Abstract

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a well known neurodegenera-tive disorder characterized by selective loss of dopamin-ergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compact (SN). Although the exact mechanism remains unclear, oxidative stress plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of PD. DJ-1 is a multifunctional protein, a potent antioxidant and chaperone, the loss of function of which is linked to the autosomal recessive early onset of PD. Therefore, we investigated the protective effects of DJ-1 protein against SH-SY5Y cells and in a PD mouse model using a cell permeable Tat-DJ-1 protein. Tat-DJ-1 protein rapidly transduced into the cells and showed a protective effect on 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced neuronal cell death by reducing the reactive oxygen species (ROS). In addition, we found that Tat-DJ-1 protein protects against dopaminergic neuronal cell death in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6,-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced PD mouse models. These results suggest that Tat-DJ-1 protein provides a potential therapeutic strategy for against ROS related human diseases including PD.

COVER PICTURE
The bulk tissue is a heterogeneous mixture of various cell types, which is depicted as a skein of intertwined threads with diverse colors each of which represents a unique cell type. Single-cell omics analysis untangles efficiently the skein according to the color by providing information of molecules at individual cells and interpretation of such information based on different cell types. The molecules that can be profiled at the individual cell by single-cell omics analysis includes DNA (bottom middle), RNA (bottom right), and protein (bottom left). This special issue reviews single-cell technologies and computational methods that have been developed for the single-cell omics analysis and how they have been applied to improve our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of biological and pathological phenomena at the single-cell level.
