Loss of PINK1 Causes Age-dependent Mitochondrial Trafficking Deficits in Nigrostriatal Dopaminergic Neurons Through Aberrant Activation of p38 MAPK
2024-07-19
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 ( PINK1 ) cause early-onset, autosomal-recessive Parkinson’s disease (PD). While previous studies showed age-related declines in dopamine release and ATP levels in Pink1 -/- mice, the mechanisms remain unclear. Using a novel TH-Mito-Dendra2 transgenic mouse model to label dopaminergic neuron mitochondria, it is found that PINK1 loss leads to age-dependent deficits in...
