Abstract
PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) mutations are responsible for an autosomal recessive, familial form of Parkinson’s disease. PINK1 protein is a Ser/Thr kinase localized to the mitochondrial membrane and is involved in many processes including mitochondrial trafficking, mitophagy, and proteasomal function. Using a new PINK1 knockout (PINK1 KO) rat model, we found altered brain metabolomic markers using magnetic resonance spectroscopy, identified changes in mitochondrial pathways with quantitative proteomics using sequential window acquisition of all theoretical spectra (SWATH) mass spectrometry, and demonstrated mitochondrial functional alterations through measurement of oxygen consumption and acidification rates. The observed alterations included reduced creatine, decreased levels of complex I of the electron transport chain, and increased proton leak in the electron transport chain in PINK1 KO rat brains. In conjunction, these results demonstrate metabolomic and mitochondrial alterations occur during the asymptomatic phase of Parkinson’s disease in this model. These results indicate both potential early diagnostic markers and therapeutic pathways that can be used in PD.

Cortical metabolomic measurement of PINK1-deficient rats. Metabolites were measured in the cortex using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in vivo. Measurements of alanine (A), aspartate (B), choline (C), creatine (D), GABA (E), glutamate (F), glutamine (G), glycerophosphocholine (H), glycine (I), lactate (J), N-acetylaspartate (K), and taurine (L) were taken at 10 (2.5 weeks) weeks of age every 4 weeks until 34 (8.5 months) weeks of age. The measurements were normalized to the total metabolite measurement. Statistical significance was determined by a repeated measures two-way ANOVA. Sidak’s post hoc comparison test was used to determine difference at any given time point. Listed p values correspond to p values generated by ANOVA. *p ≤ 0.05 on Sidak’s post hoc comparison test. n = 6 for cortical LEH and PINK1 KO animals. (GIF 66 kb)
