Long-term exposure to PM2.5 exacerbates dopaminergic neuronal loss through CpG hypermethylation induced down-regulation of PINK1 and DJ-1 genes

Abstract To investigate whether airborne particle (PM2.5) aggravates Parkinson’s disease (PD) and alter expression of key PD-related genes by DNA methylation. Two groups of rats were exposed to either clean air or polluted air for 3, 6, and 12 months. The neurotoxin rotenone was injected intraperito...
