Abstract

We examined the potential relationship between aging and α-synuclein (α-Syn) metabolism, both of which are implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD) and otherα-synucleinopathies. During aging,α-Syn and β-Syn mRNA expression in brain decreases, but the protein levels are maintained at high levels. Significantly, the α-Syn protein level increases with aging in human substantia nigra. Pulse-chase analyses of α-Syn half-lives in neurons and neuronal cell lines indicate that, in mature neurons, the expression of α-Syn is regulated by the post-translational stabilization of α-Syn protein. Moreover, A53T mutant human α-Syn exhibits increased stability in neuronal cell lines, leading to higher levels of the mutant protein in cells and transgenic mice. Inhibitor studies suggest that the proteasomal and lysosomal systems may not be responsible for the differential stabilization or metabolism of α-Syn protein in neuronal cells. Because increased stabilization of α-Syn protein is associated with increased protein levels and accumulation of pathogenic protein modifications, such as oxidative damage, the stabilization of α-Syn with aging may be a significant factor in the pathogenesis of α-synucleinopathies.

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.
