| Abstract | Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), an endogenous nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor, is profoundly protective against 1-methy-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP$^{+}$)-induced neurotoxicity. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction contributes to the neurotoxicity of MPP$^{+}$; while hydrogen sulfide (H$_{2}$S) is a pivotal endogenous antioxidant. This study is to assess the potential role of endogenous H$_{2}$S in the neuroprotection of ADMA against MPP$^{+}$-induced toxicity in PC12 cells. We showed that ADMA prevented MPP$^{+}$-induced inhibition of endogenous H$_{2}$S generation through inhibiting the down-regulation of cystathionine-β-synthetase (CBS, the major enzyme responsible for endogenous H$_{2}$S generation in PC12 cells) expression and activity elicited by MPP$^{+}$. ADMA obviously attenuated MPP$^{+}$-triggered accumulation of intracellular ROS, dissipation of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), release of cytochrome c (Cyt-c), and downregulation of Bcl-2 protein expression in PC12 cells. Inhibition of CBS activity by amino-oxyacetate and CBS silencing with a short hairpin RNA vector targeting rat CBS gene reversed the protective action of ADMA against MPP$^{+}$-caused cytotoxicity, ROS overproduction, and MMP loss in PC12 cells. These results indicate that the protection of ADMA against MPP$^{+}$-mediated neurotoxicity involves the melioration of MPP$^{+}$-induced inhibition of endogenous H$_{2}$S generation. Our findings suggest that modulation of H$_{2}$S production provide new therapeutic targets for the treatment of neurodegenerative disease, such as Parkinson’s disease. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
