Parkinson's disease-related protein, alpha-synuclein, in malignant melanoma. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
Melanoma is the major cause of skin cancer death worldwide. Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that is caused by mutation of alpha-synuclein or other genes. Importantly, epidemiological studies have reported co-occurrence of melanoma and

Synaptic Changes in Mice Lacking Alpha- and Gamma-Synucleins

open access: yesBiomedicines
Background: Alpha-synuclein is a key protein involved in the pathogenesis of Parkinson disease (PD). Its intermediate aggregated forms disturb the normal function of dopaminergic (DA) neurons.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease

open access: yesУчёные записки Санкт-Петербургского государственного медицинского университета им. Акад. И.П. Павлова, 2015
Metabolic impairment of alpha-synuclein protein is considered to be the central event in PDpathogenesis. Recent studies explored usage of alpha-synuclein in peripheral fluids as a biomarker of PD, however alpha-synuclein level in the CSF and plasma is ...

Associations of sleep characteristics with alpha‐synuclein in cerebrospinal fluid in older adults

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2020
Objective Sleep disorders as a preclinical symptom of synucleinopathies become more prevalent in older adults. Synucleinopathies might be caused by the abnormal aggregation of alpha‐synuclein in the brain, which was indicated by alpha‐synuclein levels in

Functional and neuropathological changes induced by injection of distinct alpha-synuclein strains: A pilot study in non-human primates

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2023
The role of alpha-synuclein in Parkinson's disease has been heavily investigated since its discovery as a component of Lewy bodies. Recent rodent data demonstrate that alpha-synuclein strain structure is critical for differential propagation and toxicity.

Transcriptional regulation of the beta-synuclein 5'-promoter metal response element by metal transcription factor-1.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
The progression of many human neurodegenerative disorders is associated with an accumulation of alpha-synuclein. Alpha-synuclein belongs to the homologous synuclein family, which includes beta-synuclein.

Rational design of structure‐based vaccines targeting misfolded alpha‐synuclein conformers of Parkinson's disease and related disorders

open access: yesBioengineering & Translational Medicine
Synucleinopathies, including Parkinson's disease (PD), multiple system atrophy (MSA), and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), are neurodegenerative disorders caused by the accumulation of misfolded alpha‐synuclein protein.

Association between Serum Alpha-Synuclein Levels and Parkinson's Disease Stage

open access: yesGlobal Medical & Health Communication, 2022
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's. It is chronically progressive with the main symptoms of resting tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural disturbances.

Evaluation of Stp2p-dependent alpha-Synuclein Toxicity in Yeast: Role of GAPDH? [PDF]

open access: yesImpulse: The Premier Undergraduate Neuroscience Journal, 2006
Parkinson's disease (PD) is linked to alpha-synuclein misfolding and aggregation in the substantia nigra par compacta cells of the brain. Discovering and characterizing factors that regulate alpha-synuclein misfolding and toxicity have high therapeutic ...

Aggregated Alpha-Synuclein Transfer Efficiently between Cultured Human Neuron-Like Cells and Localize to Lysosomes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Parkinson's disease and other alpha-synucleinopathies are progressive neurodegenerative diseases characterized by aggregates of misfolded alpha-synuclein spreading throughout the brain. Recent evidence suggests that the pathological progression is likely
