IGF-1 stimulation via GSK-3β and screening for genes conferring protection of SHEP-1 cells against MPP+ toxicity
1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+) causes Parkinsonism and has been widely used in experimental models of Parkinson’s disease. MPP+ was used to induce apoptosis in human dopaminergic neural SHEP-1 cells in order to identify and characterise genes that may protect against MPP+ toxicity. In this stud...
