Protective effects of cell permeable Tat-PIM2 protein on oxidative stress induced dopaminergic neuronal cell death

Oxidative stress is considered as one of the main causes of Parkinson's disease (PD), however the exact etiology of PD is still unknown. Although it is known that Proviral Integration Moloney-2 (PIM2) promotes cell survival by its ability to inhibit formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in...

Zusammenfassung:Oxidative stress is considered as one of the main causes of Parkinson's disease (PD), however the exact etiology of PD is still unknown. Although it is known that Proviral Integration Moloney-2 (PIM2) promotes cell survival by its ability to inhibit formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the brain, the precise functional role of PIM2 in PD has not been fully studied yet. We investigated the protective effect of PIM2 against apoptosis of dopaminergic neuronal cells caused by oxidative stress-induced ROS damage by using the cell permeable Tat-PIM2 fusion protein in vitro and in vivo. Transduction of Tat-PIM2 into SH-SY5Y cells and apoptotic signaling pathways were determined by Western blot analysis. Intracellular ROS production and DNA damage was confirmed by DCF-DA and TUNEL staining. Cell viability was determined by MTT assay. PD animal model was induced by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) and protective effects were examined using immunohistochemistry. Transduced Tat-PIM2 inhibited the apoptotic caspase signaling and reduced the production of ROS induced by 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+) in SH-SY5Y cells. Furthermore, we confirmed that Tat-PIM2 transduced into the substantia nigra (SN) region through the blood-brain barrier and this protein protected the Tyrosine hydroxylase-positive cells by observation of immunohistostaining. Tat-PIM2 also regulated antioxidant biomolecules such as SOD1, catalase, 4-HNE, and 8-OHdG which reduce the formation of ROS in the MPTP-induced PD mouse model. These results indicated that Tat-PIM2 markedly inhibited the loss of dopaminergic neurons by reducing ROS damage, suggesting that Tat-PIM2 might be a suitable therapeutic agent for PD.
