Glutamate kills neuronal cells by either a receptor-mediated
pathway or the inhibition of cystine uptake, the ``oxidative
pathway.'' Antioxidants can block cell death initiated by either
pathway, suggesting that toxicity is dependent on the production of
free radicals. We provide evidence that in a neuronal cell line,
glutamate toxicity via the oxidative pathway requires monoamine
metabolism as a source of free radicals. Glutamate toxicity is
inhibited by monoamine oxidase (MAO) type-A-specific inhibitors, but
only at concentrations much higher than those required to inhibit
classical type-A MAO. Toxicity is not inhibited by MAO type-B-specific
inhibitors at any concentration. Furthermore, treatment of cells with
agents that block monoamine uptake inhibits glutamate toxicity. These
results suggest that an enzyme distinct from MAO is involved in
monoamine metabolism and demonstrate a relationship between glutamate
toxicity and monoamine metabolism. These data also have implications
for the understanding and treatment of neurodegenerative disorders in
which glutamate toxicity is thought to be involved.
