Abstract
Background: Pin1 regulates several signaling proteins by isomerizing the cis/trans conformation of the Ser(P)-Pro peptide bond. Results: Pin1 is up-regulated in dopaminergic neurons in cell culture, animal models, and human PD brains. Pin1 inhibition protects dopaminergic neurons in PD models. Conclusion: Pin1 up-regulation plays a proapoptotic function in PD. Significance: Pin1 inhibition may be a viable translational strategy in PD.
