Abstract

Alpha-synuclein containing cellular inclusions are a hallmark of Parkinson Disease, Lewy Body Dementia, and Multiple System Atrophy. A genome wide expression screen was performed in C. elegans overexpressing both wild-type and A53T human alpha-synuclein. 433 genes were up- and 67 genes down-regulated by statistical and fold change (> or <2) criteria. Gene ontology (GO) categories within the regulated gene lists indicated over-representation of development and reproduction, mitochondria, catalytic activity, and histone groups. Seven genes (pdr-1, ubc-7, pas-5, pas-7, pbs-4, RPT2, PSMD9) with function in the ubiquitin-proteasome system and 35 mitochondrial function genes were up-regulated. Nine genes that form histones H1, H2B, and H4 were down-regulated. These results demonstrate the effects of alpha-synuclein on proteasome and mitochondrial complex gene expression and provide further support for the role of these complexes in mediating neurotoxicity. The results also indicate an effect on nuclear protein genes that suggests a potential new avenue for investigation.

Alpha-Synuclein Aggregation (MDS)

Alpha-synucleins are small proteins that are believed to restrict the mobility of synpatic vesicles and inhibit neurotransmitter release. Aggregation of these proteins have been linked to several types of neurodegenerative diseases including dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson's disease. Here is the latest research on α-synuclein aggregation.
