Journal ArticleDOI

Chemoproteomics-Based Design of Potent LRRK2-Selective Lead Compounds That Attenuate Parkinson’s Disease-Related Toxicity in Human Neurons

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that CZC-25146 prevents mutant LRRK2-induced injury of cultured rodent and human neurons with mid-nanomolar potency, and this work employs a chemoproteomics strategy to identify potent, selective, and metabolically stable L RRK2 inhibitors.
Journal ArticleDOI

FKBP12, the 12-kDa FK506-binding protein, is a physiologic regulator of the cell cycle

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cells from FKBP12-deficient (FKBP12−/−) mice manifest cell cycle arrest in G1 phase and that these cells can be rescued by FK BP12 transfection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Apoptosis inducing factor and PARP-mediated injury in the MPTP mouse model of Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: Experimental findings regarding excitotoxicity, PARP activation, and AIF translocation in MPTP toxicity and dopaminergic neuronal cell death are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development and Characterization of a New Parkinson's Disease Model Resulting from Impaired Autophagy

TL;DR: Insight is provided into the process of autophagy in Parkinson's disease pathology by generating mice with the conditional deletion of Atg7 in the dopamine neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta, other regions of the midbrain, and also the hindbrain.
