Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological disorder that exhibits motor and non-motor symptoms. Midbrain dopaminergic neurons mainly project to the striatum, a main input station of the basal ganglia. In the striatum, there are two types of projection neurons: "direct pathway" neurons that express dopamine D1 receptors (D1R) and "indirect pathway" neurons that express dopamine D2 receptors (D2R). Imbalances between neural activity in these two pathways have been proposed to underlie the profound motor and non-motor symptoms in PD. However, differences in cellular and synaptic properties in these circuits remain unclear. To understand neural mechanisms of motor and non-motor symptoms of PD and the roles of NMDA receptor activation in information processing through the basal ganglia, we developed genetically modified mice expressing activated NMDA receptors specifically in striatal indirect pathway neurons. A single asparagine residue (N595) in the second membrane-associated segment of GluN2 subunits is critical for voltage-dependent Mg2+ blockade. We have generated the GluN2 mutant mice by a novel method for introducing a desired mutation into the gene of interest in a spatially restricted manner (Hayashi et al. 2014). Before Cre-loxP recombination, the wild-type exon 10 (N595) of GluN2 subunit was expressed in the GluN2 mutant mice. Only when the wild-type exon 10 between two loxP sequences was deleted by the action of Cre recombinase, the mutant exon 10 would be spliced into mRNA. This mutation reduced the Mg2+ block property of the NMDA receptors. We generated the mutant mice in which the mutation (N595Q) of GluN2 was selectively introduced in D2R-expressing indirect pathway neurons using the Cre-expressing mice under the control of D2R gene. Then we analyzed the distribution of Cre-expressing cells by using three-dimensional imaging after whole brain transparency technique and performed several behavior tests of the mice to examine spontaneous motor activity and learning and memory functions.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder characterized by impaired motor symptoms induced by the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc). Many factors are speculated to operate in the mechanism of PD, including oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, abnormal protein handling, and PD induced apoptosis. Besides, researchers have recently shown that inflammatory secretions may engage neighboring cells such as astrocytes, which then induce autocrine and paracrine responses that amplify the inflammation, leading to neurodegeneration.
In the present study, we analyzed the neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects of collapsin response mediator protein 4 (CRMP4) deletion in 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-injected male mice, as well as its effects on motor impairments. Our findings indicated that the deletion of CRMP4 could maintain the TH-positive fibers in the striatum and the TH-positive cells in SNc, attenuate the inflammatory responses, and improve motor coordination and rotational behavior. Furthermore, based on our findings at the early time points, we hypothesized that primary differences between the Crmp4+/+ and Crmp4-/- mice may occur in microglia instead of neurons. Although further work should be carried out to clarify the specific role of CRMP4 in the pathogenesis of PD, our findings suggest that it could be a possible target for the treatment of PD.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the nigrostriatal pathway. Although the detailed mechanism of the neuronal degeneration has not yet been identified, mitochondrial dysfunction, accumulation of aggregated proteins, oxidative stress, and dysfunction of proteolytic system are implicated in the pathogenesis of PD. Dopamine (DA) is synthesized in dopaminergic neurons, and spontaneously converted into DA oxides in the cells because of its susceptibility to oxidation. DA oxides are thought to be one of the causes of PD because it has neurotoxicity through covalent modification to cysteine residues of proteins.

Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the DA-biosynthesis. TH activity is regulated by feedback inhibition induced by binding of catecholamines such as DA and norepinephrine, and the inhibition is suppressed by the phosphorylation at the N-terminal region. The N-terminal region of TH (particularly 1-65 a.a.) is thought to be an intrinsically disordered region, which may cause protein aggregation. In this study, we examined the effect of DA oxides to TH.
We prepared DA oxides by treating DA with tyrosinase, and determined major DA oxides as aminochrome (AC) by LC-MS. We found that recombinant TH activity was reduced by incubation with DA oxides. The S40E mutant of TH can mimic the activated and phosphorylated state of TH, and DA-induced feedback inhibition was not observed in S40E mutant. We found that the incubation of TH with DA oxides strongly inhibited the activity of S40E mutant. Using MALDI-TOF-MS to determine the DA oxides modification of TH, we observed increasing mass of 147 m/z corresponding to AC modification. The increase was not detected in C176A mutant of TH, suggesting Cys176 was modified with AC. These results suggest that the modification of AC to the cysteine residue of TH can regulate its activity regardless of the phosphorylation states of TH.

We have demonstrated that microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1), an inducible terminal enzyme for PGE2 synthesis, is a critical factor of stroke-reperfusion injury and neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease. In this study, we investigated the role of mPGES-1 in neuroinflammation and neurological dysfunctions observed after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Collagenase was injected into the left striatum of adult mPGES-1 knockout (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice. In WT mice, mRNA and protein of mPGES-1 were significantly up-regulated in striatum and cerebral cortex after ICH. In mPGES-1 KO mice, although the hemorrhage and edema size were almost the same as WT mice, survival rate was significantly higher than WT mice. The PGE2 production, TNF-α induction and glial activation after ICH in mPGES-1 KO brain were significantly less than those in WT brain. DAPI and TUNEL staining showed ICH-induced nuclear condensation and DNA fragmentation in mPGES-1 KO striatum were less than those in WT striatum. Furthermore, mPGES-1 KO mice showed better performance in stepping error test, rotarod test and neurological dysfunction scoring compared with the WT mice. Because significant microglial activation was observed after ICH, the role of microglial mPGES-1 was investigated using mice primary microglial culture. Hemoglobin significantly increased PGE2 production in WT microglia, but not in mPGES-1 KO microglia. The hemoglobin-induced expressions of TNF-α and IL-1β in mPGES-1 KO microglia were significantly less than those in WT microglia. These results suggest that microglial mPGES-1 contributes to ICH-induced neuroinflammation, neuronal apoptosis, neurological dysfunctions and mortality through PGE2 production. Thus, mPGES-1 may be a new therapeutic target for ICH.

WDR45 is highly conserved during evolution and essential in autophagy. WDR45 gene de novo mutations are reported to cause static encephalopathy of childhood with neurodegeneration in adulthood (SENDA), which is a subtype of neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA). These mutations lead lower expression of WDR45 protein. Recently, the whole-exome analysis of individuals with severe and undiagnosed developmental disorders revealed that their genomes are enriched in de novomutations in developmentally important genes, including WDR45. Although these reports suggested that the WDR45 mutations play a causative role in developmental disorders, its molecular pathophysiological mechanism in embryonic stage remains largely unknown.
We here examined the role of WDR45 in mouse brain development. We first performed immunohistochemistry and western blotting to determine the WDR45 protein expression profile in the developing mouse brain. WDR45 was expressed throughout the developmental process. Acute silencing of WDR45 by in utero electroporation was then carried out to determine the knock down effects on cortical neurogenesis. It had little effects on excitatory neuron positioning during corticogenesis, but dendritic arbor formation and synaptogenesis was severely impaired. Based on these results, we propose that WDR45 is critical for the maturation of cortical excitatory neurons and it is likely to be related to pathophysiology of SENDA.

The present study investigated the effect of exercise on recovery of motor function following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in rats. Under deep anesthesia, rats were placed inside a stereotaxic apparatus, and ICH was induced by injecting a collagenase solution in 0.9% saline into the left striatum. Rats were randomly assigned to three groups: no training-ICH (ICH), no training-placebo-surgery (SHAM), and very early exercise (ICH+VET). ICH+VET rats ran on a treadmill for 60 min at 6 h and 24 h after surgery. Horizontal ladder and rotarod tests evaluated motor function. Brain tissue was collected after exercise at 27 h after surgery after surgery from all groups. Hematoma volume and cerebral edema were measured in brain tissue as well as expression of IL-1b, TGF-b1, and IGF-1 mRNA in the sensorimotor cortex and striatum using real-time PCR. The protein expression levels of NeuN and PSD95 were analyzed using Western blotting method. Horizontal ladder testing showed a significant increase in error rate for ICH+VET rats compared to the ICH group. IL-1b mRNA levels in ICH+VET rats were significantly higher than those in the ICH group in the striatum. TGF-b1 mRNA expression in ICH+VET group was significantly lower than that in the ICH group in the sensorimotor cortex. The protein expression levels of NeuN and PSD95 in the ICH + VET group were significantly lower than those in the SHAM group in the sensorimotor cortex and striatum. This study revealed that starting exercise within 24 h after cerebral hemorrhage exacerbates motor dysfunction. While this was not due to an increase in hematoma volume or cerebral edema, it may be related to suppression of anti-inflammatory and nerve growth factor upregulation and promotion of pro-inflammatory factor elevation in sensorimotor areas. Furthermore, alterations in these factors may be involved in neuronal cell death and synaptic regression.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) has been researched for a long time as representative of CNS axon injury in vivo. Recent study showed that the mutation by inhibition of CRMP2 phosphorylation at Ser522 (CRMP2KI) induces axon elongation and partial recovery of the lost sensorimotor function after SCI. Here we attempt to reveal the intracellular mechanism of SCI pathophysiology in CRMP2KI by analyzing structural pathology observed in sensorimotor cortex and by performing transcriptome analysis in the same micro-dissected region. We identified significantly large upregulation of 4 Hb genes in WT with upregulation of oxidative phosphorylation and ribosomal pathways after SCI. On the other hand, we revealed upregulation in channel activity genes and downregulation of genes regulating vesicles, synaptic function, glial cell differentiation and myelin sheath in CRMP2KI mice. In addition, spine reduction and neural cell body shrinkage were suppressed in CRMP2KI after SCI. We also revealed transcriptome profile of CRMP2KI mice for the first time and found that energy metabolism and neuronal function pathways were differentially expressed broadly. Our results suggest that CRMP2KI seems to improve SCI pathophysiology not only via microtubule stabilization in neurons but via the whole metabolic system in CNS and maybe response changes in glial cells and synapses. To summarize, we revealed new insights on SCI pathophysiology and regenerative mechanism after SCI by the inhibition of CRMP2 phosphorylation.
