In Vivo RNAi-Mediated α-Synuclein Silencing Induces Nigrostriatal Degeneration
15 Jun 2010
Abstract excerpt
Two small-interfering RNAs (siRNAs) targeting alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn) and three control siRNAs were cloned in an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector and unilaterally injected into rat substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc). Reduction of alpha-syn resulted in a rapid (4 week) reduction in the number of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) positive cells and striatal dopamine (DA) on the injected side. The level of...
