Importantly, we observed a similar exacerbation in rotenone- induced cell death in mouse primary cortical neurons that were co-treated with either GSK264220A or a CD36 inhibitor (SSO 10 μM for 16 h), indicating a potential role of LPL and its partner CD36 in PD-relevant neuronal death (Fig. 6D and E). The gene discussed is CD36; the disease is Parkinson disease.
