ABSTRACT
Source abstract
Altered iron homeostasis has long been implicated in Parkinson's Disease (PD), although the mechanisms have not been clear. Given the critical role of PD-related activating mutations in LRRK2 (leucine-rich repeat protein kinase 2) within membrane trafficking pathways we examined the impact of a homozygous mutant LRRK2G2019S on iron homeostasis within the RAW macrophage cell line with high iron capacity. Proteomics analysis revealed a dysregulation of iron-related proteins in steady state with highly elevated levels of ferritin light chain and a reduction of ferritin heavy chain. LRRK2G2019S mutant cells showed efficient ferritinophagy upon iron chelation, but upon iron overload there was a near complete block in the degradation of the ferritinophagy adaptor NCOA4. These conditions lead to an accumulation of phosphorylated Rab8 at the plasma membrane, which is selectively inhibited by LRRK type II kinase inhibitors. Iron overload then leads to increased oxidative stress and ferroptotic cell death. These data implicate LRRK2 as a key regulator of iron homeostasis and point to the need for an increased focus on the mechanisms of iron dysregulation in PD.
