Overexpression of Parkin Ameliorates Dopaminergic Neurodegeneration Induced by 1- Methyl-4-Phenyl-1,2,3,6-Tetrahydropyridine in Mice
Mutations in the parkin gene are currently thought to be the most common cause of recessive familial Parkinsonism. Parkin functions as an E3 ligase to regulate protein turnover, and its function in mitochondrial quality control has been reported recently. Overexpression of parkin has been found to prevent neuronal degeneration under various conditions both in vivo and in vitro. Here, we generat...
متن کاملElevated interleukin-1beta induced by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine aggravating dopaminergic neurodegeneration in old male mice.
IL-1beta is a potent pro-inflammatory cytokine that regulates neuroinflammation during brain damage. The expression of IL-1beta has been reported to be elevated in the striatum and substantia nigra of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Moreover, greater prevalence of PD in men than in women is described previously. Here, by using a sensitive mice model in which the expression of luciferase...
متن کاملCold water stress attenuates dopaminergic neurotoxicity induced by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine in mice.
In the present study, we tested the effect of cold water stress (CWS) on dopaminergic neurons in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced Parkinson's disease (PD) mouse model, and found that CWS pretreatment elicited less MPTP neurotoxicity. To understand the molecular mechanism underlying this phenomenon, we detected the expression of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) in the str...
متن کاملRho kinase II interference by small hairpin RNA ameliorates 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-induced parkinsonism in mice
Novel therapeutic targets are required for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD). Previous studies suggest that the Rho/Rho‑associated, coiled‑coil‑containing protein kinases (ROCKs) signaling pathway may be a promising therapeutic target in PD. To elucidate the importance of ROCKII in the pathogenesis of dopaminergic (DA) neuron loss and to investigate the efficacy of ROCK inhibitors in PD...
متن کاملBax ablation prevents dopaminergic neurodegeneration in the 1-methyl- 4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine mouse model of Parkinson's disease.
1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) damages dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) as seen in Parkinson's disease. Here, we show that the pro-apoptotic protein Bax is highly expressed in the SNpc and that its ablation attenuates SNpc developmental neuronal apoptosis. In adult mice, there is an up-regulation of Bax in the SNpc after MPTP administration ...
