Abstract

Type‐1 interferons (IFNs) are pleiotropic cytokines with a critical role in the initiation and regulation of the pro‐inflammatory response. However, the contribution of the type‐1 IFNs to CNS disorders, specifically chronic neuropathologies such as Parkinson's disease is still unknown. Here, we report increased type‐1 IFN signaling in both post mortem human Parkinson's disease samples and in the 1‐methyl‐4‐phenyl‐1, 2, 3, 6‐tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) mouse model. In response to MPTP, mice lacking the type‐1 IFN receptor (IFNAR1−/−) displayed decreased type‐1 IFN signaling, an attenuated pro‐inflammatory response and reduced loss of dopaminergic neurons. The neuroprotective potential of targeting the type‐1 IFN pathway was confirmed by reduced neuroinflammation and DA cell death in mice treated with a blocking monoclonal IFNAR1 (MAR‐1) antibody. The MPTP/MAR‐1 treated mice also displayed increased striatal dopamine levels and improved behavioural outcomes compared to their MPTP/IgG controls. These data, implicate for the first time, a deleterious role for the type‐1 IFNs as key modulators of the early neuroinflammatory response and therefore the neuronal cell death in Parkinson's disease.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
