Blood RNA biomarkers in prodromal PARK4 and rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder show role of complexin 1 loss for risk of Parkinson's disease

open access: yesDisease Models & Mechanisms, 2017
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a frequent neurodegenerative process in old age. Accumulation and aggregation of the lipid-binding SNARE complex component α-synuclein (SNCA) underlies this vulnerability and defines stages of disease progression. Determinants

Pathogenic or Likely Pathogenic GRN Variants Are Found in 0.1% of Parkinson's Disease Patients

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Parkinsonism may be observed in multiple neurodegenerative diseases, including GRN‐associated frontotemporal dementia (FTD‐GRN), complicating the differential diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Objectives To investigate the presence of GRN variants in a large group of PD patients.

Snca and Bdnf gene expression in the VTA and raphe nuclei of midbrain in chronically victorious and defeated male mice. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: Alpha-synuclein (α-Syn) is a small neuronal protein that has been found to be expressed throughout the brain. It has been shown that α-Syn regulates the homeostasis of monoamine neurotransmitters and is involved in various degenerative and ...

Uncovering the Complexity of Synucleinopathies: An Ongoing Tale Between Proteins and Lipids

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Neurodegenerative diseases are pathological states characterized by progressive alterations in brain homeostasis during aging. Synucleinopathies, including Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, are defined neuropathologically by the accumulation of inclusions known as Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites.

Normalization of Overexpressed α-Synuclein Causing Parkinson's Disease By a Moderate Gene Silencing With RNA Interference

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2015
The α-synuclein (SNCA) gene is a responsible gene for Parkinson's disease (PD); and not only nucleotide variations but also overexpression of SNCA appears to be involved in the pathogenesis of PD.

Higher vulnerability and stress sensitivity of neuronal precursor cells carrying an alpha-synuclein gene triplication. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Parkinson disease (PD) is a multi-factorial neurodegenerative disorder with loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and characteristic intracellular inclusions, called Lewy bodies.

Genome‐Wide Assessment Reveals Ancestral Differences in Homozygosity Patterns Potentially Linked to Parkinson's Disease Etiology

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Recessive genetic variation and extended runs of homozygosity (ROHs) may contribute to the unexplained heritability of Parkinson's disease (PD), particularly in diverse and understudied populations. Objective We conducted the first large‐scale, multi‐ancestral investigation of PD to examine the impact of genome‐wide homozygosity on ...

Beta2-adrenoreceptor agonist clenbuterol produces transient decreases in alpha-synuclein mRNA but no long-term reduction in protein

open access: yesnpj Parkinson's Disease, 2022
β2-adrenoreceptor (β2AR) agonists have been associated with a decreased risk of developing Parkinson’s disease (PD) and are hypothesized to decrease expression of both alpha-synuclein mRNA (Snca) and protein (α-syn).

Accelerating Medicines Partnership® Parkinson's Disease Proteomics: A Comprehensive Resource for Advancing Parkinson's Disease Research

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Recent advances in proteomic profiling have enabled its use as a powerful approach in elucidating molecular mechanisms underlying Parkinson's disease, enabling the identification of disease‐associated protein alterations and candidate biomarkers for diagnosis, progression, and therapeutic response.

Loss of prostatic acid phosphatase and α-synuclein cause motor circuit degeneration without altering cerebellar patterning.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP), which is secreted by prostate, increases in some diseases such as prostate cancer. PAP is also present in the central nervous system. In this study we reveal that α-synuclein (Snca) gene is co-deleted/mutated in PAP null
