In the present study, N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 2B (NR2B)-specific siRNA was applied in parkinsonian models. Our previous results showed that reduction in expression of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 1 (NR1), the key subunit of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors, by antisense oligos ameliorated the motor symptoms in the 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-lesioned rat, an animal model of Parkinson's disease (PD).
在本研究中,N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸受体2B(NR2B)特异性小干扰RNA(siRNA)被应用于帕金森病模型。我们之前的研究结果表明,通过反义寡核苷酸降低N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸受体的关键亚基N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸受体1(NR1)的表达,可改善6-羟基多巴胺(6-OHDA)损伤大鼠(一种帕金森病(PD)动物模型)的运动症状。
