Article Abstract
Huntingtin interaction protein 2 (HIP2) is an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme associated with neurodegenerative diseases, and HIP2 mRNA has been implicated as a potential blood biomarker for Parkinson's disease (PD). However, it is unclear whether the alteration of HIP2 expression may contribute to the development of PD, and whether the change of HIP2 in blood could reflect its expression in the brain or motor functions in PD patients. In this study, we established a mouse line with HIP2 haploinsufficiency. The reduction of the HIP2 expression led to spontaneous motor function impairment and dopaminergic neuronal loss. Furthermore, HIP2 haploinsufficiency increased the susceptibility of mice to 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) and caused severe loss of dopaminergic neurons. Interestingly, in a 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) mouse model for PD, we observed concurrent, highly correlated decrease of HIP2 expression in the brain and in the blood. Using blood samples from more than 300 patients, we validated the decreased HIP2 mRNA in PD patients, including de novo patients. Finally, in a 1-year, 20-patient study, we observed reversed blood HIP2 mRNA levels accompanying improved motor and overall daily functions in 75% of the PD patients with instructed Tai Chi training. Therefore, our in vivo studies have indicated HIP2 insufficiency as a contributing factor for PD, and functionally validated blood HIP2 as a useful and reversible biomarker for PD.

This study aimed to explore how gene functional silencing influences the spatial and temporal expression patterns of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1), fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2), receptor-interacting protein kinase 5 (RIP5), and huntingtin-interacting protein 2 (HIP2) in the developing and postnatal kidneys of the mice as potential determinants of normal kidney formation and function. animal kidneys exhibit diminished FGFR1/FGFR2 expression in all examined developmental stages, whereas RIP5 cell immunoreactivity demonstrated negligible variation. The HIP2 expression revealed a discernible difference during the postnatal period, where we noted a significant decrease in almost all the observed kidney structures of animals.

Mutations in superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) leading to the formation of intracellular protein aggregates cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a fatal neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a selective degeneration of motor neurons. The ALS-linked mutant SOD1 emerged as a possible target for ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS)-mediated degradation. We aimed to elucidate the role of huntingtin interaction protein 2 (HIP2), an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme, in the proteotoxicity of mutant SOD1 aggregates.

Background: Hip2, a ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme, has been shown to modulate the stability of cyclin B1, a cell cycle regulator. However, the function of Hip2 in gastric cancer (GC) remains largely elusive.
Methods: The expression of Hip2 in GC cell lines was analyzed by RT-qPCR, Western Blotting and Immunohistochemical Staining.

Aim: Present study analyses the co-localisation of RIP5 with FGFR1, FGFR2 and HIP2 in the developing kidney, as RIP5 is a major determinant of urinary tract development, downstream of FGF-signaling.
Methods: Paraffin embedded human kidney tissues of 16 conceptuses between the 6th-22th developmental week were analysed using double-immunofluorescence method with RIP5/FGFR1/FGFR2 and HIP2 markers. Quantification of positive cells were performed using Kruskal-Wallis test.
