At the cellular level, postmortem tissues from sporadic patients with PD displayed an increased expression of senescent markers, including p16INK4a, and several senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factors, matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1a, and IL-8 [40]. The gene discussed is MMP3; the disease is Parkinson disease.
