18945348 Kanthasamy AG, Kitazawa M, Yang Y, Anantharam V, Kanthasamy A: Environmental neurotoxin dieldrin induces apoptosis via caspase-3-dependent proteolytic activation of protein kinase C delta (PKCdelta): Implications for neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease. Mol Brain. 2008 Oct 22;1(1):12.

The cytosolic cytochrome c activated caspase-dependent apoptotic pathway and the increased caspase-3 activity was observed following a 3 hr dieldrin exposure in a dose-dependent manner.

The dieldrin-induced proteolytic cleavage of PKCdelta and induction of kinase activity are completely inhibited by pretreatment with 50-100 microM concentrations of the caspase inhibitors benzyloxycarbonyl-Val-Ala-Asp-fluoromethylketone (Z-VAD-FMK) and benzyloxycarbonyl-Asp-Glu-Val-Asp-fluoromethylketone (Z-DEVD-FMK), indicating that the proteolytic activation of PKCdelta is caspase-3-dependent.

Cell Death Differ. 1999 Feb;6(2):190-200.

The effects of the liver tumor promoters phenobarbital, clofibrate, dieldrin, and DDT on transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGFbeta)-induced apoptosis were studied in FTO-2B hepatoma cells.

11181820 Chun HS, Gibson GE, DeGiorgio LA, Zhang H, Kidd VJ, Son JH: Dopaminergic cell death induced by MPP (+), oxidant and specific neurotoxicants shares the common molecular mechanism. J Neurochem. 2001 Feb;76(4):1010-21.

Epidemiological risk factor analyses of typical PD cases have identified several neurotoxicants, including MPP (+) (the active metabolite of MPTP), paraquat, dieldrin, manganese and salsolinol.
Pharmacological intervention using the combination of the antioxidant Trolox and a pan-caspase inhibitor Boc-(Asp)-fmk (BAF) exerted significant neuroprotection against ROS-induced dopaminergic cell death.
