title: Effect of hyperhomocysteinemia on the protein kinase DYRK1A in liver of mice.
abstract: Hyperhomocysteinemia due to cystathionine beta synthase (CBS)-deficiency confers diverse clinical manifestations, notably liver diseases. Even if hyperhomocysteinemia in liver of CBS-deficient mice, a murine model of hyperhomocysteinemia, promotes mitochondrial oxidative stress and pro-apoptotic signals, protective signals may counteract these pro-apoptotic signals, leading to chronic inflammation. As DYRK1A, a serine/threonine kinase, has been described as a candidate antiapoptotic factor, we have analyzed the expression of DYRK1A in liver of CBS-deficient mice. We found that DYRK1A protein level was reduced in liver of CBS-deficient mice, which was not observed at the gene expression level. Moreover, the use of primary hepatocytes/Kupffer cells co-culture showed that degradation of DYRK1A induced by hyperhomocysteinemia requires calpain activation. Our results demonstrate a deleterious effect of hyperhomocysteinemia on DYRK1A protein expression, and emphasize the role of hyperhomocysteinemia on calpain activation.
