Abstract
Epidemiological studies have revealed a potent association between chronic exposure to rotenone, a commonly used pesticide, in individuals and the incidence of Parkinson's disease (PD). We previously identified the contribution of the activation of microglial NADPH oxidase (NOX2) in rotenone-induced neurotoxicity. However, the regulation of NOX2 activation remains unexplored. Integrins are known to be bidirectionally regulated in the plasma membrane through the inside-out and outside-in signaling. CD11b is the α-chain of integrin macrophage antigen complex-1. This study aimed to investigate whether CD11b mediates rotenone-induced NOX2 activation. We observed that rotenone exposure increased NOX2 activation in BV2 microglia, which was associated with elevated CD11b expression. Silencing CD11b significantly reduced rotenone-induced ROS production and p47phox phosphorylation, a key step for NOX2 activation. Furthermore, the Src-FAK-PKB and Syk-Vav1-Rac1 signaling pathways downstream of CD11b were found to be essential for CD11b-mediated NOX2 activation in rotenone-intoxicated microglia. Interestingly, we also found that inhibition of NOX2 decreased rotenone-induced CD11b expression, indicating a crosstalk between CD11b and NOX2. Subsequently, the inhibition of the CD11b-NOX2 axis suppressed rotenone-induced microglial activation and exosome release. Furthermore, inhibiting exosome synthesis in microglia blocked rotenone-induced gene expression of proinflammatory factors and related neurotoxicity. Finally, blocking the CD11b-NOX2 axis and exosome synthesis or endocytosis mitigated microglial activation and dopaminergic neurodegeneration in rotenone-intoxicated midbrain primary cultures. Our findings highlight the crucial involvement of the CD11b-NOX2 axis in rotenone-induced inflammation and neurotoxicity, offering fresh perspectives on the underlying mechanisms of pesticide-induced neuronal damage.

Abstract
Rac1 is a member of the Rho GTPase family which plays major roles in cell mobility, polarity and migration, as a fundamental regulator of actin cytoskeleton. Signal transduction by Rac1 occurs through interaction with multiple effector proteins, and its activity is regulated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) and GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs). The small protein is mainly anchored to the inner side of the plasma membrane but it can be found in endocellular compartments, notably endosomes and cell nuclei. The protein localizes also into mitochondria where it contributes to the regulation of mitochondrial dynamics, including both mitobiogenesis and mitophagy, in addition to signaling processes via different protein partners, such as the proapoptotic protein Bcl-2 and chaperone sigma-1 receptor (σ-1R). The mitochondrial form of Rac1 (mtRac1) has been understudied thus far, but it is as essential as the nuclear or plasma membrane forms, via its implication in regulation of oxidative stress and DNA damages. Rac1 is subject to diverse post-translational modifications, notably to a geranylgeranylation which contributes importantly to its mitochondrial import and its anchorage to mitochondrial membranes. In addition, Rac1 contributes to the mitochondrial translocation of other proteins, such as p53. The mitochondrial localization and functions of Rac1 are discussed here, notably in the context of human diseases such as cancers. Inhibitors of Rac1 have been identified (NSC-23766, EHT-1864) and some are being developed for the treatment of cancer (MBQ-167) or central nervous system diseases (JK-50561). Their effects on mtRac1 warrant further investigations. An overview of mtRac1 is provided here.
