Using cDNA microarray to assess Parkinson's disease models and the effects of neuroprotective drugs

Silvia Mandel et al. Trends Pharmacol Sci. 2003 Apr.

Abstract

The remarkable progress made by molecular biology and molecular genetics during the past decade, and the advent of the novel tools of genomics and proteomics, are expected to reveal differential expression profiles of thousands of genes and proteins involved in the degeneration of dopamine-containing cells in Parkinson's disease and allow more focused treatments according to individual genotypes. Of particular interest is the application of microarrays in drug discovery and design to identify 'fingerprints' as potential candidate targets for drug intervention. The major microarray findings relevant to Parkinson's disease and its neurotoxin-induced animal and cell models will be discussed, with particular reference to the neuroprotective therapeutic potential that could arise from the development of drugs 'a la carte'.
