• W4387490770 abstract "Abstract Mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) are the most common genetic cause of Parkinson’s disease (PD), which is the leading neurodegenerative movement disorder characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc). However, whether LRRK2 mutations cause PD and degeneration of DA neurons via a toxic gain-of-function or a loss-of-function mechanism is unresolved and has pivotal implications in LRRK2 based PD therapy. In this study, we investigate whether LRRK2 and its functional homologue LRRK1 play an essential, intrinsic role in DA neuron survival through the development of DA neuron-specific LRRK conditional double knockout (cDKO) mice. We first generated and characterized floxed LRRK1 and LRRK2 mice and then confirmed that germline deletions of the floxed LRRK1 and LRRK2 alleles result in null alleles, as evidenced by the absence of LRRK1 and LRRK2 mRNA and protein in the respective homozygous deleted mutant mice. We further examined the specificity of Cre-mediated recombination driven by the dopamine transporter - Cre ( DAT-Cre ) knockin (KI) allele using a GFP reporter line and confirmed that DAT-Cre -mediated recombination is restricted to DA neurons in the SNpc. Crossing these validated floxed LRRK1 and LRRK2 mice with DAT-Cre KI mice, we then generated DA neuron-restricted LRRK cDKO mice and further showed reduced levels of LRRK1 and LRRK2 in dissected ventral midbrains of LRRK cDKO mice. While DA neuron-restricted LRRK cDKO mice of both sexes exhibit normal mortality and body weight, they develop age-dependent loss of DA neurons in the SNpc, as demonstrated by the progressive reduction of DA neurons in the SNpc of cDKO mice at 20 and 24 months of age. Moreover, DA neurodegeneration is accompanied with increases of apoptosis and elevated microgliosis in the SNpc of LRRK cDKO mice. These findings provide unequivocal evidence for the importance of LRRK in DA neurons and raise the possibility that LRRK2 mutations may impair its protection of DA neurons, leading to the loss of DA neurons in Parkinson’s disease." @default.
