Objective: To elucidate the role of A39S mutation of DJ-1 in the onset of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and identify genes for which expressions are abnormally regulated by A39S DJ-1 mutation. Methods: We established HEK293 cell lines which stably expressed empty vector, wild-type DJ-1 and A39S mutated DJ-1 respectively. DNA microarrays were used to identify genes for which expressions change in wild-type DJ-1 cells and A39S DJ-1 mutant cells. Results: Compared with the cell line expression empty vector, we identified 42 differentially regulated genes (including 14 up-regulated genes and 28 down-regulated genes) in the wild-type DJ-1 cells and 8 differentially regulated genes (including 6 up-regulated genes and 2 down-regulated genes) in the A39S DJ-1 mutant cells. Compared with the wild-type DJ-1 cells, only the expression of UGT2B7 gene was down-regulated in A39S DJ-1 mutant cells. hTese differentially regulated genes were mainly related to signal transduction, regulation of transcription, apoptosis and metabolism. Conclusion: A39S mutated DJ-1 may disturb the transcriptional activities of DJ-l and involve in the pathogenesis of PD.

Objective To determine the frequency of mutations in PINK1 in Chinese Han people with sporadic early-onset Parkinsonism (EOP). Methods DNA sequencing was used to detect point mutations and small deletions/insertions, and quantitative real-time PCR was carried out to detect deletions/insertions and rearrangements in 149 patients and 150 healthy controls. Results Four heterozygous mutations in PINK1 were identified, including 3 missense mutations (c.832C>G, c. 938C>T, c.1 220G>A) and ex 3-8 del. A novel single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) c.899+18G>A and 14 reported SNPs were identified. Chi-square test showed that c.189C> T and c.960-5G﹥A had significant difference in the genotype frequencies and allele frequencies between the patients and the controls (for c.189C>T genotype χ2=21.244,P<0.0001; T allele χ2=24.353,P<0.0001, and for c.960-5G﹥A genotype's χ2=6.524,P =0.038; A allele χ2=6.725,P=0.0095). Conclusion About 3.35% Chinese Han patients with EOP carry mutations in PINK1. Two SNPs c.189C>T and c.960-5G>A may contribute to the risk of EOP in Chinese Han people.
