Balance of autophagy and apoptosis by increasing Active Caspase 3 phosphorylation in MPTP Induced Parkinson disease models

Jiam Liau, Wein Liau, Yonguani Liu, Han Tiaum, more

234-250

Parkinson disease is the second common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer disease and is caused by genetics, environmental factors and aging, with few treatments currently available. Apoptosis and macroautophagy/autophagy play critical roles in PD pathogenesis; as such, modulating their balance is a potential treatment strategy. Active Caspase 3 is a key molecule regulating this balance.
