This study found that the neurotoxin symbolscript can trigger cell death of dopamine neurons, leading to Parkinson's disease symptoms. Additionally, the neurotoxin directly affects mitochondrial function and transcription, resulting in reduced ATP production. These findings reveal the direct effects of symbolscript on cellular processes, while other gene expression or epigenetic changes are secondary effects reflecting cellular adaptation.
The neurotoxin symbolscript triggers cell death of dopamine neurons and induces Parkinson's disease symptoms in mice and men, but the immediate transcriptional response to this neurotoxin has not been studied. We therefore treated human SH-SY5Y cells with a low dose (0.1 mM) of symbolscript and measured the effect on nascent tran-scription by precision run-on sequencing (PRO-seq). We found that transcription of the mitochondrial genome was significantly reduced already after 30 min, whereas nuclear gene transcription was unaffected. Inhibition of respiratory complex I by symbolscript led to reduced ATP production, that may explain the diminished activity of mitochondrial RNA polymerase. Our results show that symbolscript has a direct effect on mitochondrial function and transcription, and that other gene expression or epigenetic changes induced by this neurotoxin are secondary effects that reflect a cellular adaptation program.
