The solubility of α‐synuclein in multiple system atrophy differs from that of dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson's disease
Abstract
Intracellular inclusions containing α‐synuclein (αSN) are pathognomonic features of several neurodegenerative disorders. Inclusions occur in oligodendrocytes in multiple system atrophy (MSA) and in neurons in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Parkinson's disease (PD). In order to identify disease‐associated changes of αSN, this study compared the levels, solubility and molecular weight species of αSN in brain homogenates from MSA, DLB, PD and normal aged controls. In DLB and PD, substantial amounts of detergent‐soluble and detergent‐insoluble αSN were detected compared with controls in grey matter homogenate. Compared with controls, MSA cases had significantly higher levels of αSN in the detergent‐soluble fraction of brain samples from pons and white matter but detergent‐insoluble αSN was not detected. There was an inverse correlation between buffered saline‐soluble and detergent‐soluble levels of αSN in individual MSA cases suggesting a transition towards insolubility in disease. The differences in solubility of αSN between grey and white matter in disease may result from different processing of αSN in neurons compared with oligodendrocytes. Highly insoluble αSN is not involved in the pathogenesis of MSA. It is therefore possible that buffered saline‐soluble or detergent‐soluble forms of αSN are involved in the pathogenesis of other αSN‐related diseases.

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.
