S100B is increased in Parkinson’s disease and ablation protects against MPTP-induced toxicity through the RAGE and TNF-α pathway
Open accessAbstract
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that can, at least partly, be mimicked by the neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine. S100B is a calcium-binding protein expressed in, and secreted by, astrocytes. There is increasing evidence that S100B acts as a cytokine or damage-associated molecular pattern protein not only in inflammatory but also in neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, we show that S100B protein levels were higher in post-mortem substantia nigra of patients with Parkinson's disease compared with control tissue, and cerebrospinal fluid S100B levels were higher in a large cohort of patients with Parkinson's disease compared with controls. Correspondingly, mice treated with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine showed upregulated S100B messenger RNA and protein levels. In turn, ablation of S100B resulted in neuroprotection, reduced microgliosis and reduced expression of both the receptor for advanced glycation endproducts and tumour necrosis factor-α. Our results demonstrate a role of S100B in the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease. Targeting S100B may emerge as a potential treatment strategy in this disorder.

In vitro and in vivo studies revealed that silencing of HMGB1 or S100B reduced neuroinflammation and attenuated neurodegenerative diseases.

From Role of neuroinflammation in neurodegeneration development (2023) · cites this paper as [337]
The Results sections on MPTP toxicity and microgliosis report that S100B knockout mice had less neuronal loss and a reduced microglial response after MPTP treatment. The claim goes further than this source: its in vitro experiment blocked RAGE rather than silencing S100B, and it does not establish that silencing S100B attenuates neurodegenerative diseases generally. This verdict concerns the S100B portion of the sentence, not HMGB1, which may be covered by the other citation. (LLM, conf=0.87)

From Role of neuroinflammation in neurodegeneration development (2023) · cites this paper as [337]
The Discussion (page not available) reports that RAGE ablation had a neuroprotective effect in an MPTP model of Parkinson’s disease. It does not specify improved dopaminergic-neuron survival for RAGE-deficient mice; the Results report that outcome for S100B-deficient mice instead. (LLM, conf=0.83)

“First, S100B ablation yielded only incomplete protection, as it did not lead to an attenuation of COX-2 and inducible nitric oxide synthase in vivo, both of which have been shown to be contributors to cell death in the MPTP model (Liberatore et al., 1999; Teismann et al., 2003).”

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.
