Glial cytoplasmic inclusions in white matter oligodendrocytes of multiple system atrophy brains contain insoluble α‐synuclein
Abstract
Recently, α‐synuclein was shown to be a structural component of the filaments in Lewy bodies (LBs) of Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia with LBs (DLB) as well as the LB variant of Alzheimer's disease, and this suggests that α‐synuclein could play a mechanistic role in the pathogenesis of these disorders. To determine whether α‐synuclein is a building block of inclusions in other neurodegenerative movement disorders, we examined brains from patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA) and detected α‐synuclein, but not β‐ or γ‐synuclein, in glial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCIs) throughout the MSA brain. In MSA white matter, α‐synuclein–positive GCIs were restricted to oligodendrocytes, and α‐synuclein accumulated selectively in MSA white matter with α‐synuclein–positive GCIs. Taken together with evidence that LBs contain insoluble α‐synuclein, our data suggest that a reduction in the solubility of α‐synuclein may induce this protein to form filaments that aggregate into cytoplasmic inclusions, which contribute to the dysfunction or death of glial cells as well as neurons in neurodegenerative disorders with different phenotypes.

“MSA is a synucleinopathy, however, unlike PD and dementia with Lewy bodies, in which α-syn accumulates and aggregates in neurons, MSA is characterized neuropathologically by α-syn-positive glial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCIs) in oligodendroglia [1, 42, 54, 58, 59].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
