The effect of 3-morpholinosydnonimine (SIN-1) against the cytotoxicity of MG132, a proteasome inhibitor, in differentiated PC12 cells was assessed by measuring the effect on the mitochondrial membrane permeability. Treatment of PC12 cells with MG132 resulted in the nuclear damage, decrease in the mitochondrial transmembrane potential, cytosolic accumulation of cytochrome c, activation of caspase-3, increase in the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and depletion of GSH. Addition of SIN-1, a producer of nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide, differentially reduced the MG132-induced cell death and GSH depletion concentration dependently with a maximal inhibitory effect at 150 mu M. Carboxy-PTIO, superoxide dismutase, Mn-TBAP, and ascorbate prevented the inhibitory effect of SIN-I on the cytotoxicity of MG132. SIN-1 inhibited the MG132-induced change in the mitochondrial membrane permeability, ROS formation and decrease in GSH contents in PC 12 cells. S-nitroso-N-acetyl-DL-penicillamine reduced the MG132-induced cell death in PC 12 cells, whereas peroxynitrite and H2O2 did not affect the cytotoxicity of MG132. The results suggest that NO and superoxide liberated from SIN-1 exert an inhibitory effect against the cytotoxicity of MG132. SIN-1 may inhibit the MG132-induced viability loss in PC12 cells by suppressing change in the mitochondrial membrane permeability that is associated with oxidative damage. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V.
