Inhibition of miR-543-3p can rescue the expression and function of GLT-1 and relieve dyskinesia in the PD model, which suggests that inhibition of miR-543-3p could serve as a potential therapeutic target for PD.
Our recent study also revealed that ginsenoside Rb1 ameliorates motor deficits and prevents DA neuron death via upregulating glutamate transporter GLT-1 in the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) mouse model of PD.
Our results suggested SLC1A2rs3794087 may decrease the risk for PD in a Chinese cohort, but do not support a role in the susceptibility to SALS or MSA.
