| Abstract | The exact molecular mechanism of progressive loss of neuromelanin containing nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson's disease (PD) remains unknown, yet evidence suggests that iron might play an important role in PD pathology. In this study we have determined the neuroprotective role of coenzyme Q$_{10}$ (CoQ$_{10}$) in iron-induced apoptosis in cultured human dopaminergic (SK-N-SH) neurons, in metallothionein gene-manipulated mice, and in α-synuclein knockout (α-synko) mice with a primary objective to assess a possible therapeutic and anti-inflammatory potential for CoQ$_{10}$ in PD. Iron-induced mitochondrial damage and apoptosis were characterized by reactive oxygen species production, increased metallothionein and glutathione synthesis, caspase-3 activation, NF-κB induction, and decreased Bcl-2 expression, without any significant change in Bax expression. Lower concentrations of FeSO$_{4}$ (1–10 μM) induced perinuclear aggregation of mitochondria, whereas higher concentrations (100–250 μM) induced CoQ$_{10}$ depletion, plasma membrane perforations, mitochondrial damage, and nuclear DNA condensation and fragmentation. FeSO$_{4}$-induced deleterious changes were attenuated by pretreatment with CoQ$_{10}$ and by deferoxamine, a potent iron chelator, in SK-N-SH cells. 1-Methyl, 4-phenyl, 1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced striatal release of free iron, and NF-κB expression were significantly increased; whereas ferritin and melanin synthesis were significnatly reduced in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SN pc) of MT$_{dko}$ mice as compared with control$_{wt}$ mice, MT$_{trans}$ mice, and α-synko mice. CoQ$_{10}$ treatment inhibited MPTP-induced NF-κB induction in all of the genotypes. These data suggest that glutathione and metallothionein synthesis might be induced as an attempt to combat iron-induced oxidative stress, whereas exogenous administration of CoQ$_{10}$ or of metallothionein induction might provide CoQ$_{10}$-mediated neuroprotection in PD. |

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.
