Abstract
Membrane phospholipids, including phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), consist of distinct fatty acids occupying the sn-1 and sn-2 positions, reflecting the highly regulated nature of lipid biosynthesis. However, little is known about the influence of dietary lipids on the positional nature of fatty acids in tissues, including the enrichment of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) in chicken egg yolk phospholipids. This study was undertaken to characterize the PC and PE species in egg lipids derived from Lohmann hens (n=10/treatment) randomly allocated to either a control (no supplementation), a flaxseed oil (FO) or a marine algal oil (MA) diet. Each of the FO or MA diets supplied three levels of total omega-3 PUFA (0.20, 0.40 and 0.60% of diet) that were provided for 6 weeks. A combination of multiplexed mass spectrometry (MS) experiments are used to determine total, isobaric, and position molecules for PC and PE in egg yolk. The distribution of phospholipids in the yolk was predominantly PC over PE (~72 vs. 23%, respectively) across treatments. The longer chain PUFA existed in the sn-2 position in the PC and PE. Although docosahexaenoic acid (22:6) formed isomers with fatty acids 16:0, 18:0 and 18:1; it was preferentially enriched in the egg in combination with 16:0 with both the FO and MA-fed groups in both lipid pools. All 22:6-containing isomers were enriched by ~2-fold more (P < 0.0001) with MA than FO, however, all isomers exhibited a plateau with the FO-fed group. In addition, the MS analyses of PCs revealed several isobaric species containing eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5), however, in the PE, EPA formed only one isomer (i.e. in combination with 16:0). These results may assist to elucidate potential aspects regulating the limited enrichment of omega-3 PUFA, particularly EPA and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6) in chicken eggs.

Abstract
Elevated levels of oxidative stress or decreased antioxidant defense mechanisms may underlie the regionally increased oxidative damage to brain observed in many neurodegenerative disorders. Phase I detoxification pathways for reactive aldehydes generated from lipid peroxidation include aldehyde dehydrogenases, alcohol dehydrogenases and aldo-keto reductases (AKR). In the present study, we examined the cellular expression of AKR family member, succinic semialdehyde reductase (AKR7A2) that reduces toxic aldehydes as well as catalyzing the biosynthesis of the neuromodulator gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB). Our results show that in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus, AKR7A2 is primarily localized to glial cells, astrocytes and microglia. In the midbrain, AKR7A2 was found in glia and neuromelanin-containing neurons of the substantia nigra, and the periaqueductal gray. In sections of cerebral cortex and hippocampus from patients with AD and DLB, AKR7A2 immunoreactivity was elevated in reactive astrocytes and microglial cells. Furthermore, total AKR7A2 protein levels were elevated in the cerebral cortex of patients with AD versus control individuals. Our data suggest that reactive gliosis, as a response to injury, may affect GHB neuromodulatory pathways in neurodegenerative disease and elevate aldehyde detoxification pathways.

Abstract
A reactive intermediate generated by lipid peroxidation, 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), has received considerable attention as a potential effector of oxidative damage and Abeta peptide-mediated neurotoxicity in Alzheimer disease (AD). However, little is known about aldo-keto oxidoreductases, a group of enzymes that constitute a major detoxifying pathway for HNE and related reactive aldehydes in human brain. We have determined the regional, cellular, and class distribution in human brain of the 4 major aldo-keto oxidoreductases that detoxify HNE: aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH): aldose reductase; aldehyde reductase: and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). Of these 4 enzymes, only ALDH and aldose reductase were expressed in cerebral cortex. hippocampus, basal ganglia, and midbrain: all 4 enzymes were present in cerebellum. In cerebrum and hippocampus, aldose reductase was localized to pyramidal neurons and mitochondrial class 2 ALDH was localized to glia and senile plaques. ALDH, but not aldose reductase, activity was significantly increased in temporal cortex from patients with AD compared to age-matched controls. These results suggest that in brain regions involved in AD, neurons and glia utilize different mechanisms to detoxify HNE, and that increased ALDH activity is a protective response of cerebral cortex to AD.

Abstract
Lipid peroxidation is elevated in diseased regions of brain in several neurodegenerative diseases. Acrolein (2-propenal) is a major cytotoxic product of lipid peroxidation and its adduction to neuronal proteins has been demonstrated in diseased brain regions from patients with Alzheimer's disease. Mitochondrial abnormalities are implicated in several neurodegenerative disorders, and mitochondria are targets of alkenal adduction in vivo. We examined the effects of acrolein upon multiple endpoints associated with the mitochondrial involvement in neurodegenerative disease. Acrolein inhibited state 3 respiration with an IC(50) of approx. 0.4 micromol/mg protein; however, there was no reduction in activity of complexes I-V. This inhibition was prevented by glutathione and N-acetylcysteine. Acrolein did not alter mitochondrial calcium transporter activity or induce cytochrome c release. These studies indicate that acrolein is a potent inhibitor of brain mitochondrial respiration.

Abstract
Increased generation of neurotoxic lipid peroxidation products is proposed to contribute to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Current antioxidant therapies are directed at limiting propagation of brain lipid peroxidation. Another approach would be to scavenge the reactive aldehyde products of lipid peroxidation. N(alpha)-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) and aminoguanidine (AG) react rapidly and irreversibly with 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) in vitro, and both have been proposed as potential scavengers of HNE in biological systems. We have compared NAC, AG, and a series of congeners as scavengers of HNE and as neuroprotectants from HNE. Our results showed that while both NAC and AG had comparable chemical reactivity with HNE, only NAC and its congeners were able to block HNE-protein adduct formation in vitro and in neuronal cultures. Moreover, NAC and its congeners, but not AG, effectively protected brain mitochondrial respiration and neuronal microtubule structure from the toxic effects of HNE. We conclude that NAC and its congeners, but not AG, may act as neuroprotectants from HNE.

Abstract
Pathological and biochemical studies have consistently associated endogenous catechol oxidation with dopaminergic neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD). Recently, it has been proposed that products of catechol oxidation, the catechol thioethers, may contribute to dopaminergic neurodegeneration. In other organ systems, thioether cytotoxicity is influenced profoundly by the mercapturic acid pathway. We have pursued the hypothesis that endogenous catechol thioethers produced in the mercapturic acid pathway contribute to dopaminergic neurodegeneration. Our results showed that the extent of in vitro metal-catalyzed oxidative damage by catechol thioethers varied with the structures of the parent catechol and thioether adduct. Catechol mercapturates uniquely produced more oxidative damage than their parent catechols. In dopaminergic cell cultures, dopamine induced apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner from 5 to 50 microM. The apoptotic effect of dopamine was greatly enhanced by subcytotoxic concentrations of the mitochondrial inhibitor, N-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+). Similarly, subcytotoxic levels of the mercapturate or homocysteine conjugate of dopamine significantly augmented dopamine-induced apoptosis. Finally, microsomal fractions of substantia nigra from PD patients or age-matched controls had comparable cysteine-S-conjugate N-acetyltransferase activity. These data indicate that the mercapturate conjugate of dopamine may augment dopaminergic neurodegeneration and that the mercapturate pathway exists in human substantia nigra.

Abstract
The mechanisms that underlie dopaminergic neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD) are not known but have been proposed to involve oxidation of dopamine and related catechols. In other organ systems, cytotoxicity from catechol oxidation is profoundly influenced by mercapturate metabolism. Here we have tested the hypothesis that catechol thioethers produced in the mercapturic acid pathway may act as dopaminergic neurotoxins. A rat mesencephalic/neuroblastoma hybrid (MES) cell line was exposed to dopamine, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), or eight different catechol thioethers for up to 24 h, and the extent of apoptosis was quantified by a microculture kinetic assay. Apoptosis also was confirmed morphologically with Giemsa-stained cultures and by demonstration of internucleosomal DNA fragmentation. The results showed that dopamine at 5-50 microM produced concentration-dependent increases in the percentage of apoptotic MES cells. At 25 and 50 microM dopamine, the maximal proportions of apoptotic cells were detected at approximately 19 (20.7 +/- 2.0%) and 14 h (30.3 +/- 3.5%), respectively. None of the catechol thioethers (up to 5 microM) alone induced significant apoptosis in MES cells. However, when MES cells were incubated with dopamine (25 microM) and catechol thioethers (5 microM) to mimic pathological conditions, 5-S-N-acetylcysteinyldopamine, 5-S-homocysteinyldopamine, and 5-S-homocysteinyl-DOPAC significantly increased the percentage of apoptotic cells compared with dopamine alone. These results suggest that mercapturate metabolism of endogenous catechols may yield products that facilitate dopaminergic neurodegeneration.

Abstract
The release of cytochrome c from the mitochondrial intermembrane space can induce apoptotic cell death. Previous methods to detect cytochrome c release from mitochondria have relied upon immunoblotting, a procedure that can be limited by nonlinearity of signal, epitope masking, and impracticality for large numbers of samples. In order to circumvent these limitations, we have developed a reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography method for cytochrome c detection and quantitation by taking advantage of a novel acid-induced absorbance maximum at 393 nm for cytochrome c in buffer containing 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid. Using a C4 reverse-phase analytical column, this assay had a quantitation limit of 10 ng (0.8 pmol) of cytochrome c. We demonstrated the detection and quantitation of cytochrome c from isolated mitochondria. This method of cytochrome c analysis may be useful for the study of agents that cause mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptotic cell death.

Abstract
Increased catechol thioether formation is associated with Parkinson's disease. In this study, we examined whether catechol thioethers, having a lower oxidation potential than their parent catechols, would cause greater oxidative damage than their parent catechols. We synthesized 5'-S-glutathionyl, cysteinyl, and N-acetylcysteinyl derivatives of dopamine and dopac, encompassing the known catechol thioethers of the mercapturate pathway. Cyclic voltametry studies showed that catechol thioethers had higher reduction potentials than their parent catechols. A higher reduction potential did not correlate with an increase in oxidative damage, measured by metal-catalyzed DNA strand breakage. 5'-S-Glutathionyldopamine and the cysteinyl adducts of dopamine and dopac mediated less oxidative damage than their parent catechols. In contrast, both N-acetylcysteinyl analogs were equipotent to dopamine. Oxygen consumption corresponded to DNA damage except for 5'-S-glutathionyldopamine. The glutathionyl and cysteinyl adducts of dopamine inhibited dopamine-mediated DNA damage indicating that these adducts may have antioxidant properties. 5'-S-Glutathionyldopamine potentiated H2O2-mediated damage whereas 5-S-cysteinyldopamine was inhibitory. Our results show that the ability of catechol thioethers to cause oxidative damage in vitro is not based simply upon the reduction potential but rather, reflects a complex relationship among structures of the parent catechol and thiol adduct, metal catalyst, and oxidant.

Abstract
A destructive cycle of oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction is proposed in neurodegenerative disease. Lipid peroxidation, one outcome of oxidative challenge, can lead to the formation of 4-hydroxy-2(E)-nonenal (HNE), a lipophilic alkenal that forms stable adducts on mitochondrial proteins. In this study, we characterized the effects of HNE on brain mitochondrial respiration. We used whole rat brain mitochondria and concentrations of HNE comparable to those measured in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Our results showed that HNE inhibited respiration at multiple sites. Complex I-linked and complex II-linked state 3 respirations were inhibited by HNE with IC50 values of approximately 200 microM HNE. Respiration was apparently diminished owing to the inhibition of complex III activity. In addition, complex II activity was reduced slightly. The lipophilicity and adduction characteristics of HNE were responsible for the effects of HNE on respiration. The inhibition of respiration was not prevented by N-acetylcysteine or aminoguanidine. Studies using mitochondria isolated from porcine cerebral cortex also demonstrated an inhibition of complex I- and complex II-linked respiration. Thus, in neurodegenerative disease, oxidative stress may impair mitochondrial respiration through the production of HNE.

Abstract
Progression of Parkinson's disease has been associated with several biochemical changes in the substantia nigra including increased oxidative challenge, catechol oxidation, and inhibition of mitochondrial complex I activity. Cysteinylcatechols, formed by nucleophilic addition of cysteine to oxidized catechols, have been identified as markers of catechol oxidation in brain tissue. We have examined the neurotoxicity of a series of cysteinylcatechols. Of the compounds examined, only 5-S-cysteinyl-3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetate (cysdopac) was specifically cytotoxic to differentiated P19 neuroglial cultures. Cysdopac also was neurotoxic to pyramidal neurons in organotypic cultures of hippocampus, and this effect was ablated by selective N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists. In vitro, cysdopac was a potent inhibitor of mitochondrial complex I activity. However, electrophysiologic experiments failed to demonstrate NMDA receptor agonist activity for cysdopac, nor did cysdopac inhibit glutamate uptake. These results showed that cysdopac was the most potent neurotoxin of this series of cysteinylcatechols and suggest that cysdopac may function as an indirect excitotoxin, potentially via inhibition of mitochondrial respiration.

Abstract
The role of the sympathetic nervous system in health and disease has often been elucidated by inducing changes in, or degeneration of sympathetic neural pathways. Several methods of inducing peripheral lesions have been created from surgical removal, NGF depletion, auto-immune and chemical destruction to novel approaches using immunotoxins and transgenic animals. This review compares these methods in terms of their mechanism and specificity. The advantages and disadvantages of these techniques are discussed.

Abstract
The ability to create lesions of discrete neuronal populations is an important strategy for clarifying the function of these populations. The power of this approach is critically dependent upon the selectivity of the experimental lesioning technique. Anti-neuronal immunotoxins offer an efficient way to produce highly specific neural lesions. Two previous immunotoxins have been shown to be effective in both the CNS and PNS. They are OX7-saporin, which is targeted at Thy1, and 192-saporin, which is targeted at the low affinity neurotrophin receptor, p75NTR. In the present study, we sought to determine if an immunotoxin targeted at the neurotransmitter synthesizing enzyme, dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DBH), could selectively destroy central noradrenergic neurons after intraventricular administration. This immunotoxin, which consists of a monoclonal antibody to DBH coupled by a disulfide bond to saporin (a ribosome inactivating protein), has been shown to be selectively toxic to peripheral noradrenergic sympathetic neurons in rats after systemic injection. In the present study, immunohistochemical and Cresyl violet staining showed that the noradrenergic neurons of the locus coeruleus are destroyed bilaterally after intraventricular (i.c.v.) injection of 5, 10, and 20 micrograms of anti-DBH-saporin (alpha-DBH-sap) into rats. Complete bilateral lesioning of the A5 and A7 cell groups occurred at the two higher doses. Lesions of the A1/C1 and A2/C2/C3 cell groups were incomplete at all three doses. Dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra and ventral tegmental area and serotonergic neurons of the raphé, all monoaminergic neurons that do not express DBH, survived all alpha-DBH-sap doses. The cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain, which are selectively killed by i.c.v. injection of 192-saporin, and cerebellar Purkinje cells which are killed by OX7-saporin, were not killed by alpha-DBH-sap. These results show that alpha-DBH-sap efficiently and selectively destroys CNS noradrenergic neurons after i.c.v. injection. The preferential destruction of locus coeruleus, A5, and A7 over A1/C1 and A2/C2/C3 may be due to more efficient access of the immunotoxin to these neurons and their terminals after i.c.v. injection.

Abstract
Anti-dopamine beta-hydroxylase immunotoxin (DHIT) is an antibody-targeted noradrenergic lesioning tool comprised of a monoclonal antibody against the noradrenergic enzyme, dopamine beta-hydroxylase, conjugated to saporin, a ribosome-inactivating protein. Noradrenergic-neuron specificity and completeness and functionality of sympathectomy were assessed. Adult, male Sprague-Dawley rats were given 28.5, 85.7, 142 or 285 micrograms/kg DHIT i.v. Three days after injection, a 6% to 73% decrease in the neurons was found in the superior cervical ganglia of the animals. No loss of sensory, nodose and dorsal root ganglia, neurons was observed at the highest dose of DHIT. In contrast, the immunotoxin, 192-saporin (142 micrograms/kg), lesioned all three ganglia. To assess the sympathectomy, 2 wk after treatment (285 micrograms/kg), rats were anesthetized with urethane (1 g/kg) and cannulated in the femoral artery and vein. DHIT-treated animals' basal systolic blood pressure and heart rate were significantly lower than controls. Basal plasma norepinephrine levels were 41% lower in DHIT-treated animals than controls. Tyramine-stimulated release of norepinephrine in DHIT-treated rats was 27% of controls. Plasma epinephrine levels of DHIT animals were not reduced. DHIT-treated animals exhibited a 2-fold hypersensitivity to the alpha-adrenergic agonist phenylephrine. We conclude that DHIT selectively delivered saporin to noradrenergic neurons resulting in destruction of these neurons. Anti-dopamine beta-hydroxylase immunotoxin administration produces a rapid, irreversible sympathectomy.

Abstract
Sympathectomy has been achieved by a variety of methods but each has its limitations. These include lack of tissue specificity, incomplete lesioning, and the age range of susceptibility to the lesioning. To circumvent these drawbacks, an immunotoxin was constructed using a monoclonal antibody against the noradrenergic specific enzyme dopamine beta-hydroxylase (D beta H) coupled via a disulfide bond to saporin, a ribosomal inactivating protein. Three days after intravenous injection of the anti-D beta H immunotoxin (50 micrograms) into adult Sprague-Dawley rats, 66% of neurons in the superior cervical ganglia were chromatolytic. Superior cervical ganglia neurons were poisoned in 1 day old and 1 week old (86% of neurons) neonatal rats following subcutaneous injection of 3.75 and 15 micrograms, respectively. The anti-D beta H immunotoxin will be a useful tool in the study of the peripheral noradrenergic system in adult and neonatal animals.
