Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the molecular mechanism underlying oxidative and inflammatory neuronal
cell death induced by endosulfan, a pesticide belonging to the chemical family of organochlorines. The cortical and
hippocampal tissues derived from Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats treated with endosulfan exhibited increased intracellular
accumulation of reactive oxygen species and oxidative damages to cellular macromolecules such as depletion of glutathione,
lipid peroxidation, and protein carbonylation. Conversely, the expression of antioxidant enzymes including
γ-glutamylcysteine ligase (GCL), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) was markedly reduced
in the brain tissues exposed to endosulfan. Moreover, during endosulfan-induced neuronal cell death, mRNA expression
of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) was elevated, which
seemed to be mediated by the activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) by phosphorylation of p65 subunit. These
results suggest a new molecular mechanism underlying the endosulfan-induced acute neurotoxicity via induction of
oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory responses.
