Description
Analysis for genetic screening and metabolomics identify glial adenosine metabolism as a therapeutic target in Parkinson’s disease This project contains the analysis of metabolite abundance measurements obtained with four different liquid chromatography mass spectrometry methods of synuclein expressing or control or fly brains in a wilde type or Adk1 knockout background.

Genetic screening and metabolomics identify glial adenosine metabolism as a therapeutic target in Parkinson’s disease

A Drosophila model identified glial-based therapeutic targets for PD, focusing on adenosine metabolism genes. Knocking down Ak1 improved symptoms and increased adenosine levels, suggesting adenosine as a potential therapeutic target for PD.

Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by α-synuclein aggregation and loss of dopamine neurons. Risk of PD arises due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors, which may interact, termed gene-environment (G×E)…
