Background: Parkinson's disease is a hypokinetic disorder characterized by selective loss of dopaminergic in substantia nigra pars compacta (SNPc) region of mid-brain. Dopaminergic degeneration of neurons is considered to be due to oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, neurons mitochondrial dysfunction and glutamate excitotoxicity etc. Inosine a purine nucleoside has been reported to produce anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuromodulatory actions in previous studies.

Background: Mitochondria are organelles where energy production takes place via oxidative phosphorylation, thus mitochondrial function influences the organs with large energy consumption, such as the brain. Mitochondria contain their own circular genome (mtDNA), which encodes essential proteins/RNAs involved in oxidative phosphorylation. The maternal inheritance of mtDNA, combined with a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) observed in females, suggest mtDNA may have a role in AD.

Background: Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) feature progressive neurodegeneration in a remarkably regionally selective manner. Post mortem studies have posited a role for cell autonomous mechanisms driving this, so we aimed to examine a live human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) model to see whether it can replicate the phenomenon of selective neuronal vulnerability, so to better determine disease mechanisms and therapeutic targets.
Method: iPSC-derived neurons offer a rare opportunity to examine cell autonomous vulnerability in live human cells.
