Increasing evidence suggests that oxidative damage to proteins and
other macromolecules is a salient feature of the pathology of
Alzheimer's disease. Establishing the source of oxidants is key to
understanding what role they play in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's
disease, and one way to examine this issue is to determine which
oxidants are involved in damage.
In this study, we examine whether peroxynitrite, a powerful oxidant
produced from the reaction of superoxide with nitric oxide, is involved
in Alzheimer's disease. Peroxynitrite is a source of hydroxyl
radical-like reactivity, and it directly oxidizes proteins and other
macromolecules with resultant carbonyl formation from side-chain and
peptide-bond cleavage. Although carbonyl formation is a major oxidative
modification induced by peroxynitrite, nitration of tyrosine residues
is an indicator of peroxynitrite involvement. In brain tissue from
cases of Alzheimer's disease, we found increased protein nitration in
neurons, including but certainly not restricted to those containing
neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). Conversely, nitrotyrosine was
undetectable in the cerebral cortex of age-matched control brains. This
distribution is essentially identical to that of free carbonyls.
These findings provide strong evidence that peroxynitrite is involved
in oxidative damage of Alzheimer's disease. Moreover, the widespread
occurrence of nitrotyrosine in neurons suggests that oxidative damage
is not restricted to long-lived polymers such as NFTs, but instead
reflects a generalized oxidative stress that is important in disease
pathogenesis.
