Attenuation of MPTP-induced neurotoxicity and locomotor dysfunction in Nucling-deficient mice via suppression of the apoptosome pathway.

Abstract excerpt

1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced neurotoxicity is one of the experimental models most commonly used to study the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Although the biochemical mechanisms underlying the cell death induced by MPTP remain to be clarified, it has been found that the mitochondrial apoptotic signaling pathway plays an important role in the neurotoxicity of MPTP. Nucling...
