Dexamethasone induces the expression of LRRK2 and α-synuclein, two genes that when mutated cause Parkinson’s disease in an autosomal dominant manner
LRRK2 (leucine-rich repeat kinase 2) has been identified as agene corresponding to PARK8, an autosomal-dominant genefor familial Parkinson’s disease (PD). LRRK2 pathogenicspecificmutants induce neurotoxicity and shorten neurites. Toelucidate the mechanism underlying LRRK2 expression, weconstructed t...
