| Abstract | The inhibitory effects of liriodenine, an aporphine isoquinoline alkaloid, on dopamine biosynthesis and L-DOPA-induced dopamine content increases in PC12 cells were investigated. Treatment of PC12 cells with 5–10 μM liriodenine significantly decreased the intracellular dopamine content in a concentration-dependent manner (IC50 value, 8.4 μM). Liriodenine was not cytotoxic toward PC12 cells at concentrations up to 20 μM. Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) activities were inhibited by 10 μM liriodenine to 20–70% and 10–14% of control levels at 3–12 h, respectively; TH activity was more influenced than AADC activity. The levels of TH mRNA, intracellular cyclic AMP and basal Ca2+concentration were also decreased by 10 μM liriodenine. In addition, 10 μM liriodenine reduced L-DOPA (20–100 μM)-induced increases in dopamine content. However, 10 μM liriodenine resulted in a protective effect against L-DOPA (50–-100 μM)-induced cytotoxicity. These results suggest that liriodenine regulates dopamine biosynthesis by partially reducing TH activity and TH gene expression and has protective effects against L-DOPA-induced cytotoxicity in PC 12 cells. |
