Abstrakt: Increasing evidence has shown that mitochondrial dysfunction and iron accumulation contribute to the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Nedd4 family interacting protein 1 (Ndfip1) is an adaptor protein of the Nedd4 E3 ubiquitin ligases. We have previously reported that Ndfip1 showed a neuroprotective effect in cell models of PD. However, whether Ndfip1 could protect dopaminergic neurons in PD animal models in vivo and the possible mechanisms are not known. Here, our results showed that the expression of Ndfip1 decreased in the substantia nigra (SN) of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced PD mouse model. Overexpression of Ndfip1 could improve MPTP-induced motor dysfunction significantly and antagonize the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the SN of MPTP-induced mice. Further study showed that overexpression of Ndfip1 might protect against MPTP-induced neurotoxicity through regulation of voltage-dependent anion-selective channel (VDAC). In addition, we observed the downregulation of Ndfip1 and upregulation of VDAC1/2 in 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP + )-induced SH-SY5Y cells. Furthermore, high expression of Ndfip1 in SH-SY5Y cells inhibited MPP + -induced increase of VDAC1/2 and restored MPP + -induced mitochondrial dysfunction. Furthermore, Ndfip1 prevented MPP + -induced increase in the expression of long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 4 (ACSL4), suggesting the possible role of Ndfip1 in regulating ferroptosis. Our results provide new evidence for the neuroprotective effect of Ndfip1 on dopaminergic neurons in PD animal models and provide promising targets for the treatment of iron-related diseases, including PD.
