Abstract
Parkin is an E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Necroptosis is a regulated form of cell death that depends on receptor interacting protein 1 (RIP1) and 3 (RIP3). Importantly, parkin has been implicated in ubiquitination events that can alter inflammation and necroptosis. Here, we investigated how parkin influences microglial function. Incubation of BV-2 microglial cells with zVAD.fmk (zVAD) induced high levels of cell death and viability loss, while N9 microglial cells and primary microglia required further stimuli. Importantly, necrostatin-1 (Nec-1), an inhibitor of RIP1 kinase activity, abrogated cell death, thus implicating RIP1-dependent necroptosis in cell death. Cell death was characterized by necrosome assembly, as determined by sequestration of RIP1/RIP3 in insoluble fractions and by MLKL phosphorylation, which were all abolished by Nec-1. Also, necroptosis-inducing conditions led to TNF-α secretion, which may in turn contribute to autocrine necroptosis activation. Interestingly, parkin knockdown protected BV-2 cells from zVAD-induced necroptosis, which may depend on the higher RIP1 ubiquitination levels detected in siRNA-PARK2 transfected cells. This effect was independent of inflammation, since pro-inflammatory stimulation of BV-2 and primary microglia with silenced parkin resulted in stronger pro-inflammatory gene expression, an opposite observation from zVAD-exposed BV-2 cells. LPS-mediated inflammation was exacerbated by NF-κB/JNK over-activation. Finally, no alterations in mitochondrial ROS production were detected in any condition, thereby excluding the role of parkin in mitophagy. In conclusion, here, we reveal that parkin may have unsuspected roles in microglia by modulating ubiquitination. Parkin loss exacerbates inflammation and promotes survival of activated microglia, thus contributing to chronic neuroinflammation.
