DJ-1 knock-down impairs astrocyte mitochondrial function.
Mitochondrial dysfunction has long been implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). PD brain tissues show evidence for mitochondrial respiratory chain Complex I deficiency. Pharmacological inhibitors of Complex I, such as rotenone, cause experimental parkinsonism. The cytoprotective protein DJ-1, whose deletion is sufficient to cause genetic PD, is also known to have mitochondri...
متن کاملKnock-down of PQBP1 impairs anxiety-related cognition in mouse.
PQBP1 (polyglutamine tract-binding protein 1) is a causative gene for a relatively frequent X-linked syndromic and non-syndromic mental retardation (MR). To analyze behavioral abnormalities of these patients from molecular basis, we developed a knock-down (KD) mouse model. The KD mice possess a transgene expressing 498 bp double-strand RNA that is endogenously cleaved to siRNA suppressing PQBP1...
متن کاملDJ-1 is critical for mitochondrial function and rescues PINK1 loss of function.
Mutations or deletions in PARKIN/PARK2, PINK1/PARK6, and DJ-1/PARK7 lead to autosomal recessive parkinsonism. In Drosophila, deletions in parkin and pink1 result in swollen and dysfunctional mitochondria in energy-demanding tissues. The relationship between DJ-1 and mitochondria, however, remains unclear. We now report that Drosophila and mouse mutants in DJ-1 show compromised mitochondrial fun...
متن کاملHyperthermia impairs liver mitochondrial function in vitro.
The effects of temperature on the relationships among the rates of pyruvate carboxylation, O(2) uptake (J(o)), oxidative phosphorylation (J(p)), and the free energy of ATP hydrolysis (G(p)) were studied in liver mitochondria isolated from 250-g female rats. Pyruvate carboxylation was evaluated at 37, 40, and 43 degrees C. In disrupted mitochondria, pyruvate carboxylase maximal reaction velocity...
متن کاملDJ-1 acts in parallel to the PINK1/parkin pathway to control mitochondrial function and autophagy.
Mutations in DJ-1, PINK1 (PTEN-induced putative kinase 1) and parkin all cause recessive parkinsonism in humans, but the relationships between these genes are not clearly defined. One event associated with loss of any of these genes is altered mitochondrial function. Recent evidence suggests that turnover of damaged mitochondria by autophagy might be central to the process of recessive parkinso...
