“…MPTP-mediated toxicity is induced by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-2,3-dihydropyridiumion (MPP + ), which was converted by monoamine oxidase B in astrocytes [20]. Recently, many studies showed that damaged substantianigra striatum regions had T, B lymphocyte cell infiltration in PD, and damaged regions had high levels of inflammatory factor, tumour necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-1, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6 and some chemokines [21,22,23,24]. Further studies found the peripheral T-cells pool had been changed, specifically that CD4 + T cells had been decreased in PD [12,14,25].…”
