Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by dopaminergic neuron loss, inflammation and oxidative stress injury in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc). Tripartite motif 10 (TRIM10) belongs to the TRIM family of proteins and has been implicated to play a role in in PD, although supporting evidence has yet to be established. 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+), the metabolite of MPTP (Mitochondrial parkinsonian neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetra-hydropyridine), is often used to generate a cellular model of PD. In this study, we found that MPP + inhibited cell proliferation and induced TRIM10 expression. Knockdown of TRIM10 alleviated cell apoptosis and ROS generation induced by MPP+. Further, MPP + decreased the expression of dual specificity phosphatase 6 (DUSP6) and this effect was reversed by TRIM10 knockdown. Moreover, DUSP6 alleviated cell apoptosis and ROS generation induced by TRIM10. Of note, TRIM10 suppressed DUSP6 by promoting DUSP6 ubiquitination. In conclusion, silencing of TRIM10 reduced cell apoptosis and ROS levels in a cellular model of PD, suggesting a potential role of TRIM10 in PD treatment.
