Popis: Summary Parkinson disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disease caused by selective degeneration of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra. Although most cases of PD are sporadic cases, familial PD provides a versatile research model for basic mechanistic insights into the pathogenesis of PD. In this study, we generated DA neurons from PARK2 patient-specific, isogenic PARK2 null and PARK6 patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells and found that these neurons exhibited more apoptosis and greater susceptibility to rotenone-induced mitochondrial stress. From phenotypic screening with an FDA-approved drug library, one voltage-gated calcium channel antagonist, benidipine, was found to suppress rotenone-induced apoptosis. Furthermore, we demonstrated the dysregulation of calcium homeostasis and increased susceptibility to rotenone-induced stress in PD, which is prevented by T-type calcium channel knockdown or antagonists. These findings suggest that calcium homeostasis in DA neurons might be a useful target for developing new drugs for PD patients.
Graphical Abstract
Highlights • Patient-derived DA neurons recapitulate several PD-related disease phenotypes • Establishment of a system for drug screening against PD using patient-derived cells • Calcium channel antagonists suppress rotenone-induced apoptosis in PARK2 DA neurons • The involvement of dysregulated T-type calcium channels in the progression of PD
Our study demonstrate the dysregulation of calcium homeostasis and increased susceptibility to rotenone-induced stress in PD patient-derived DA neurons, which are further prevented by T-type calcium channel antagonists. These findings suggest that calcium homeostasis in DA neurons would be a useful target for developing new drugs for PD patients.
