Enteric alpha‐synuclein expression is increased in P arkinson's disease but not A lzheimer's disease
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Alpha-synuclein (α-Syn) is immunohistochemically detectable in enteric neurons in some subjects. We determined its age distribution in the general autopsy population and in an age-matched subset investigated differences with Parkinson's (PD) and Alzheimer's diseases (AD). METHODS: Archival autopsy samples of colon from 95 cases (77 general population, 10 PD, and 8 AD) were immunostained with monoclonal antibody KM51. α-Syn detectability was semiquantitatively graded 1 to 3. RESULTS: α-Syn was detectable in 52% of the general population, and its level of expression did not change between ages 40 and 91. All PD subjects were α-Syn positive, with higher prevalence (P = 0.001) and grade (P = 0.003) than age-matched controls. AD subjects were no more likely to be α-Syn positive or have a higher grade than controls. CONCLUSIONS: Either PD develops selectively in the enterically α-Syn-positive population subset or PD induces this expression. Absence of increased α-Syn expression in AD points to differences in pathogenesis.

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.
