The Role of NADPH Oxidase1 (NOX1) in the Colon in Rotenone-Induced A-Synuclein Pathology Propagation Along the Gut-Brain Axis
Abstract
The proposed study will investigate how Nox1-derived ROS contributes to early-stage alpha-SYN aggregation in the gut using a cell-to-cell alpha-SYN propagation assay and gut cell-specificNox1 deleted mice model. We will also test a potent and selective Nox1 inhibitor, ML171, in our gut-brain PD model. Successful completion of the project will elucidate the molecular mechanisms underpinning how alpha-SYN aggregation is initiated in the gut and to what extent Nox1 plays a role in this Mprocess. Moreover, the proposed study could identify a specific Nox1 inhibitor as a novel therapeutic intervention to prevent gut-driven PD development.
