STING mediates neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation in nigrostriatal α-synucleinopathy

TL;DR: The results suggest that STING inhibition may be therapeutic in idiopathic PD and possibly other human α-synucleinopathies, and it is shown that αSyn aggregates can increase STING expression and augment canonical STING activation, suggesting a possible generalized propensity for exaggerated antiviral responses in neurological states with STING elevation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spatial and functional relationship between poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 and poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase in the brain

TL;DR: The subcellular segregation of PARG in the mitochondria and PARP-1 in the nucleus suggests that PARG translocation is necessary for their functional interaction, further demonstrating a functional interaction of PARp-1 and PARg in the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Circadian Locomotor Analysis of Male Mice Lacking the Gene for Neuronal Nitric Oxide Synthase (nNOS

TL;DR: Findings suggest that NO from neurons might not be necessary for photic entrainment of circadian rhythms, as compared to general NOS inhibitors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Advances in Neuronal Cell Death 2007

TL;DR: Combined, the current data indicate that PAR is a powerful death signal and Regulation of PAR signaling may be a useful therapeutic intervention to reduce stroke-mediated damage.
