RAGE and Parkinson's disease (PD) are closely associated, but it remains unclear whether the HMGB1/RAGE/NF-κB signaling pathway contributes to the pathophysiology of PD.<h4>Methods</h4>PD was induced by administration of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), while RAGE was inhibited using an inhibitor, FPS-ZM1. The gene discussed is NFKB1; the disease is Parkinson disease.
