ObjectiveTo investigate the role of aberrant Dyrk1a expression in phosphorylation modification at the α-synuclein serine 129 (Ser129) site to analyze its molecular mechanism in mediating apoptosis of PD.MethodsThe protein level of P-α-synuclein (Ser129), α-synuclein, Bcl-2, Bax, active caspase 3, GSK3β, PI3K, AKT, and cyclinD1 were detected. The mRNA transcript levels of Dyrk1a and DAT and protein levels of IL-1β, IL-6, COX-2, and TNF-α were detected.ResultsP-α-synuclein (Ser129), α-synuclein, Bax, active caspase 3, GSK3β, and cyclinD1 expressions were decreased in Dyrk1a-AAV-ShRNA (P P P P P β, IL-6, COX-2, and TNF-α protein levels were decreased in Dyrk1al-AAV-Sh-RNA (P ConclusionAbnormal Dyrk1a expression can affect α-synuclein phosphorylation modifications, and dyrk1a knockdown activates the PI3K/AKT pathway and reduces dopaminergic neuron apoptosis. It provides a theoretical basis for the group to further investigate the molecular mechanism.
