Caspase-8 is a proximal effector protein of the tumor necrosis
factor receptor family death pathway. In the present human postmortem
study, we observed a significantly higher percentage of dopaminergic
(DA) substantia nigra pars compacta neurons that displayed
caspase-8 activation in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients compared
with controls. In an in vivo experimental PD model,
namely subchronically 1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-treated mice, we also show that caspase-8 is indeed activated after exposure to this toxin
early in the course of cell demise, suggesting that caspase-8 activation precedes and is not the consequence of cell death. However,
cotreatment of 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium-intoxicated primary DA
cultures with broad-spectrum and specific caspase-8 inhibitors did not
result in neuroprotection but seemed to trigger a switch from apoptosis
to necrosis. We propose that this effect is related to ATP depletion
and suggest that the use of caspase inhibitors in pathologies linked to
intracellular energy depletion, such as PD, should be cautiously evaluated.
