Accumulation of α-synuclein/NACP is a cytopathological feature common to Lewy body disease and multiple system atrophy
Abstract
Recently, we have shown that the precursor of the non-Abeta component of Alzheimer's disease amyloid (NACP), also known as alpha-synuclein, is a major component of Lewy bodies (LBs) as well as neuronal and glial cytoplasmic inclusions in multiple system atrophy (MSA). To elucidate whether the accumulation of NACP is specific to LB disease and MSA, we further studied 83 autopsied cases with various neurological disorders, using anti-NACP antibodies. In LB disease, NACP immunoreactivity was present in all of the LBs and Lewy neurites in both the central and peripheral nervous systems, the pale bodies in the substantia nigra, and dystrophic neurites in the hippocampal CA2/3 region. Immunoelectron microscopy revealed that the reaction product was localized within filamentous structures and associated granular structures. In MSA, NACP immunoreactivity was found in the intracytoplasmic inclusions of both neuronal and oligodendroglial cells, neuronal intranuclear inclusions, and swollen neuronal processes. No NACP immunoreactivity was found in a variety of other neuronal or glial inclusions in other disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Pick's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration, motor neuron disease and triplet-repeat diseases. These findings strongly suggest that the accumulation of NACP is a cytopathological feature common to LB disease and MSA.

“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.
