Expression of wild-type DJ-1 rescued primary dopaminergic neurons from toxicity elicited by rotenone, proteasome inhibitors, and mutant alpha-synuclein.
In contrast, inhibition of alpha-synuclein toxicity by DJ-1 correlated with up-regulation of the stress-inducible form of Hsp70.

Toxins such as 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), or rotenone have been used to induce degeneration of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the nigrostriatal pathway and to reproduce pathological characteristics of Parkinson's disease (PD).
Another membrane-permeable compound (Tat-Hsp70) could be delivered into the retina after i.p. application, suggesting that the blood-retina barrier (BRB) could be overcome after systemic application.

We now show that VPA attenuates rotenone (a potent complex I inhibitor)-induced apoptosis through the induction of heat shock protein 70, which may interact with apoptotic-protease-activating factor 1.
