Abstrakt: Impairments in mitochondrial energy metabolism are thought to be involved in many neurodegenerative diseases. The mitochondrial inhibitor 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NP) induces striatal pathology mimicking neurodegeneration in vivo. Previous studies showed that 3-NP also triggered autophagy activation and apoptosis. In this study, we focused on the high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) protein, which is important in oxidative stress signaling as well as in autophagy and apoptosis, to explore whether the mechanisms of autophagy and apoptosis in neurodegenerative diseases are associated with metabolic impairment. To elucidate the role of HMGB1 in striatal degeneration, we investigated the impact of HMGB1 on autophagy activation and cell death induced by 3-NP. We intoxicated rat striata with 3-NP by stereotaxic injection and analyzed changes in expression HMGB1, proapoptotic proteins caspase-3 and phospho-c-Jun amino-terminal kinases (p-JNK). 3-NP-induced elevations in p-JNK, cleaved caspase-3, and autophagic marker LC3-II as well as reduction in SQSTM1 (p62), were significantly reduced by the HMGB1 inhibitor glycyrrhizin. Glycyrrhizin also significantly inhibited 3-NP-induced striatal damage. Neuronal death was replicated by exposing primary striatal neurons in culture to 3-NP. It was clear that HMGB1 was important for basal autophagy which was shown by rescue of cells through HMGB1 targeting shRNA approach.3-NP also induced the expression of HMGB1, p-JNK, and LC3-II in striatal neurons, and p-JNK expression was significantly reduced by shRNA knockdown of HMGB1, an effect that was reversed by exogenously increased expression of HMGB1. These results suggest that HMGB1 plays important roles in signaling for both autophagy and apoptosis in neurodegeneration induced by mitochondrial dysfunction.
