RGS10 attenuates systemic immune dysregulation induced by chronic inflammatory stress by Janna E. Jernigan, Hannah A. Staley, Zachary Baty, MacKenzie L. Bolen, Beatriz Nuñes Gomes, Jenny Holt, Cassandra L. Cole, Noelle K. Neighbarger, Kruthika Dheeravath, Andrea R. Merchak, Kelly B. Menees, Stephen A. Coombes, Malú Gámez Tansey

“…We found that RGS10 deficiency synergizes with CSI to induce a bias for inflammatory and cytotoxic cell populations, a reduction in antigen presentation machinery in peripheral blood immune cells, as well as in and around the brain that is most notable in males. These results highlight RGS10 as an important regulator of the systemic immune response to CSI and implicate RGS10 as a potential contributor to the development of immune dysregulation in PD.…”
