Protection Against Oxidative Stress-Induced Neurodegeneration by a Modulator for DJ-1, the Wild-Type of Familial Parkinson’s Disease-Linked PARK7
1 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
Although a loss-of-function type mutation was identified in familial Parkinson's disease PARK7, the wild-type of DJ-1 is known to act as an oxidative stress sensor in neuronal cells. Recently, we found a DJ-1 modulator UCP0054278 by in silico virtual screening. In this study, we determined the neuroprotective effects of UCP0054278 against focal ischemia-induced neurodegeneration in rats. Hydrogen peroxide-induced...
