Molecular Pathology of Lewy Body Diseases
Lewy body diseases are characterized by the presence of Lewy bodies, alpha-synuclein(AS)-positive inclusions in the brain. Since their main component is conformationally modified AS, aggregation of the latter is thought to be a key pathogenic event in these diseases. The analysis of inclusion body constituents gives additional information about pathways also involved in the pathology of synucle...
متن کاملInverse relationship between cerebrovascular lesions and severity of lewy body pathology in patients with lewy body diseases.
Cerebrovascular pathology is a major cause of stroke and mortality. Studies on prevalence of cerebrovascular pathologies in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLBs) and Parkinson disease (PD) patients are scarce and contradictory. We aimed to determine the prevalence and severity of cerebrovascular pathologies in DLB and PD and to analyze their relationship to LB pathology. The prevalence and severity ...
متن کاملLewy body pathology involves cutaneous nerves.
Involvement of the peripheral autonomic nervous system is a core feature of Lewy body (LB) diseases, including Parkinson disease (PD), PD with dementia, and dementia with LBs. To investigate the potential use of skin biopsy for the diagnosis of LB diseases, we assessed anti-phosphorylated alpha-synuclein immunoreactivity in peripheral nerves in samples of skin from the abdominal wall and flexor...
متن کاملLewy body pathology in normal elderly subjects.
Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites are the hallmark neuropathologic findings in Parkinson disease, Parkinson disease with dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, and other alpha-synucleinopathies. They have also been described in the brains of normal older individuals and referred to as incidental Lewy body disease. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of Lewy bodies and Lewy neuri...
متن کاملDysregulation of 14‐3‐3 proteins in neurodegenerative diseases with Lewy body or Alzheimer pathology
OBJECTIVE The highly conserved 14-3-3 proteins interact with key players involved in Parkinson's disease (PD) and other neurodegenerative disorders. We recently demonstrated that 14-3-3 phosphorylation is increased in PD models and that increased 14-3-3 phosphorylation reduces the neuroprotective effects of 14-3-3 proteins. Here, we investigated whether 14-3-3 phosphorylation is altered in post...
