Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Carboxyl terminus of Hsp70-interacting protein (CHIP) is a key regulator of mitochondrial dynamics, and mutations in CHIP or deficits in its expression have been associated with various neurological diseases. This study explores the protective role of CHIP in cells and murine PD models. In SH-SY5Y cell line, overexpression of CHIP improved the cell viability and increased the ATP levels upon treatment with 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+). To achieve CHIP overexpression in animal models, we intravenously injected mice with AAV/BBB, a new serotype of adeno-associated virus that features an enhanced capacity to cross the blood-brain barrier. We also generated gene knock-in mice that overexpressed CHIP in neural tissue. Our results demonstrated that CHIP overexpression in mice suppressed 1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced damage, including movement impairments, motor coordination, and spontaneous locomotor activity, as well as loss of dopaminergic neurons. In vitro and in vivo experiments showed that overexpression of CHIP inhibited the pathological increase in Drp1 observed in the PD models, suggesting that CHIP regulates Drp1 degradation to attenuate MPP+/MPTP-induced injury. We conclude that CHIP plays a protective role in MPP+/MPTP-induced PD models. Our experiments further revealed that CHIP maintains the integrity of mitochondria.
