OBJECTIVES: To investigate how expressing wild-type or G2019S LRRK2 modifies cellular responses to rotenone, a mitochondrial toxin.

Furthermore, LRRK2 mutant flies also display reduced lifespan and increased sensitivity to rotenone, a mitochondrial complex I inhibitor.

J Neurosci. 2009 Jul 22;29(29):9210-8.

Expressing human LRRK2 increased nematode survival in response to rotenone or paraquat, which are agents that cause mitochondrial dysfunction.

However, these flies were more sensitive to rotenone.

However, dLRRK mutant flies were selectively sensitive to hydrogen peroxide induced stress but not to paraquat, rotenone and beta-mercaptoethanol induced stresses.

GBA and LRRK, the genes responsible for Gaucher disease and PARK8, respetively, are also likely to affect the development of PD.
Mitochondrial complex I inhibitors, such as MPTP and rotenone, induce selective dopaminergic neuronal death, suggesting that chemicals may constitute risk factors of sporadic PD.
