Abstract:
Disclosed are improved cell-permeable Parkin recombinant proteins (iCP-Parkin) which have been developed as a protein-based anti-neurodegenerative agent for efficient BBB-penetration to effectively deliver the recombinant protein into the brain. A Parkin protein, a dopaminergic neuronal cell death inhibitor, has been fused with a newly developed advanced macromolecule transduction domain (aMTD) and preferably with a solubilization domain (SD) to increase the solubility/yield and cell-/tissue-permeability of the recombinant protein. In addition, the aMTD/SD-fused recombinant iCP-Parkin protein has shown BBB-permeability. Both in vitro and in vivo, the iCP-Parkin recombinant protein improved motor skills, a typical phenotype of Parkinson's disease, by increasing dopamine level in the brain by suppressing apoptosis of dopaminergic neuron cells. It also can be applicable as a protein-based anti-neurodegenerative agent to treat Parkinson's disease by protecting dopaminergic neuron cells and regulating the secretion of dopamine.
