Angiotensin II (AII) plays a major role in the progression of inflammation and NADPH-derived oxidative stress (OS) in several tissues. The brain possesses a local angiotensin system, and OS and inflammation are key factors in the progression of Parkinson's disease. In rat mesencephalic cultures, AII increased 6-OHDA-induced dopaminergic (DA) cell death, generation of superoxide in DA neurons and microglial cells, the expression of NADPH-oxidase mRNA, and the number of reactive microglial cells. These effects were blocked by All type-1 (AT1) antagonists, NADPH inhibitors, or elimination of glial cells. DA degeneration increased angiotensin converting enzyme activity and All levels. In rats, 6-OHDA-induced dopaminergic cell loss and microglial activation were reduced by treatment with AT1 antagonists. The present data suggest that All, via AT1 receptors, increases the dopaminergic degeneration process by amplifying the inflammatory response and intraneuronal levels of OS, and that glial cells play a major role in this process.
