DJ-1, (PARK7), plays critical roles in astrogliosis by regulating of the pSTAT3 signaling pathway for tissue repair after brain injury 27 1. Repair of brain injury was attenuated in DJ-1 KO mice 27 2. DJ-1 deficiency causes a defect of astrogliosis . 30 3. Reduction of astrocyte derived GDNF expression and attenuated restoration of dopaminergic processes in the DJ-1 KO brain 41 4. DJ-1 rescued insufficient astrogliosis in DJ-1 KO brain slice cultures. 47 5. STAT3 activation (tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT3, pSTAT3) was attenuated in DJ- 1 KO slices 50 Part B. DJ-1 exerts the anti-inflammatory effects of astrocytes through stabilization of Sox9, a transcription factor that regulates lipocalin-type prostaglandin D2 synthase (L-PGDS) expression. 52 1. DJ-1 deficiency caused a defect of anti-inflammatory function of astrocytes. 52 2. DJ-1 deficiency caused a defect of PGD2 expression by attenuation of L-PGDS in astrocytes. 57 3. DJ-1 deficiency caused a defect of Sox9 protein expression by regulation of ubiquitination in astrocytes. 65 IV. DISCUSSION 73 V. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION. 85 REFERENCES. 86 국문요약 . 109 | - |
