Abstract
Defects in repair of damaged brain accumulate injury and contribute to slow-developing neurodegeneration. Here, we report that a deficiency of DJ-1, a Parkinson's disease (PD) gene, delays repair of brain injury due to destabilization of Sox9, a positive regulator of astrogliosis. Stereotaxic injection of ATP into the brain striatum produces similar size of acute injury in wild-type and DJ-1-knockout (KO) mice. However, recovery of the injury is delayed in KO mice, which is confirmed by 9.4T magnetic resonance imaging and tyrosine hydroxylase immunostaining. DJ-1 regulates neurite outgrowth from damaged neurons in a non-cell autonomous manner. In DJ-1 KO brains and astrocytes, Sox9 protein levels are decreased due to enhanced ubiquitination, resulting in defects in astrogliosis and glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor/ brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression in injured brain and astrocytes. These results indicate that DJ-1 deficiency causes defects in astrocyte-mediated repair of brain damage, which may contribute to the development of PD.
