Abstract
AbstractParkinson’s disease is a common neurodegenerative disease. Cell transplantation is a promising therapeutic option for improving the survival and function of dopaminergic neurons, but the mechanisms underlying the interaction between the transplanted cells and the recipient neurons remain to be studied. In this study, we investigated the effects of skin precursor cell-derived Schwann cells (SKP-SCs) directly cocultured with 6-OHDA-injured dopaminergic neurons in vitro and of SKP-SCs transplanted into the brains of 6-OHDA-induced PD mice in vivo. In vitro and in vivo studies revealed that SKP-SCs could reduce the damage to dopaminergic neurons by enhancing self-autophagy and modulating neuronal autophagy. Thus, the present study provides the first evidence that cell transplantation mitigates 6-OHDA-induced damage to dopaminergic neurons by enhancing self-autophagy, suggesting that earlier transplantation of Schwann cells might help alleviate the loss of dopaminergic neurons.
