RTP801 Is Induced in Parkinson's Disease and Mediates Neuron Death by Inhibiting Akt Phosphorylation/Activation
Open accessAbstract
Previously, we reported that RTP801, a stress regulated protein, is induced in multiple cellular models of Parkinson's disease (PD), in an animal model of PD and in dopaminergic neurons of PD patients. In cellular PD models, RTP801 is both sufficient and necessary for death. We further showed that RTP801 and PD mimetics such as 6-OHDA trigger neuron death by suppressing activation of the key kinase mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). Here, we report that as a consequence of mTOR signaling blockade, 6-OHDA suppresses the phosphorylation and activation of Akt, a major supporter of neuron survival. This effect is mediated by RTP801 and appears to underlie neuron death induced by 6-OHDA. Examination of postmortem dopaminergic neurons reveals a consistent depletion of phospho-Akt, but not of total Akt in PD patients. These observations support a sequential mechanism in which PD-associated stresses induce RTP801, suppress mTOR signaling, deplete phosphorylated/activated Akt and permit neuron degeneration and death.

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.
