Abstract

The canonical Wnt signaling pathway is critical for the development of midbrain dopaminergic (DA) neurons, and recent studies have suggested that disruption of this signaling cascade may underlie the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the exact role of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway, including low‑density lipoprotein receptor‑related protein 5 and 6 (LRP5/6) and β‑catenin components, in a mouse model of PD remains unclear. In the present study, the tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)‑Cre transgenic mouse line was used to generate mice with the specific knockout of LRP5, LRP6 or β‑catenin in DA neurons. Following inactivation of LRP5, LRP6 or β‑catenin, TH‑immunohistochemical staining was performed. The results indicated that β‑catenin is required for the development or maintenance of these neurons; however, LRP5 and LRP6 were found to be dispensable. In 1‑methyl‑4‑phenyl‑1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)‑treated mice, the depletion of LRP5, LRP6 or β‑catenin was found to be protective for the midbrain DA neurons to a certain extent. These in vivo results provide a novel perspective for the function of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway in a mouse model of PD.
