Abstract
Tetrahydropapaveroline (THP), a metabolite of dopamine, has been suspected to be associated with dopaminergic neurotoxicity of L-DOPA. THP induced apoptosis in human leukemia cell line HL-60 cells, but did not in its hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-resistant clone HP100. THP-induced DNA ladder formation in HL-60 cells was inhibited by a metal chelator. THP induced damage to 32P-labeled DNA fragments in the presence of metals. In the presence of Fe(III)EDTA, THP caused DNA damage at every nucleotide. The DNA damage was inhibited by free hydroxy radical (·OH) scavengers and catalase, suggesting that the Fe(III)EDTA-mediated DNA damage is mainly due to ·OH generation. In the presence of Cu(II), THP caused DNA damage mainly at T and G of 5′-TG-3′ sequence. The inhibitive effect of catalase and bathocuproine on Cu(II)-mediated DNA damage suggested that H2O2 and Cu(I) participate in the DNA damage. This study demonstrated that THP-induced apoptosis via reactive oxygen species generated from reaction of H2O2 and metals plays an important role in cytotoxicity of L-DOPA.
