Abstract
Increasing evidence has shown that mitochondrial dysfunction and iron accumulation contribute to the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Nedd4 family interacting protein 1 (Ndfip1) is an adaptor protein of the Nedd4 E3 ubiquitin ligases. We have previously reported that Ndfip1 showed a neuroprotective effect in cell models of PD. However, whether Ndfip1 could protect dopaminergic neurons in PD animal models in vivo and the possible mechanisms are not known. Here, our results showed that the expression of Ndfip1 decreased in the substantia nigra (SN) of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced PD mouse model. Overexpression of Ndfip1 could improve MPTP-induced motor dysfunction significantly and antagonize the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the SN of MPTP-induced mice. Further study showed that overexpression of Ndfip1 might protect against MPTP-induced neurotoxicity through regulation of voltage-dependent anion-selective channel (VDAC). In addition, we observed the downregulation of Ndfip1 and upregulation of VDAC1/2 in 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP+)-induced SH-SY5Y cells. Furthermore, high expression of Ndfip1 in SH-SY5Y cells inhibited MPP+-induced increase of VDAC1/2 and restored MPP+-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. Furthermore, Ndfip1 prevented MPP+-induced increase in the expression of long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 4 (ACSL4), suggesting the possible role of Ndfip1 in regulating ferroptosis. Our results provide new evidence for the neuroprotective effect of Ndfip1 on dopaminergic neurons in PD animal models and provide promising targets for the treatment of iron-related diseases, including PD.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction is considered to be one of the important pathogenesis in Parkinson's disease (PD). We previously showed that pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) could protect SH-SY5Y cells and dopaminergic neurons from cytotoxicity and prevent mitochondrial dysfunction in rotenone-induced PD models. In the present study we investigated the mechanisms underlying the protective effects of PQQ in a mouse PD model, which was established by intraperitoneal injection of rotenone (3 mg·kg-1·d-1, ip) for 3 weeks. Meanwhile the mice were treated with PQQ (0.8, 4, 20 mg·kg-1·d-1, ip) right after rotenone injection for 3 weeks. We showed that PQQ treatment dose-dependently alleviated the locomotor deficits and nigral dopaminergic neuron loss in PD mice. Furthermore, PQQ treatment significantly diminished the reduction of mitochondria number and their pathological change in the midbrain. PQQ dose-dependently blocked rotenone-caused reduction in the expression of PGC-1α and TFAM, two key activators of mitochondrial gene transcription, in the midbrain. In rotenone-injured human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, PTMScan Direct analysis revealed that treatment with PQQ (100 μM) differentially regulated protein phosphorylation; the differentially expressed phosphorylated proteins included the signaling pathways related with adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway. We conducted Western blot analysis and confirmed that AMPK was activated by PQQ both in PD mice and in rotenone-injured SH-SY5Y cells. Pretreatment with AMPK inhibitor dorsomorphin (4 μM) significantly attenuated the protective effect and mitochondrial biogenesis by PQQ treatment in rotenone-injured SH-SY5Y cells. Taken together, PQQ promotes mitochondrial biogenesis in rotenone-injured mice and SH-SY5Y cells via activation of AMPK signaling pathway.

Abstract
Nedd4 family interacting protein 1 (Ndfip1) is an adaptor of Nedd4-family ubiquitin ligases. Experimental results showed that Ndfip1 had a potential neuroprotective effect in neurology diseases. However, the neuroprotective effect and the underlying mechanisms of Ndfip1 in Parkinson's disease (PD) have not yet been fully elucidated. Therefore, in this study, we explored the neuroprotective effect of Ndfip1 against mitochondrial complex I inhibitor rotenone in a human dopaminergic neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell line and further elucidated its possible underlying mechanisms. Our results showed that rotenone could induce the up-regulation of α-synuclein (α-syn) in both mRNA and protein levels. The expression of Ndfip1 decreased at 24 h after rotenone treatment. Further study showed that high expression of Ndfip1 could protect SH-SY5Y cells against rotenone-induced neurotoxicity and antagonize the rotenone-induced increase in α-syn protein levels. In addition, high expression of Ndfip1 inhibited rotenone-induced increase in the protein levels of caspase-3 and decrease in tyrosine hydroxylase (TH). Further study showed that Ndfip1 did not affect the protein expression of iron regulatory protein 1 (IRP1), transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1), while antagonized the increase in protein levels of P62 and ferritin L caused by rotenone. Our findings provide specific identification of Ndfip1 proteins to inhibit the increase of α-syn in rotenone-induced SH-SY5Y cells. Ndfip1 might be a new theoretical drug target for the prevention and treatment of PD.

Abstract
The mammary gland is an important organ for lactation in dairy goats. Mammary gland development and lactation functions are primarily regulated by natural hormones and certain crucial regulatory factors. Nedd4 family-interacting protein 1 (Ndfip1) can specifically bind to neural precursor cell-expressed, developmentally downregulated protein 4 (Nedd4) family members to participate in ubiquitination, which in turn regulates a range of biological processes in the body. However, the effects of Ndfip1 expression regulation at the post-transcriptional level on the development of mammary gland cells have not been previously reported. To study the regulation of Ndfip1 at post-transcriptional level, the overexpression and interference vectors of Ndfip1 were constructed, and co-transfected into the primary mammary gland epithelial cells cultured in vitro with miR-143 mimics and inhibitor. Dual luciferase reporter gene system, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, western blotting, cholecystokinin octapeptide assays, and flow cytometry were used to identify their regulation and function. As a result, Ndfip1 was targeted and regulated by miR-143, which influences the development of mammary gland epithelial cells in dairy goats cultured in vitro. This study will lay an experimental foundation for further understanding the functions of Ndfip1 and miR-143.

Front Aging Neurosci 2018; 10:165.

Abstract
We have previously reported that high expression of divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) plays a crucial role in iron dyshomeostasis and β-amyloid (Aβ) peptide generation in the brain of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Recent studies have shown that Nedd4 family interacting protein 1 (Ndfip1) can degrade DMT1 through ubiquitination pathway and reduce the accumulation of intracellular iron. The present study aims to evaluate whether Ndfip1 is involved in AD pathogenesis through mediating DMT1 degradation and iron metabolism. β-amyloid precursor protein/presenilin 1 (APP/PS1) transgenic mouse and Ndfip1 transfected SH-SY5Y cells were used in this study. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot were performed to examine the distribution and expression levels of Ndfip1 and DMT1. In addition, ELISA and calcein fluorescence were carried out for analyzing the levels of Aβ peptide and iron influx, respectively. The results showed that Ndfip1 immunoreactivity was decreased in the cortex and hippocampus of APP/PS1 mice, compared with wild type (WT) controls. Colocalization of Ndfip1 and Aβ within senile plaques could be observed. Immunoblot analyses showed that low expression of Ndfip1 and high expression of DMT1 proteins were detected in APP/PS1 mouse brain, compared with age-matched WT animals. Overexpression of Ndfip1 down-regulated DMT1 expression, and reduced iron influx and Aβ secretion in SH-SY5Y cells. Further, overexpressed Ndfip1 significantly attenuated iron-induced cell damage in Ndfip1 transfected cells. The present study suggests that lower expression of Ndfip1 might be associated with the pathogenesis of AD, through decreasing DMT1 degradation and increasing iron accumulation in the brain.
