Microglia activation contributes to quinolinic acid-induced neuronal excitotoxicity through TNF-alpha.[Pubmed:28315174]
Apoptosis. 2017 May;22(5):696-709.
It has been reported that activation of NF-kappaB is involved in excitotoxicity; however, it is not fully understood how NF-kappaB contributes to excitotoxicity. The aim of this study is to investigate if NF-kappaB contributes to Quinolinic acid (QA)-mediated excitotoxicity through activation of microglia. In the cultured primary cortical neurons and microglia BV-2 cells, the effects of QA on cell survival, NF-kappaB expression and cytokines production were investigated. The effects of BV-2-conditioned medium (BCM) on primary cortical neurons were examined. The effects of pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), an inhibitor of NF-kappaB, and minocycline (MC), an inhibitor of microglia activation, on QA-induced excitotoxicity were assessed. QA-induced NF-kappaB activation and TNF-alpha secretion, and the roles of TNF-alpha in excitotoxicity were studied. QA at the concentration below 1 mM had no apparent toxic effects on cultured primary neurons or BV-2 cells. However, addition of QA-primed BCM to primary neurons did aggravate QA-induced excitotoxicity. The exacerbation of QA-induced excitotoxicity by BCM was partially ameliorated by inhibiting NF-kappaB and microglia activation. QA induced activation of NF-kappaB and upregulation of TNF-alpha in BV-2 cells. Addition of recombinant TNF-alpha mimicked QA-induced excitotoxic effects on neurons, and neutralizing TNF-alpha with specific antibodies partially abolished exacerbation of QA-induced excitotoxicity by BCM. These studies suggested that QA activated microglia and upregulated TNF-alpha through NF-kappaB pathway in microglia. The microglia-mediated inflammatory pathway contributed, at least in part, to QA-induced excitotoxicity.

Beta-trace Protein as a new non-invasive immunological Marker for Quinolinic Acid-induced impaired Blood-Brain Barrier Integrity.[Pubmed:28276430]
Sci Rep. 2017 Mar 9;7:43642.
Quinolinic acid, a macrophage/microglia-derived excitotoxin fulfills a plethora of functions such as neurotoxin, gliotoxin, and proinflammatory mediator, and it alters the integrity and cohesion of the blood-brain barrier in several pathophysiological states. Beta-trace protein (BTP), a monomeric glycoprotein, is known to indicate cerebrospinal fluid leakage. Thus, the prior aim of this study was to investigate whether BTP might non-invasively indicate Quinolinic acid-induced impaired blood-brain barrier integrity. The research hypotheses were tested in three subsamples with different states of immune activation (patients with HCV-infection and interferon-alpha, patients with major depression, and healthy controls). BTP has also been described as a sensitive marker in detecting impaired renal function. Thus, the renal function has been considered. Our study results revealed highest Quinolinic acid and highest BTP- levels in the subsample of patients with HCV in comparison with the other subsamples with lower or no immune activation (Quinolinic acid: F = 21.027, p < 0.001 [ANOVA]; BTP: F = 6.792, p < 0.01 [ANOVA]). In addition, a two-step hierarchical linear regression model showed that significant predictors of BTP levels are Quinolinic acid, glomerular filtration rate and age. The neurotoxin Quinolinic acid may impair blood-brain barrier integrity. BTP might be a new non-invasive biomarker to indicate Quinolinic acid-induced impaired blood-brain barrier integrity.
Apocynin protects against neurological damage induced by quinolinic acid by an increase in glutathione synthesis and Nrf2 levels.[Pubmed:28323011]
Neuroscience. 2017 May 14;350:65-74.
Apocynin (APO) is a well-known NADPH oxidase (NOX) inhibitor. However, several studies have reported its ability to increase glutathione (GSH) levels. Due to GSH is a major non-enzymatic antioxidant in brain, the aim of this study was to evaluate, in the striatum of control and Quinolinic acid (QUIN) injected rats, the effect of APO administration on: (1) GSH levels, (2) activity of some enzymes involved in the GSH metabolism, and (3) nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) mRNA levels. Animals received QUIN 240nmol in right striatum and APO (5mg/kg, i.p.), 30min before and 60min after intrastriatal injection. APO treatment prevented the QUIN-induced histological damage to the striatum. In control rats, APO treatment increased GSH and Nrf2 mRNA levels and the activities of gamma-glutamylcysteine ligase (gamma-GCL), glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx). On the other hand, APO treatment prevented the QUIN-induced decrease in GSH and Nrf2 levels, and in gamma-GCL and GPx activities. These data indicate that APO is able to increase GSH levels and the activity of proteins involved in its metabolism, which could be associated with its ability to increase the Nrf2 mRNA levels.
The endogenous agonist quinolinic acid and the non endogenous homoquinolinic acid discriminate between NMDAR2 receptor subunits.[Pubmed:8740453]
Neurochem Int. 1996 Apr;28(4):445-52.
Quinolinic acid is an endogenous neurotoxin with NMDA receptor agonist properties. As such it may be the etiologic agent in many diseases. In this paper the NMDA receptor agonist properties of Quinolinic acid, as well as those of homoQuinolinic acid, a non endogenous analogue, were investigated in Xenopus oocytes injected with 12-day-old rat cortical mRNA or with recombinant NMDA receptors. In oocytes injected with cortical mRNA, Quinolinic acid was a weak NMDA receptor agonist: millimolar concentrations were necessary to induce responses that were smaller than maximal responses induced by NMDA; homoQuinolinic acid and NMDA had similar affinities but different efficacies: maximal responses induced by homoQuinolinic acid were larger than maximal responses induced by NMDA. Cortical mRNA, as verified by RT-PCR and restriction analysis, contains various NMDA subunits. In order to investigate if the low affinity or efficacy of Quinolinic acid could be explained by receptor composition, the pharmacological properties of the putative agonists were investigated in oocytes expressing binary combinations of recombinant NMDA receptors. Quinolinic acid did not activate receptors containing NR1 + NR2C but did activate receptors containing NR1 + NR2A and NR1 + NR2B even if only at millimolar concentrations; homoQuinolinic acid activated all subunit combinations but was less efficient than NMDA only in the NR1 + NR2C subunit combination. The relative efficacies of Quinolinic acid and homoQuinolinic acid were evaluated by comparing the maximal responses induced by these agonists with those induced by NMDA and glutamate in the same oocytes. The rank order of potency was Quinolinic acid < NMDA < homoQuinolinic acid < or = glutamate for the NR1 + NR2A and NR1 + NR2B combinations whereas for NR1 + NR2C it was Quinolinic acid << << homoQuinolinic acid < NMDA < or = glutamate. The use of Quinolinic acid and homoQuinolinic acid may thus help to identify endogenous receptors containing the NR2C subunit.
Quinolinate differentiates between forebrain and cerebellar NMDA receptors.[Pubmed:1676371]
Eur J Pharmacol. 1991 Feb 26;194(1):123-5.
The potency of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), ibotenate, L-glutamate and quinolinate for inhibiting [3H]L-glutamate binding to rat brain NMDA receptors was determined by quantitative autoradiography. In contrast to NMDA, ibotenate and L-glutamate, quinolinate more potently displaced binding in forebrain regions than in the cerebellum. Of all drug-region combinations, only quinolinate affinity in the cerebellum was best described by a two-affinity component model (Ki = 24 and 275 microM; 45% high affinity). The cerebellum appears to contain a unique quinolinate-insensitive NMDA receptor subtype.
