Accumulation of NACP/alpha-synuclein in lewy body disease and multiple system atrophy.
OBJECTIVES NACP/alpha-synuclein is an aetiological gene product in familial Parkinson's disease. To clarify the pathological role of NACP/alpha-synuclein in sporadic Parkinson's disease and other related disorders including diffuse Lewy body disease (DLBD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA), paraffin sections were examined immunocytochemically using anti-NACP/alpha-synuclein antibodies. METHOD...
متن کاملAlpha-synuclein induced apoptosis and proliferation interacted with CD44 in human lymphocytes
Human ?-synuclein is a 140 amino acid protein with little or no secondary structure. The ?-synuclein is expressed at high levels in the brain and enriched in neural synaptic terminals but its physiological function remains largely unknown. More recently, ?-synuclein has been shown to be one of the principal componets of Lewy bodies, neuronal inclusions that are found in diverse human neurodegen...

متن کاملFBXO7 immunoreactivity in α-synuclein-containing inclusions in Parkinson disease and multiple system atrophy.
Mutations in the gene encoding the F-box only protein 7 (FBXO7) cause PARK15, an autosomal recessive form of juvenile parkinsonism. Although the brain pathology in PARK15 patients remains unexplored, in vivo imaging displays severe loss of nigrostriatal dopaminergic terminals. Understanding the pathogenesis of PARK15 might therefore illuminate the mechanisms of the selective dopaminergic neuron...
متن کاملPhosphorylated Smad 2/3 Colocalizes With Phospho-tau Inclusions in Pick Disease, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, and Corticobasal Degeneration but Not With >-Synuclein Inclusions in Multiple System Atrophy or Dementia With Lewy Bodies
Impaired transduction of transforming growth factor-A signaling has recently been implicated in Alzheimer disease. Transforming growth factor-A signals are transduced by Smads, which are phosphorylated and translocated to the nucleus, where they initiate gene transcription. In Alzheimer disease, neurofibrillary tangles sequester phosphorylated Smad 2/3 (pSmad2/3) and reduce its nuclear transloc...
