Involvement of casein kinase 1 epsilon/delta (Csnk1e/d) in the pathogenesis of familial Parkinson's disease caused by CHCHD2
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder that results from the loss of dopaminergic neurons. Mutations in coiled‐coil‐helix‐coiled‐coil‐helix domain containing 2 (CHCHD2) gene cause a familial form of PD with α‐Synuclein aggregation, and we here identified the pathogenesi...

Summary: | Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder that results from the loss of dopaminergic neurons. Mutations in coiled‐coil‐helix‐coiled‐coil‐helix domain containing 2 (CHCHD2) gene cause a familial form of PD with α‐Synuclein aggregation, and we here identified the pathogenesis of the T61I mutation, the most common disease‐causing mutation of CHCHD2. In Neuro2a cells, CHCHD2 is in mitochondria, whereas the T61I mutant (CHCHD2
T61I
) is mislocalized in the cytosol. CHCHD2
T61l
then recruits casein kinase 1 epsilon/delta (Csnk1e/d), which phosphorylates neurofilament and α‐Synuclein, forming cytosolic aggresomes.
In vivo
, both Chchd2
T61I
knock‐in and transgenic mice display neurodegenerative phenotypes and aggresomes containing Chchd2
T61I
, Csnk1e/d, phospho‐α‐Synuclein, and phospho‐neurofilament in their dopaminergic neurons. Similar aggresomes were observed in a postmortem PD patient brain and dopaminergic neurons generated from patient‐derived iPS cells. Importantly, a Csnk1e/d inhibitor substantially suppressed the phosphorylation of neurofilament and α‐Synuclein. The Csnk1e/d inhibitor also suppressed the cellular damage in CHCHD2

mutant mice. These results indicate that Csnk1e/d is involved in the pathogenesis of PD caused by the CHCHD2

mutation.
Synopsis
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder. The Thr61Ile (T61I) mutation of coiled‐coil‐helix‐coiled‐coil‐helix domain containing 2 (CHCHD2/PARK22) is a causative factor for familial PD. However, the pathogenesis of this mutation in PD remains unclear.
Mutant CHCHD2
T61I
was mislocalized to the cytoplasm in Neuro2a cells, where Casein kinase 1 epsilon and delta (Csnk1e/d) were accumulated.
Neurofilament and α‐Synuclein were phosphorylated by Csnk1e/d, resulting in the formation of aggresomes in dopaminergic neurons expressing CHCHD2
T61l
.
Accumulated Chchd2 with Csnk1e/d and p‐α‐Synuclein, and dopaminergic neuronal loss were found in Chchd2
T61I
knock‐in mice.
Similar abnormalities were found in the postmortem brain of a CHCHD2
T61I
PD patient and iPSC‐derived dopaminergic neurons with the CHCHD2
T61I
mutation.
The neurodegenerative phenotypes and neuronal pathology of Chchd2
T61I
mutant mice and cellular damage in iPSC‐derived dopaminergic neurons with the CHCHD2
T61I
mutation were improved by pharmacological inhibition of Csnk1e/d.
