The Kv3.4 channel is characterized by fast inactivation and sensitivity to oxidation. However, the physiological role of Kv3.4 as an oxidation-sensitive channel has yet to be investigated. Here, we demonstrate that Kv3.4 plays a pivotal role in oxidative stress-related neural cell damage as an oxidation-sensitive channel and that HIF-1α down-regulates Kv3.4 function, providing neuroprotection. MPP+ and CoCl2 are reactive oxygen species (ROS)-generating reagents that induce oxidative stress. However, only CoCl2 decreases the expression and function of Kv3.4. HIF-1α, which accumulates in response to CoCl2 treatment, is a key factor in Kv3.4 regulation. In particular, mitochondrial Kv3.4 was more sensitive to CoCl2. Blocking Kv3.4 function using BDS-II, a Kv3.4-specific inhibitor, protected SH-SY5Y cells against MPP+-induced neural cell death. Kv3.4 inhibition blocked MPP+-induced cytochrome c release from the mitochondrial intermembrane space to the cytosol and mitochondrial membrane potential depolarization, which are characteristic features of apoptosis. Our results highlight Kv3.4 as a possible new therapeutic paradigm for oxidative stress-related diseases, including Parkinson's disease.
