Abstract

6-hydroxydopamine, 1-methyl-4-phenyl-pyridinium (MPP+), and rotenone cause the death of dopaminergic neurons in vitro and in vivo and are widely used to model Parkinson's disease. To identify regulated genes in such models, we performed serial analysis of gene expression on neuronal PC12 cells exposed to 6-hydroxydopamine. This revealed a striking increase in transcripts associated with the unfolded protein response. Immunoblotting confirmed phosphorylation of the key endoplasmic reticulum stress kinases IRE1alpha and PERK (PKR-like ER kinase) and induction of their downstream targets. There was a similar response to MPP+ and rotenone, but not to other apoptotic initiators. As evidence that endoplasmic reticulum stress contributes to neuronal death, sympathetic neurons from PERK null mice in which the capacity to respond to endoplasmic reticulum stress is compromised were more sensitive to 6-hydroxydopamine. Our findings, coupled with evidence from familial forms of Parkinson's disease, raise the possibility of widespread involvement of endoplasmic reticulum stress and the unfolded protein response in the pathophysiology of this disease.

  • PKR is active in other neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

    “PKR is not specific to AD because it is also known to be active in other neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease [49, 170], Huntington's disease [48] and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [96].”

    From PKR, the double stranded RNA‐dependent protein kinase as a critical target in Alzheimer's disease (2009) · cites this paper as [170]

    The citation is attached to the Parkinson’s disease portion of the sentence, not the Huntington’s disease or ALS portions. The Abstract and the section ‘ER stress and the UPR are induced by 6-OHDA exposure’ report activation of PERK (PKR-like ER kinase) in Parkinson’s disease models, but do not report activation of PKR. A search for PKR found no passage establishing its activity. (LLM, conf=0.77)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
