Recent studies have shown that chiral pesticides could enantioselectively induce cytotoxicity and genotoxicity. However, investigations on molecular mechanisms of enantioselective toxicity of pesticides are limited. In this study, the role of oxidative stress in enantiomer-specific, profenofos (PFF)-induced cytotoxicity and genotoxicity was investigated using PC12 cells. The results demonstrated that PFF enantioselectively reduced cell viability and induced DNA damage in PC12 cells. A concentration- and time-dependent significant induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde and gene expression encoding antioxidant enzyme (Cu-ZnSOD, GST and CAT) and stress protein (HSP 70 and HSP 90) was observed in (-)PFF, whereas (+)PFF and rac-PFF exhibited these effects to lesser degrees. Pre-treatment with vitamin E (600M) caused a significant attenuation in the toxic effect; reversing subsequent PFF-induced elevation of ROS and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, further strengthening the involvement of oxidative stress in PFF-mediated toxicity. In addition, the results also showed that PFF-dependent ROS accumulation, MDA release and oxidative stress gene expression preceded the loss of cell viability and induction of DNA damage, and already significantly changed at concentrations which are not yet cytotoxic or genotoxic. These results indicate that oxidative stress may contribute to PFF-induced toxicity and that it was not a consequence of it. Copyright (c) 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
