1-Methy-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) is a potent neurotoxin extensively used to model Parkinson's disease (PD). A cascade of deleterous events, in which mitochondria play a pivotal role, drives MPTP neurotoxicity. How mitochondria are affected by MPTP and how their defect contributes to the demise of dopaminergic neurons in this model of PD are discussed in this review.
1-甲基-4-苯基-1,2,3,6-四氢吡啶(MPTP)是一种强效神经毒素,被广泛用于帕金森病(PD)模型的研究。一系列有害事件导致了MPTP的神经毒性,其中线粒体起着关键作用。本综述讨论了在该PD模型中,线粒体如何受到MPTP的影响,以及其缺陷如何导致多巴胺能神经元的死亡。
