Regulation of oxidative stress by pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) mediated by PACAP receptor.
Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a multifunctional peptide that has been shown to be neuroprotective following a diverse range of cell injuries. Although several mechanisms regulating this effect have been reported, no direct evidence has linked PACAP to the regulation of oxidative stress, despite the fact that oxidative stress is a factor in the injury progression that occurs in most models. In the present study, we investigated the plasma oxidative metabolite and anti-oxidation potential levels of PACAP-deficient mice, as well as those of wild-type animals treated with PACAP38. These were assayed by the determination of Reactive Oxidative Metabolites (d-ROMs) and the Biological Anti-oxidant Potential (BAP) using the Free Radical Electron Evaluator system. We also investigated the direct radical scavenging potency of PACAP38 and the functional role of its receptor in the regulation of oxidative stress by PACAP, by using vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and the PACAP receptor antagonist, PACAP6-38. Although younger PACAP null mice displayed no significant effect, greater d-ROMs and lower BAP values were recorded in older animals than in their wild-type littermates. Intravenous injection of PACAP38 in wild-type mice decreased the plasma d-ROMs and BAP values in a dose-dependent manner. These effects were not reproduced using VIP and were abolished by co-treatment with PACAP38 and the PAC1R antagonist PACAP6-38. Taken together, these results suggest that PACAP plays an important role in the physiological regulation of oxidative stress.
