Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To assess whether reduction of Skp1 will increase the vulnerability of dopaminergic neurons to genetic/environmental factors known to play a role in the pathological process of PD. METHODS: Short hairpin RNA lentiviruses infection of substantia nigra (SN)-derived cell-line (SN4741) and mice intranigral injection. RESULTS: We have knocked down the expression of SKP1A, an E3 ubiquitin ligase element, found...
