| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we investigated the role of extracellular poly(ADP-ribose) (EC-PAR) in the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative disorders. PAR is synthesized by PAR polymerase-1 (PARP-1) and released into the extracellular space during PARP-1-induced cell death. In vitro, treatment of rat astrocytes with EC-PAR increased the synthesis and release of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) but not other neurotrophic factors. In vivo, topical injection of EC-PAR into the striatum of a Parkinson disease rat model upregulated GDNF levels in activated astrocytes and improved pathogenic rotation behavior. Because GDNF is known to be neuroprotective in cases of Parkinson disease, administration of EC-PAR could potentially be used to treat this devastating disease.
