Microglial activation and inflammatory processes have been implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of neurodegenerative disorders. Recently, peroxynitrite (ONOO-), the reaction product of superoxide (O-center dot(2)-) and nitric oxide (NO) both of which can be generated by activated microglia, has been demonstrated to act as a major mediator in the neurotoxicity induced by activated microglia. On the other hand, phospholipids such as phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidy1choline (PC) have been reported to modulate the immune function of phagocytes. We therefore evaluated the effects of liposomes which comprise both PS and PC (PS/PC liposomes) or PC only (PC liposomes) regarding the production of both center dot O-2(-) and NO by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/phorbol 12-myristate- 13-acetate (PMA)-activated microglia using electron spin resonance (ESR) spin trap technique with a DEPMPO and Griess reaction, respectively. Pretreatment with PS/PC liposomes or PC liposomes considerably inhibited the signal intensity of O-center dot(2)- adduct associated with LPS/PMA-activated rnicroglia in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, pretreatment with PS/PC liposomes also significantly reduced LPS/PMA-induced microglial NO production. In contrast, pretreatment with PC liposomes had no effect on the NO production. These results indicate that PS/PC liposomes can inhibit the microglial production of both NO and center dot O-2(-), and thus presumably prevent a subsequent formation of ONOO-. Therefore, PS/PC liposomes appear to have both neuroprotective and anti-oxidative properties through the inhibition of micro-lial activation. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
