Elucidation of the interplay between Fe(II), Fe(III), and dopamine with relevance to iron solubilization and reactive oxygen species generation by catecholamines.

ABSTRACT: The non-enzymatically catalyzed oxidation of dopamine (DA) and the resultant formation of powerful oxidants such as the hydroxyl radical ((•) OH) through 'Fenton chemistry' in the presence of iron within dopaminergic neurons are thought to contribute to the damage of cells or even lead to neuronal degenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease. An understanding of DA oxidation as well as the transformation of the intermediates that are formed in the presence of iron under physiological conditions is critical to understanding the mechanism of DA and iron induced oxidative stress. In this study, the generation of H2 O2 through the autoxidation and iron-catalyzed oxidation of DA, the formation of the dominant complex via the direct reaction with Fe(II) and Fe(III) in both oxygen saturated and deoxygenated conditions and the oxidation of Fe(II) in the presence of DA at physiological pH 7.4 were investigated. The oxidation of DA resulted in the generation of significant amounts of H2 O2 with this process accelerated significantly in the presence of Fe(II) and Fe(III). At high DA:Fe(II) ratios, the results from this study suggest that DA plays a protective role by complexing Fe(II) and preventing it from reacting with the generated H2 O2 . However, the accumulation of H2 O2 may result in cellular damage as high intracellular H2 O2 concentrations will result in the oxidation of remaining Fe(II) mainly through the peroxidation pathway. At low DA:Fe(II) ratios however, it is likely that DA will act as a pro-oxidant by generating H2 O2 which, in the presence of Fe(II), will result in the production of strongly oxidizing (•) OH radicals. Powerful oxidants such as the hydroxyl radical ((•) OH) have previously been thought to be generated through the interplay between dopamine (DA) and iron, contributing to damage to cells and, potentially, leading to neuronal degenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease. Our results suggest that DA plays a dual role as high DA/Fe(II) ratios prevent Fe(II) from reacting with the generated H2 O2 thereby reducing (•) OH generation, whereas low DA/Fe(II) ratios enhance (•) OH generation as a result of reaction of unbound Fe(II) and H2 O2 produced via both autoxidation and iron-catalyzed oxidation of DA.

Project description:Iron-reducing bacteria (IRB) are strongly involved in Fe cycling in surface environments. Transformation of Fe and associated trace elements is strongly linked to the reactivity of various iron minerals. Mechanisms of Fe (oxyhydr)oxides bio-reduction have been mostly elucidated with pure bacterial strains belonging to Geobacter or Shewanella genera, whereas studies involving mixed IRB populations remain scarce. The present study aimed to evaluate the iron reducing rates of IRB enriched consortia originating from complex environmental samples, when grown in presence of Fe (oxyhydr)oxides of different mineralogy. The abundances of Geobacter and Shewanella were assessed in order to acquire knowledge about the abundance of these two genera in relation to the effects of mixed IRB populations on kinetic control of mineralogical Fe (oxyhydr)oxides reductive dissolution. Laboratory experiments were carried out with two freshly synthetized Fe (oxyhydr)oxides presenting contrasting specific surfaces, and two defined Fe-oxides, i.e., goethite and hematite. Three IRB consortia were enriched from environmental samples from a riverbank subjected to cyclic redox oscillations related to flooding periods (Decize, France): an unsaturated surface soil, a flooded surface soil and an aquatic sediment, with a mixture of organic compounds provided as electron donors. The consortia could all reduce iron-nitrilotriacetate acid (Fe(III)-NTA) in 1-2 days. When grown on Fe (oxyhydr)oxides, Fe solubilization rates decreased as follows: fresh Fe (oxyhydr)oxides > goethite > hematite. Based on a bacterial rrs gene fingerprinting approach (CE-SSCP), bacterial community structure in presence of Fe(III)-minerals was similar to those of the site sample communities from which they originated but differed from that of the Fe(III)-NTA enrichments. Shewanella was more abundant than Geobacter in all cultures. Its abundance was higher in presence of the most efficiently reduced Fe (oxyhydr)oxide than with other Fe(III)-minerals. Geobacter as a proportion of the total community was highest in the presence of the least easily solubilized Fe (oxyhydr)oxides. This study highlights the influence of Fe mineralogy on the abundance of Geobacter and Shewanella in relation to Fe bio-reduction kinetics in presence of a complex mixture of electron donors.
