AimDifferentiated embryonic chondrocyte gene 1 (DEC1) is involved in the neuronal differentiation and development. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of DEC1 in 1‐methyl‐4‐phenyl‐1,2,3,6‐tetrahydropyridine (MPP+)‐induced PD model.MethodsThe location of DEC1 and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)‐positive neurons were detected by immunofluorescence. 1‐methyl‐4‐phenyl‐1,2,3,6‐tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)‐induced mouse subacute model of PD was established to evaluate the change of DEC1 expression in midbrain. Then, SH‐SY5Y cells were used to investigate the role of DEC1 in MPP+‐induced neurotoxicity.ResultsWe showed that the co‐expressed DEC1 and TH neurons took up more than 80% of the expressed TH neurons in the midbrain of mice. DEC1/TH double‐positive neurons decreased by 40.6% in SNpc and 28.8% in VTA of MPTP‐injured mice. Consistently, DEC1, TH and dopamine transporter (DAT) expression decreased in the midbrain of MPTP mice. In SY‐SY5Y cells, MPP+significantly suppressed DEC1 expression and increased the cleaved caspase 3/caspase 3 and Bax/Bcl‐2. DEC1 overexpression relieved, whereas DEC1 knockdown aggravated MPP+‐induced cytotoxicity. Likewise, DEC1 overexpression and knockdown inversely regulated the expression of β‐catenin and PI3Kp110α (PIK3CA), an essential role in Wnt/β‐catenin and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways. Interestingly, LY294002, an inhibitor of PI3K/Akt signaling, aggravated, whereas LiCl, an activator of Wnt/β‐catenin signaling, abolished the reduction in DEC1 by MPP+. It is established that these two pathways are interconnected by the phosphorylation status of GSK3β. DEC1 overexpression increased but MPP+and DEC1 knockdown decreased GSK3β phosphorylation.ConclusionDownregulation of DEC1 contributes to MPP+‐induced neurotoxicity by suppressing PI3K/Akt/GSK3β pathway.
