We tested the hypothesis that both VMAT-2 and DT-diaphorase are an important cellular defense against aminochrome-dependent neurotoxicity during dopamine oxidation. A cell line with VMAT-2 and DT-diaphorase over-expressed ...

Aminochrome has been reported to induce lysosomal dysfunction by inhibiting the vacuolar H-type ATPase localized inlysosome membrane. DT-diaphorase has been proposed to prevent aminochrome neurotoxicity but it is unknown ...

© 2017, Springer Science+Business Media New York. Dopamine oxidation in the pathway leading to neuromelanin formation generates the ortho-quinone aminochrome, which is potentially neurotoxic but normally rapidly converted ...

DT-Diaphorase has been proposed to play a neuroprotective role in dopaminergic neurons by preventing aminochrome neurotoxicity. There are several studies supporting this idea, but in all studies, we used dicoumarol, an ...

Intracerebral manganese administration together with the DT-diaphorase inhibitor dicoumarol (Mn3+ 40 nmol+-dicoumarol 2 nmol; in 4 μl) into the left medial forebrain bundle (MFB) produced a behavioural pattern characterised ...

Dopamine oxidation in the pathway leading to neuromelanin formation generates the ortho-quinone aminochrome, which is potentially neurotoxic but normally rapidly converted by DT-diaphorase to nontoxic leukoaminochrome. ...

Astrocytes are exposed to aminochrome via the oxidation of dopamine that is taken up from the synaptic cleft after its release from dopaminergic neurons. Glutathione transferase M2-2 (GSTM2) has been shown to protect ...

Alpha-synuclein (SNCA) oligomers have been reported to inhibit autophagy. Aminochrome-induced SNCA oligomers are neurotoxic, but the flavoenzyme DT-diaphorase prevents both their formation and their neurotoxicity. However, ...
