Methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) is an environmental hazardous substrate which is mainly present in cigarette smoke, industrial waste, and exhaust gas. Despite many chances to be exposed to MVK, the cellular toxicity of MVK is largely unknown. Neurons are the main component of the brain, which is one the most vital organs to human beings. Nevertheless, the influence of MVK to neurons has not been investigated. Here, we determined whether MVK treatment negatively affects neuronal survival and axonal morphogenesis using primary hippocampal neuronal cultures. We treated hippocampal neurons with 0.1 mu M to 3.0 mu M MVK and observed a concentration-dependent increase of neuronal death rate. We also demonstrated that the treatment with a low concentration of MVK 0.1 mu M or 0.3 mu M inhibited axonal branching specifically without affecting axon outgrowth. Our results suggest that MVK is highly toxic to neurons.
