All‐trans retinoic acid inhibits cobalt chloride‐induced apoptosis in PC12 cells: Role of the dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase/asymmetric dimethylarginine pathway

Abstract: Previous studies have shown that the endogenous nitric oxide synthase inhibitor asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and its specific hydrolase dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH) are involved in the regulation of apoptosis in different cell types. In the present study, we investigated the role of the DDAH/ADMA pathway in cobalt chloride (CoCl(2))-induced apoptosis and the antiapoptotic effect of all-trans retinoic acid (atRA) in undifferentiated pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells. Treatment of CoCl(2) (12… Show more

“…The recent study has indicated that the activity of DDAH and the expression of DDAH2 (mRNA and protein) was significantly decreased in cobalt chloride (CoCl 2 )-induced apoptosis. In contrast, DDAH2 overexpression inhibited the proapoptotic effects of CoCl2 [47]. CoCl 2 significantly increased the level of endogenous nitric oxide synthase inhibitor asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), which markedly increased intracellular ROS production and promoted inflammatory responses, resulting in caspase-3-dependent apoptosis.…”

“…In the present study, we investigated the effects of Hcy on endogenous H 2 S production in neuronal cells and the underlying mechanism by studying PC12 cells, a clonal rat pheochromocytoma cell line that is widely used for studying the cellular biology of neurons (Duan et al 2009;Li et al 1998;Wang et al 2009). We demonstrated for the first time that Hcy significantly inhibits endogenous H 2 S synthesis in PC12 cells through suppressing the expression and activity of CBS, the major enzyme responsible for endogenous H 2 S generation in PC12 cells (Tang et al 2010a), and stimulating the activation of ERK1/ 2 and that the inhibitory effect of Hcy on endogenous H 2 S synthesis contributes to its neurotoxicity.…”

“…The levels of another type of antioxidant, cytoplasmic biliverdin reductase A (BLVRA), showed a 91% increase at the 6 h treatment time-point. DDAH2, involved in the nitric oxide (NO) pathway as well as in apoptosis regulation (Wang et al, 2009), was increased by 40% at 48 h in IL-18 treated cells vs. untreated controls. IL-18 showed a concentration dependent DDAH2 increase at 72 h (Figure 3A).…”
