Abstract excerpt
Human wild type (WT) and mutant alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn) genes were overexpressed using a Tet-on expression system in stably transfected dopaminergic MN9D cells. Their overexpression induced caspase-independent and dopamine-related apoptosis not rescued by general caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK....
