| Gene Symbol | ent-gene-304eb5d4 |
| Alpha-synuclein aggregates | Oligomeric and fibrillar α-synuclein are recognized by microglial pattern recognition receptors, triggering NLRP3 activation |
| Mitochondrial dysfunction | PD-associated genes (PINK1, Parkin, LRRK2) impair mitochondrial quality control, leading to ROS release and inflammasome activation |
| Oxidative stress | Elevated reactive oxygen species in the substantia nigra activate NLRP3 |
| DAMPs released from dying neurons | ATP, mtDNA, and other danger signals from damaged dopaminergic neurons provide activation signals |
| Combination approaches | NLRP3 inhibitors with dopaminergic drugs |
| Biomarker-driven patient selection | Identifying patients with elevated inflammasome activity |
| Early intervention | Targeting prodromal or early-stage PD |
