- Abstract: BACKGROUND:Whether coiled-coil-helix-coiled-coil-helix domain-containing 2(CHCHD2)can regulate the neuroprotective role of PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitochondrial autophagy in Parkinson's disease remains unknown.OBJECTIVE:To explore the role and mechanisms of CHCHD2 in the 6-hydroxydopamine-induced Parkinson's disease cell model in mediating the PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway and its involvement in mitochondrial autophagy.METHODS:Utilizing recombinant plasmid transfection technology to overexpress or knockdown CHCHD2,SH-SY5Y cells were constructed with a Parkinson's disease model using 6-hydroxydopamine,and divided into control group,model group,overexpression negative control+6-hydroxydopamine group,knockdown negative control+6-hydroxydopamine group,overexpression CHCHD2+6-hydroxydopamine group,and knockdown CHCHD2+6-hydroxydopamine group.Western blot assay and RT-qPCR were used to detect CHCHD2 expression.Western blot assay was utilized to detect the protein expression of LC3Ⅰ/Ⅱ,p62,MFN1,COXIV,DRP1,PINK1,Parkin,TIM23,Bax,Bcl-2,and cleaved-caspase 3.CCK-8 assay,JC-1,and reactive oxygen species assay kits were used to measure cell viability,mitochondrial membrane potential,and reactive oxygen levels.Monodansylcadaverine staining was used to observe cell autophagy.Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe autophagolysosomes.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the control group,cell activity,mitochondrial membrane potential,and the protein expression levels of CHCHD2,PINK1,and Parkin were decreased,and the levels of reactive oxygen species,apoptosis,and LC3Ⅰ/Ⅱ and p62 proteins were increased(P＜0.05),and the presence of autophagic lysosomes was observed in the model group.(2)Compared with the model group,overexpression of CHCHD2 could reduce the level of cellular reactive oxygen species,increase the mitochondrial membrane potential,and the expression levels of PINK1,Parkin,and MFN1 proteins,and observed an increase in mitochondrial autolysosomes,and the knockdown of CHCHD2 had the opposite effect with the increase of COXIV,TIM23 and p-DRP1 protein expression(P＜0.05).(3)Compared with the model group,overexpression of CHCHD2 reduced apoptosis,up-regulated Bcl-2,and down-regulated the expression of Bax and cleaved-caspase3 proteins,while knockdown of CHCHD2 had the opposite effect(P＜0.05).(4)The results suggest that CHCHD2 can play a neuroprotective role by promoting PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitochondrial autophagy,improving mitochondrial function,and alleviating apoptosis in 6-hydroxydopamine-induced Parkinson's disease cell models.
