Primary astrocytes isolated from DJ-1 (-/-) mice reveal a decreased nuclear localization of DJ-1 protein in response to rotenone or LPS, with a concomitant increase in mitochondrial localization of DJ-1 found only in the rotenone exposure.

DJ-1alpha and DJ-1beta double knockout flies are viable, fertile, and have a normal lifespan; however, they display a striking selective sensitivity to those environmental agents, including paraquat and rotenone, linked to PD in humans.

Neurochem Int. 2009 Dec;55(8):760-7. Epub 2009 Aug 6.

To examine the neuroprotective effect of pramipexole against oxidative stress, we used a DJ-1-knockdown SH-SY5Y cell line and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrometry.

18715146 Ethell DW, Fei Q: Parkinson-linked genes and toxins that affect neuronal cell death through the Bcl-2 family. Antioxid Redox Signal. 2009 Mar;11(3):529-40.

Oxidative stress induced by the neurotoxins MPTP, paraquat, maneb, and rotenone causes lipid peroxidation and protein misfolding that affects cell death through members of the Bcl-2 family.
Of the familial mutations identified thus far, two of the loci encode proteins associated with ubiquitin-proteasome degradation of misfolded proteins (Parkin and Uch-L1), and two encode proteins associated with mitochondria and oxidative stress (DJ-1 and PINK1).

J Biol Chem. 2005 Dec 30;280(52):42655-68. Epub 2005 Oct 19.

C. elegans lines with these genetic changes were more vulnerable than nontransgenic nematodes to mitochondrial complex I inhibitors, including rotenone, fenperoximate, pyridaben, or stigmatellin.

Previously, in a cellular model of PD, we identified nucleolin as a protein interacting with alpha-synuclein and DJ-1, two critical proteins involved in PD pathogenesis.
Furthermore, manipulation of nucleolin in an in vitro model of PD resulted in significant alterations in the generation of oxidative stress as well as proteasomal inhibition following rotenone exposure.

Many sporadic PD patients have a defect in mitochondria respiration, and some of the genes that cause PD are mitochondrial-related (e.g., PINK1, Parkin, DJ1).
