The pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD) is complex and requires further exploration. Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) is associated with both familial and sporadic PD. Abnormal iron accumulation is found in the substantia nigra of PD patients, but its exact effects are not clear. This study shows that iron dextran exacerbates neurological deficits and loss of dopaminergic neurons in rats with 6-OHDA lesions, and iron promotes the activation of LRRK2, which in turn accelerates ferrous iron uptake.
The pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD) is very complex and still needs further exploration. Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) is associated with familial PD in mutant forms and sporadic PD in the wild-type form. Abnormal iron accumulation is found in the substantia nigra of PD patients, but its exact effects are not very clear. Here, we show that iron dextran exacerbates the neurological deficit and loss of dopaminergic neurons in 6-OHDA lesioned rats. 6-OHDA and ferric ammonium citrate (FAC) significantly increase the activity of LRRK2 as reflected by the phosphorylation of LRRK2, at S935 and S1292 sites. 6-OHDA-induced LRRK2 phosphorylation is attenuated by the iron chelator deferoxamine, especially at the S1292 site. 6-OHDA and FAC markedly induce the expression of pro-apoptotic molecules and the production of ROS by activating LRRK2. Furthermore, G2019S-LRRK2 with high kinase activity showed the strongest absorptive capacity for ferrous iron and the highest intracellular iron content among WT-LRRK2, G2019S-LRRK2, and kinase-inactive D2017A-LRRK2 groups. Taken together, our results demonstrate that iron promotes the activation of LRRK2, and active LRRK2 accelerates ferrous iron uptake, suggesting that there exists an interplay between iron and LRRK2 in dopaminergic neurons, providing a new perspective to uncover the underlying mechanisms of PD occurrence.
