15987830 Sun F, Anantharam V, Latchoumycandane C, Kanthasamy A, Kanthasamy AG: Dieldrin induces ubiquitin-proteasome dysfunction in alpha-synuclein overexpressing dopaminergic neuronal cells and enhances susceptibility to apoptotic cell death. J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 2005 Oct;315(1):69-79. Epub 2005 Jun 29.

Because recent evidence indicates that abnormal accumulation and aggregation of alpha-synuclein and ubiquitin-proteasome system dysfunction can contribute to the degenerative processes of PD, in the present study we examined whether the environmental pesticide dieldrin impairs proteasomal function and subsequently promotes apoptotic cell death in rat mesencephalic dopaminergic neuronal cells overexpressing human alpha-synuclein.

Here we show that several pesticides, including rotenone, dieldrin and paraquat, induce a conformational change in alpha-synuclein and significantly accelerate the rate of formation of alpha-synuclein fibrils in vitro.

Additionally, dieldrin exposure during development potentiated the increase in GFAP and alpha-synuclein levels induced by MPTP, indicating increased neurotoxicity.

Identification of key genetic defects such as alpha-synuclein and parkin mutations in PD also underscores the important role of genetic factors in the disease.

Alpha-synuclein protein expression was also significantly increased in the striatum (25% increase).
