IGF-1 signaling can reduce the neuro-inflammation-dependent sensitivity of neurons to MPTP.
[58]Tseng et al., 2019Primary mesencephalic neuronal cultures treated with MPTPPhysiological IGF-1 measuresThe production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was determined by H2DCF-DA staining, and the fluorescence of the product dichlorofluorescein (DCF) was analyzed by the Coulter CyFlow Cytometer.Loganin protects neurons against MPP+-induced apoptotic death, neurite damage, and oxidative stress, and activations of IGF-1R and GLP-1R play important roles in the neuroprotective effects of loganin.

IGF-1 can protect the nigrostriatal pathway in a progressive PD model and that protection is preceded by activation of key pro-survival signaling cascades.

Up-regulation of IGF-1 mitigated restored miR-185-mediated effects on PD rats.
