Neurodegenerative phenotypes in an A53T-synuclein transgenic mouse model are independent of LRRK2

Mutations in the genes encoding LRRK2 and -synuclein cause autosomal dominant forms of familial Parkinsons disease (PD). Fibrillar forms of -synuclein are a major component of Lewy bodies, the intracytoplasmic proteinaceous inclusions that are a pathologic ...

Role of the FoxO3a Transcription Factor in alpha-synuclein Induced Neurodegeneration

Emilda Pino

Increased expression of α-synuclein and point mutations in its amino acid sequence play a causative role in familial forms of Parkinson's disease (PD). In addition, circumstances affecting the level of α-synuclein expression significantly increase the risk ...

Alpha-Synuclein Effects at the ER-to-Golgi Level and Potential Biomarkers in Rat Models of the Early Phase of Parkinson's Disease

Philippe Guillaume Coune

While Parkinson's disease has been described nearly 200 years ago, the mechanisms leading to the degeneration of selectively vulnerable populations of neurons, such as dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, remain mostly unknown. Our poor understand ...

Parkin deficiency delays motor decline and disease manifestation in a mouse model of synucleinopathy

Hilal Lashuel

In synucleinopathies, including Parkinson's disease, partially ubiquitylated alpha-synuclein species phosphorylated on serine 129 (P(S129)-alpha-synuclein) accumulate abnormally. Parkin, an ubiquitin-protein ligase that is dysfunctional in autosomal recess ...

Abnormal Localization of Leucine-Rich Repeat Kinase 2 to the Endosomal-Lysosomal Compartment in Lewy Body Disease

Darren Moore

Missense mutations in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene are the most common causes of both familial and sporadic forms of Parkinson disease and are also associated with diverse pathological alterations. The mechanisms whereby LRRK2 mutations ca ...

Conditional transgenic mice expressing C-terminally truncated human alpha-synuclein (alpha Syn119) exhibit reduced striatal dopamine without loss of nigrostriatal pathway dopaminergic neurons

Darren Moore

Background: Missense mutations and multiplications of the alpha-synuclein gene cause autosomal dominant familial Parkinson's disease (PD). alpha-Synuclein protein is also a major component of Lewy bodies, the hallmark pathological inclusions of PD. Therefo ...

Phosphorylation does not prompt, nor prevent, the formation of alpha-synuclein toxic species in a rat model of Parkinson's disease

Michaël Unser, Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider, Daniel Sage, Samareh Azeredo da Silveira Lajaunias

Phosphorylation is involved in numerous neurodegenerative diseases. In particular, alpha-synuclein is extensively phosphorylated in aggregates in patients suffering from synucleinopathies. However, the share of this modification in the events that lead to ...

Use of lentiviral vectors for modelling and treating Parkinson's disease

Christophe Lo Bianco

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive degeneration of the dopaminergic nigrostriatal pathway and the abnormal appearance of intracellular inclusions named Lewy bodies (LBs). Over the past few years, the d ...

Lentiviral nigral delivery of GDNF does not prevent neurodegeneration in a genetic rat model of Parkinson's disease

Patrick Aebischer, Christophe Lo Bianco

Viral delivery of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) currently represents one of the most promising neuroprotective strategies for Parkinson's Disease (PD). However, the effect of this neurotrophic factor has never been tested in the newly ...

Lentiviral vector delivery of parkin prevents dopaminergic degeneration in an alpha-synuclein rat model of Parkinson's disease

Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider, Manuel Bauer, Christophe Lo Bianco

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by a progressive loss of midbrain dopamine neurons and the presence of cytoplasmic inclusions called Lewy bodies. Mutations in several genes including alpha-synuclein and parkin have been linked to familial PD. The ...
