2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin and kynurenine induce Parkin expression in neuroblastoma cells through different signaling pathways mediated by the aryl hydrocarbon receptor.
Toxicology Letters 2024 March 3
Parkin regulates protein degradation and mitophagy in dopaminergic neurons. Deficiencies in Parkin expression or function lead to cellular stress, cell degeneration, and the death of dopaminergic neurons, which promotes Parkinson's disease. In contrast, Parkin overexpression promotes neuronal survival. Therefore, the mechanisms of Parkin upregulation are crucial to understand. We describe here the molecular mechanism of AHR-mediated Parkin regulation in human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. Specifically, we report that the human Parkin gene (PRKN) is transcriptionally upregulated by the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) through two different selective ligand-dependent pathways. 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), a stress-inducing AHR ligand, indirectly promotes PRKN transcription by inducing ATF4 expression via TCDD-mediated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. In contrast, kynurenine, a nontoxic AHR agonist, induces PRKN transcription by promoting AHR binding to the PRKN promoter without activating ER stress. Our results demonstrate that AHR activation may be a potential pharmacological pathway to induce human Parkin, but such a strategy must carefully consider the choice of AHR ligand to avoid neurotoxic side effects.
