Recently, the neurotoxicity of dopamine (DA) quinone formation by auto-oxidation of DA has focused on dopaminergic neuron-specific oxidative stress. In the present study, we examined DA quinone formation in methamphetamine (METH)-induced dopaminergic neuronal cell death using METH-treated dopaminergic cultured CATH. a cells and METH-injected mouse brain. In CATH. a cells, METH treatment dose-dependently increased the levels of quinoprotein (protein-bound quinone) and the expression of quinone reductase in parallel with neurotoxicity. A similar increase in quinoprotein levels was seen in the striatum of METH (4 mg/kg X4, i.p., 2 h interval)-injected BALB/c mice, coinciding with reduction of DA transporters. Furthermore, pretreatment of CATH. a cells with quinone reductase inducer, butylated hydroxyanisole, significantly and dose-dependently blocked METH-induced elevation of quinoprotein, and ameliorated METH-induced cell death. We also showed the protective effect of tyrosinase, which rapidly oxidizes DA and DA quinone to form stable melanin, against METH-induced dopaminergic neurotoxicity in vitro and in vivo using tyrosinase null mice. Our results indicate that DA quinone formation plays an important role, as a dopaminergic neuron-specific neurotoxic factor, in METH-induced neurotoxicity, which is regulated by quinone formation-related molecules.
