From the The neurotransmitter dopamine (DA) induces
apoptosis via its oxidative metabolites. This study shows that
glutaredoxin 2 (Grx2) from Escherichia coli and human
glutaredoxin could protect cerebellar granule neurons from DA-induced
apoptosis. E. coli Grx2, which catalyzes
glutathione-disulfide oxidoreduction via its -Cys-Pro-Tyr-Cys- active
site, penetrates into cerebellar granule neurons and exerts its
activity via NF-

B activation. Analysis of single and double cysteine
to serine substitutions in the active site of Grx2 showed that both
cysteine residues were essential for activity. Although DA
significantly reduced NF-
B binding activity, Grx2 could stimulate the binding of NF-
B to DNA by: (i) translocating NF-
B from the cytoplasm to the nucleus after promoting the phosphorylation and degradation of I-
B
, and (ii) activating the binding of pre
existing nuclear NF-
B. The DNA binding activity of NF-
B itself
was essential for neuronal survival. Overexpression of I-
B dominant
negative gene (I-
B-
N) in granule neurons significantly reduced
their viability, irrespective of the presence of Grx2. Ref-1 expression was down-regulated by DA but up-regulated by Grx2, while treatment of
neurons with Ref-1 antisense oligonucleotide reduced the ability of
Grx2 to activate NF-
B binding activity. These results show that Grx2
exerts its anti apoptotic activity through the activation of Ref-1,
which then activates NF-
B.
