It is well known that disrupted brain iron homeostasis was involved in Parkinson's disease (PD). Astrocytes, the major glial cell type in the central nervous system, are largely responsible for iron distribution in the brain. However, how iron metabolism changes of astrocytes in PD are not fully elucidated. In the present study, we first observed that both iron influx and efflux were enhanced with 10 μM 6-OHDA treatment for 24 hrs in primary cultured astrocytes. In accordance with this iron traffic modulations, iron importer divalent metal transporter 1 with iron responsive element (DMT1+IRE) and exporter ferroportin 1 (FPN1) were up-regulated in these cells. Iron regulatory protein 1 (IRP1) showed a dynamic regulation with 6-OHDA treatment, as indicated by a moderate up-regulation at 12 hrs, however, down-regulation at 24 hrs. These results suggest that 6-OHDA might promote iron transport rate in astocytes by regulating iron transporters and IRP1 expression.
