Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 positively regulates inflammation and down-regulates NF-κB p50 signaling in cultured microglia cells
... LRRK2 has been linked to several pathways in neuronal cells, including vesicular trafficking [9, 10], cytoskeletal dynamics [11–13], mitochondrial functions [14, 15], apoptosis [16], and autophagy process [17, 18]. ...

Vacuolar protein sorting 35 (Vps35) rescues locomotor deficits and shortened lifespan in Drosophila expressing a Parkinson’s disease mutant of Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2)
... To help dissect the molecular processes involved in PD pathology, we recently generated a Drosophila overex- pressing human LRRK2 with a PD pathogenic I2020T mutation within the kinase domain [13]. This transgenic ...
