1 Dopamine neurons from transgenic mice with a knockout of the p53 gene resist MPTP neurotoxicity. Dopamine transformation related protein 53, pseudogene Mus musculus
2 MPTP at a total dose of 96 mg/kg administered in four doses over two days produced a non-homogeneous loss of striatal dopamine transport sites and quantitatively reduced 3H-mazindol binding to similar degrees in p53-/- and wild type controls 2 and 3 weeks after starting MPTP. 1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine transformation related protein 53, pseudogene Mus musculus
3 We conclude that p53 protein appears necessary for complete expression of MPTP neurotoxicity to dopamine neurons. 1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine transformation related protein 53, pseudogene Mus musculus
4 We conclude that p53 protein appears necessary for complete expression of MPTP neurotoxicity to dopamine neurons. Dopamine transformation related protein 53, pseudogene Mus musculus
5 Our findings suggest that the p53 gene and other growth control genes may regulate dopamine neuronal death in PD. Dopamine transformation related protein 53, pseudogene Mus musculus
