Abstract |
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder. Accumulating evidences suggest that PD might have a strong neurodevelopmental component. Among the genetic cases, mutations in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) are well known to be disease causing. Although the molecular mechanism of the pathogenic LRRK2 function is not fully clear, inhibition of microRNA (miRNA) activity has been suggested to be among the pathogenic LRRK2 targets. Here, we demonstrate that the miRNA activity inhibition function of pathogenic LRRK2 is directly antagonized by the neuronal cell fate determinant TRIM32. These findings suggest that TRIM32 might be a modifier for PD and could be a novel therapeutic target. |
