at 37℃ for 24 h. (A) The fluorescence emission spectrum of the sample was monitored at 410 nm (excitation, 325 nm) using a spectrofluorometer. (B) The free copper ions were determined with a colorimetric reagent using bathocuproine disulfonate. Asterisk (*) and double asterisks (**) denote statistical significance at P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively.

Transition metals, such as iron and copper, are present in a variety of biological systems. When exposed to H2O2, they produce ROS, which damages the biological macromolecules (36-38). We investigated the protective effects of copper chelators, such as DDC and PA, on SAL-mediated hCP aggregation. When hCP was incubated with SAL in the presence of DDC and PA, the modification (Fig. 1C, lane 6 and 7) and inactivation (Fig. 2C, lane 6 and 7) of hCP were inhibited. Incubation of hCP with various concentrations of SAL induced the release of free copper ions from hCP (Fig. 3B). Transition metals can catalyze free radical reactions, such as autoxidations and hydroxyl radical formation. Therefore, hypothesize that the copper ions released from SAL-damaged hCP might have led to the formation of hydroxyl radicals in cells.

It has been reported that stable complexes can be formed by the reaction of catechol compounds with heavy metals such as iron or copper (39). Metal-catechol complexes may produce free radical compounds. Our results suggest that the deactivation of hCP by SAL might be due to the copper released from hCP, or the formation of the SAL-Cu(II) complex. It is true that protein deactivation can be achieved by cross-linking of proteins with the ROS generated from reactions between catechol derivatives and/or heavy metal ions. However, it has also been reported that the deactivation of metallo-enzymes such as ribonucleotide reductase by catechol compounds, can be reversed by the addition of iron (40). Therefore, we hypothesize that Cu(II)-SAL or Cu(II)-SAL2 complex formation is the major mechanism involved in the deactivation of hCP or the release of copper from protein. Our results further suggest that the released copper can accelerate ROS formation, resulting in hCP aggregation.

To determine the target site against SAL on hCP, we analyzed the amino acid composition after acid and alkaline hydrolysis of the modified proteins. hCP exposure to SAL particularly resulted in the loss of aspartate, histidine, lysine, threonine and tyrosine residues (Fig. 4). hCP is comprised of six cupredoxin-type domains (41). Domains 1, 3 and 5 comprise of 190 amino-acid residues. Domains 2, 4 and 6 possess a binding site for a mononuclear T1-type copper center (42). These even domains are smaller, with around 150 residues. The T1 sites in domains 4 and 6 are typical blue-copper sites, with two histidines and a cysteine ligand at around 2.0Å, and a fourth weaker ligand, a methionine, at a distance of around 3.0Å (43). Our results suggest that copper binding sites are modified during the reaction of hCP with SAL; it can be released from the oxidatively-damaged protein thus freeing copper from the ligand. Previous studies have similarly reported that the release of copper can be induced during the reaction of hCP with other oxidants at high concentrations (1-50 mM) (44, 45). Our results similarly revealed that SAL could lead to the modification of hCP and the release of copper ions at low concentrations (0.1-2 mM). Taken together, these results suggest that the SAL-mediated hCP modification may be due to the oxidative damage resulting from ROS generated by two mechanisms: the autoxidation of SAL, and the Fenton-like reaction of free copper ions released from oxidatively-damaged hCP.

Fig. 4.Modification of amino acid residues in hCP by SAL. hCP was incubated in 10 mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4), at 37℃ under following conditions: 1.5 μM hCP alone (gray bar); 1.5 μM hCP plus 2 mM SAL (dark bar). After incubation for 24 h, the amino acid composition of acid and alkaline hydrolysates was determined as described under “Materials and Methods”.

Alterations in iron homeostasis/metabolism can produce neurodegenerative diseases by multiple pathways. Copper released from the copper-binding proteins induced oxidative stress, which is caused to proceed to the degeneration of the substantia nigra in PD (46). The toxicity of SAL may be increased by the generation of ROS in the neurodegenerative disorder. Previous studies have been reported that SAL led to DNA cleavages in neuronal cells in the presence of transition metals (47, 48). It has also reported that SAL might increase ROS generation, and result in a reduction in the levels of glutathione in SH-SY5Y cells (49).

The concentration of SAL in the substantia nigra from normal control brains was determined to be 0.1 μM (50). However, the concentration was found to be much higher in dopamine neuron. It was reported that SAL was selectively increased in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with PD (51). In this study, we have used high concentrations of SAL. Although such values might be physiologically questionable, they demonstrated clear protein modifications when used at high concentrations, provoking protein damage in a relatively short period of time.

In conclusion, the findings of this study demonstrated that SAL could induce oxidative modification of hCP with subsequent copper release. This study also showed that this phenomenon involved free radical generation. Therefore, SAL-mediated hCP modification might be associated with the pathogenesis of PD, as well as other related disorders.

 

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Materials

The commercial hCP (Cabiochem) was further purified by gel filtration chromatography, using Superose 6 FPLC column (Pharmacia, Sweden). Salsolinol, azide, formate, mannitol, bathocuproine disulfonate, diethyldithio carbamic acid (DDC) and penicillamine (PA) were obtained from Sigma (St. Louis, MO, USA). Chelex 100 resin (sodium form) was obtained from Bio-Rad (Hercules, CA, USA). All solutions were treated with Chelex 100 resin to remove any traces of transition metal ions.

Protein oxidative modification

Protein concentrations were determined using the BCA method (52). 1.5 μM hCP modification was induced by incubating with SAL in a phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) at 37℃. After incubation, the reaction mixtures were placed onto Vivaspin ultrafiltration spin column (Sartorius Stedim Biotech, Goettingen, German) and centrifuged for 1 h at 13,000 rpm to remove the SAL. The mixture was then washed with Chelex 100-treated water and centrifuged for 1 h at the same speed to remove any residual SAL. This procedure was repeated four times, after which the (washed) proteins were dried in a freeze-dryer and dissolved with 10 mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). The free radical scavenger-induced protection against the SAL-mediated hCP modification was performed by preincubating the enzyme with free radical scavengers for 5 min at room temperature, after which the mixture was reacted with SAL for 24 h at 37℃. The unreacted reagent was then washed through a Microcon filter (Amicon).

Analysis of CP aggregation

The samples were treated with 4 μl of concentrated sample buffer (0.25 M Tris, 40% glycerol, 0.01% bromophenolblue), and then subjected to polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis via the Laemmli method (53), using an 8% acrylamide slab gel. The gels were stained with 0.15% Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250.

Ceruloplasmin activity staining

hCP activity staining was performed by the method of Sato and Gitlin (54). 1.5 μM hCP was incubated with various concentrations of SAL in 10 mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4), at 37℃ for 24 h. An aliquot of sample was subjected to native PAGE with a slab gel (stacking gel: 4% acrylamide; separating gel: 8% acrylamide). The gel was incubated in 0.1 M sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.7) containing 500 μg/ml of p-phenylenedi amine, for 1 h at 37℃ followed by washing in 50% ethanol.

Detection of O,O’-dityrosine

To detect O,O’-dityrosine, 1.5 μM hCP was incubated with various concentrations of SAL, in 10 mM potassium phosphate (pH 7.4). The fluorescence emission spectrum of the sample was then monitored at 410 nm (excitation, 325 nm) using Spectrofluorometer SMF 25 (Bio-Tek Instruments).

Determination of copper ion concentration

The concentration of copper ions released from oxidatively damaged hCP was determined by using the bathocuproine disulfonate method, as described previously (55). The reaction mixture contained 1.5 μM hCP and various concentrations of SAL, in a total volume of 100 μl, and incubated for 24 h at 37℃. After incubation, the mixtures were placed into Vivaspin ultrafiltration spin columns (Sartorius Stedim Biotech, Goettingen, German) and centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 1 h. Colorimetric reagent was added into the filtrate and analyzed by a UV/VIS spectrophotometer (Shimadzu, UV-1601) at 535 nm. The color reagent was composed of 1% ascorbate, 0.02% bathocuproine disulfonate and 1% acetic acid-acetate buffer (pH 4.5)

Amino acid analysis

Aliquots of modified and native hCP were hydrolyzed at 110℃ for 24 h, after addition of 6 N HCl. Since amino acid hydrolysis destroys tryptophan, the tryptophan content of oxidized and native hCP preparations was determined by means of alkaline hydrolysis, as described previously (56). The amino acid content of acid and alkaline hydrolysates was determined by HPLC separation of their phenylisothiocyanate-derivatives, using the Waters Nova-Pak C18 column and HP 1100 detector (Hewlett Packard, USA).

Statistical analysis

Values are expressed as the means ± S.D of three to five separate experiments. The statistical differences between the means were determined by the Student t-test.
