1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) produces
clinical, biochemical, and neuropathological changes reminiscent of
those occurring in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD). Here we show
that a peptide caspase inhibitor,
N-benzyloxy-carbonyl-val-ala-asp-fluoromethyl ketone, or adenoviral gene transfer (AdV) of a protein caspase inhibitor, X-chromosome-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP), prevent
cell death of dopaminergic substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc)
neurons induced by MPTP or its active metabolite
1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium in vitro and in
vivo. Because the MPTP-induced decrease in striatal concentrations of dopamine and its metabolites does not differ between
AdV-XIAP- and control vector-treated mice, this protection is not
associated with a preservation of nigrostriatal terminals. In contrast,
the combination of adenoviral gene transfer of XIAP and of the glial
cell line-derived neurotrophic factor to the striatum provides
synergistic effects, rescuing dopaminergic SNpc neurons from cell death
and maintaining their nigrostriatal terminals. These data suggest that
a combination of a caspase inhibitor, which blocks death, and a
neurotrophic factor, which promotes the specific function of the
rescued neurons, may be a promising strategy for the treatment of PD.
