Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease that affects millions of elderly people worldwide and is characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc). The precise mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of PD are still not fully understood, but it is well accepted that the misfolding, aggregation, and abnormal degradation of proteins are the key causative factors of PD. Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) is a molecular chaperone that participates in the degradation of misfolded and aggregated proteins in living cells and organisms. Parkin, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, participates in the degradation of proteins via the proteasome pathway. Recent studies have indicated that both Hsp70 and Parkin play pivotal roles in PD pathogenesis. In this review, we focus on discussing how dysregulation of Hsp70 and Parkin leads to PD pathogenesis, the interaction between Hsp70 and Parkin in the context of PD and their therapeutic applications in PD.

Dynamic Changes in the Nigrostriatal Pathway in the MPTP Mouse Model of Parkinson's Disease. PARKINSONS DISEASE 2017; 2017:9349487.

Abstract
The characteristic brain pathology and motor and nonmotor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) are well established. However, the details regarding the causes of the disease and its course are much less clear. Animal models have significantly enriched our current understanding of the progression of this disease. Among various neurotoxin-based models of PD, 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) mouse model is the most commonly studied model. Here, we provide an overview of the dynamic changes in the nigrostriatal pathway in the MPTP mouse model of PD. Pathophysiological events, such as reductions in the striatal dopamine (DA) concentrations and levels of the tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) protein, depletion of TH-positive nerve fibers, a decrease in the number of TH-positive neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc), and glial activation, are addressed. This article will assist with the development of interventions or therapeutic strategies for PD.

Abstract
Neurons depend on mitochondria for homeostasis and survival, and thus, mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease (PD). Increasing evidence indicates the mitochondrial uncoupler, 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP), protects neurons against neurodegeneration and enhances neural plasticity. Here, the authors evaluated the protective effects of intraperitoneally (i.p.) administered low dose DNP in an acute mouse model of PD. Mice were administered DNP (1 or 5mg/kg) for 12 consecutive days, and then on day 13, MPTP (20mg/kg, i.p.) was administered four times (with 2h intervals between injections) to induce PD. It was found that MPTP-induced motor dysfunction was ameliorated in the DNP-treated mice versus vehicle-treated controls. Additionally, DNP effectively attenuated dopaminergic neuronal loss observed in MPTP treated mice. Moreover, in primary cultured neurons, DNP at 10μM, but not at 100μM, prevented MPP+-induced cell death and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) reduction. In addition, DNP was observed to cause the nuclear translocation of Nrf2 in primary neurons. Taken together, these findings of the present study suggest that DNP protects dopaminergic neurons against neurodegeneration and maintains MMP integrity in PD by activating adaptive stress responses.

Abstract
It is postulated that supplementation of exogenous nerve growth factor (NGF) might mediate improvement of the cardiac sympathetic nerve function in heart failure (HF). Local intramuscular injection of NGF near the cardiac sympathetic ganglia could influence the innervation pattern, norepinephrine transporter (NET) gene expression, and improve the cardiac remodeling in experimental HF animals. In this study, we injected NGF into the scalenus medius muscles of Sprague-Dawley rats with abdominal aortic constriction (AC). The nerve innervated pattern, left ventricular morphology, and function following injection in rats with AC were investigated respectively by immunohistochemistry and echocardiography. Levels of mRNA expression of NET, growth associated protein 43 (GAP 43), NGF and its receptors TrkA and p75(NTR), and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) were measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction. The results showed that myocardial NGF mRNA levels were comparable in rats with AC. Short-term supplementation of exogenous NGF raised the myocardial NGF immunoreactivity, but did not cause hyperinnervation and NET mRNA upregulation in the AC rats. Furthermore, myocardial TrkA mRNA was found to be remarkably decreased and p75(NTR) mRNA was increased. Myocardial TrkA downregulation may play a beneficial effect for avoiding the hyperinnervation, and it is reasonable to postulate that p75(NTR) can function as an NGF receptor in the absence of TrkA. Interestingly, local NGF administration into the neck muscles near the ganglia could attenuate cardiac remodeling and downregulate BNP mRNA. These results suggest that exogenous NGF can reach the target tissue along the axons anterogradely, and improve the cardiac remodeling.
