Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by activated microglia are deleterious to neurons. In this study, we studied the effect of Mn(III)tetrakis(1-methyl-4-pyridyl)porphyrin (MnTMPyP), a superoxide dismutase/catalase mimetic, on the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in rat mesencephalic neuroglia cultures. MnTMPyP exhibited a significantly protective effect against LPS (5 ng/ml)-induced neurotoxicity as determined by [3H]dopamine uptake and immunocytochemical analysis. MnTMPyP significantly attenuated LPS-induced production of superoxide free radical and prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) in microglia. These results indicate that MnTMPyP may potentially be used for the treatment of inflammation-related degenerative neurological disorders.
