glutathione S-transferase pi
Opis:
GST pi, the main glutathione S-transferase isoform present in the human brain, was isolated from various regions of the brain and the in vitro effect of tricyclic antidepressants on its activity was studied. The results indicated that amitripyline and doxepin - derivatives of dibenzcycloheptadiene, as well as imipramine and clomipramine - derivatives of dibenzazepine, inhibit the activity of GST pi from frontal and parietal cortex, hippocampus and brain stem. All these tricyclics are noncompetitive inhibitors of the enzyme with respect to reduced glutathione and noncompetitive (amitripyline, doxepin) or uncompetitive (imipramine, clomipramine) with respect to the electrophilic substrate. Their inhibitory effect is reversible and it depends on the chemical structure of the tricyclic antidepressants rather than on the brain localization of the enzyme. We conclude that the interaction between GST pi and the drugs may reduce their availability in the brain and thus affect their therapeutic activity. On the other hand, tricyclic antidepressants may decrease the efficiency of the enzymatic barrier formed by GST and increase the exposure of brain to toxic electrophiles. Reactive electrophiles not inactivated by GST may contribute in adverse effects caused by these drugs.

glutathione S-transferase pi
Opis:
Glutathione S-transferase pi (GST pi) is an enzyme involved in cell protection against toxic electrophiles and products of oxidative stress. GST pi expression was studied in transgenic mice hybrids (B6-C3H) with symptoms of neurodegeneration harboring SOD1G93A (SOD1/+), Dync1h1 (Cra1/+) and double (Cra1/SOD1) mutations, at presymptomatic and symptomatic stages (age 70, 140, 365 days) using RT-PCR and Western blotting. The main changes in GST pi expression were observed in mice with the SODG93A mutation. In SOD1/+ and Cra1/SOD1 transgenics, with the exception of cerebellum, the changes in GST pi-mRNA accompanied those in GST pi protein. In brain cortex of both groups the expression was unchanged at the presymptomatic (age 70 days) but was lower at the symptomatic stage (age 140 days) and at both stages in hippocampus and spinal cord of SOD1/+ but not of Cra1/SOD1 mice compared to age-matched wild-type controls. In cerebellum of the presymptomatic and the symptomatic SOD1/+ mice and presymptomatic Cra1/SOD1 mice, the GST pi-mRNA was drastically elevated but the protein level remained unchanged. In Cra1/+ transgenics there were no changes in GST pi expression in any CNS region both on the mRNA and on the protein level. It can be concluded that the SOD1G93A but not the Dync1h1 mutation significantly decreases detoxification efficiency of GST pi in CNS, however the Dync1h1 mutation reduces the effects caused by the SOD1G93A mutation. Despite similarities in neurological symptoms, the differences in GST pi expression between SOD1/+ and Cra1/+ transgenics indicate a distinct pathogenic entity of these two conditions.
