主要研究背景及目的

方法

Based on the data from microscale thermophoresis, GST pull-down assays, and co-immunoprecipitation, we found that CN binds α-syn. Furthermore, this interaction is mediated by calcium/calmodulin (Ca2+/CaM) signaling. Additionally, thapsigargin (TG) triggered an increase in CN activity and α-syn aggregation in HEK293 cells stably transfected with α-syn.

结论

hese in vivo and in vitro studies have been complementary with each other, representing the changes in the CN-dependent pathway affected by overexpression of α-syn.

主要结果

Our previous study in vivo suggest that overexpression of α-syn in transgenic mice significantly promoted CN activity and subsequent nuclear translocation of nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) in the midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) neurons.
