Estrogen-related receptor gamma is a regulator of mitochondrial, autophagy, and immediate-early gene programs in spiny projection neurons: Relevance for transcriptional changes in... by Stephanie N. Fox, Cody H. Savage, Narcy R. Amireddy, Laura J. McMeekin, David K. Crossman, Peter J. Detloff, Michelle Gray, Rita M. Cowell

“…Further, overexpression of Esrrg in dopaminergic neurons reduces synuclein load in the pre-formed fibril model of synucleinopathy. For these reasons, we sought to understand ERRγ's role in transcriptional regulation in spiny projection neurons (SPNs), one of the neuronal populations vulnerable to transcriptional dysregulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and protein aggregation in HD. …”
