A simple, versatile and robust centrifugation-based filtration protocol for the isolation and quantification of alpha-synuclein monomers, oligomers and fibrils: Towards improving experimental reproducibility in alpha-synuclein research

Hilal Lashuel, Anass Chiki, Sonia Donzelli, Muhammed Muazzam Kamil Syed

Increasing evidence suggests that the process of alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn) aggregation from monomers into amyloid fibrils and Lewy bodies, via oligomeric intermediates plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of different synucleinopathies, including ...

Pronounced α-synuclein pathology in a seeding-based mouse model is not sufficient to induce mitochondrial respiration deficits in the striatum and amygdala

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Hilal Lashuel, Johannes Burtscher, Jean-Christophe Copin

Increasing evidence suggests that crosstalk between α-synuclein pathology formation and mitochondrial dysfunction plays a central role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease and related synucleinopathies. While mitochondrial dysfunction is a well-studi ...

New insights on the structure of alpha-synuclein fibrils using cryo-electron microscopy

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Ricardo Cesar Guerrero Ferreira, Dongchun Ni

Fibrils of alpha-synuclein are significant components of cellular inclusions associated with several neuropathological disorders including Parkinson’s disease, multiple system atrophy and dementia with Lewy bodies. In recent years, technological advances i ...

How specific are the conformation-specific α-synuclein antibodies? Characterization and validation of 16 α-synuclein conformation-specific antibodies using well-characterized preparations of α-synuclein monomers, fibrils and oligomers with distinct structures and morphology

Hilal Lashuel, Somanath Jagannath

Increasing evidence suggests that alpha-synuclein (α-syn) oligomers are obligate intermediates in the pathway involved in α-syn fibrillization and Lewy body (LB) formation, and may also accumulate within LBs in Parkinson's disease (PD) and other synucleino ...

The process of Lewy body formation, rather than simply α-synuclein fibrillization, is one of the major drivers of neurodegeneration

Hilal Lashuel, Graham Knott, Marion Leleu, Fabien Kuttler, Anne-Laure Mahul Mellier, Mary-Claude Croisier-Coeytaux, Johannes Burtscher, Niran Maharjan, Laura Emmeline H Weerens

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by the accumulation of misfolded and aggregated α-synuclein (α-syn) into intraneuronal inclusions named Lewy bodies (LBs). Although it is widely believed that α-syn plays a central role in the pathogenesis of PD, t ...

A method for fast automated assessment of the magnetic resonance parkinsonism index

Bénédicte Marie Maréchal

In patients with parkinsonian syndromes, and particularly during the early stages of the clinical disease, differentiating between idiopathic Parkinson's disease and progressive supranuclear palsy is challenging. Imaging plays an important role in early di ...

Molecular dissection of amyloid disaggregation by human HSP70

Paolo De Los Rios, Alessandro Barducci

The molecular steps that lead to the disaggregation of amyloid fibrils are shown to involve the synergistic action of HSP70 and its co-chaperones DNAJB1 and HSP110. ...

Longitudinal neural and vascular structural dynamics produced by chronic microelectrode implantation

Andrea Lozzi

Implanted microelectrode arrays sense local neuronal activity, signals which are used as control commands for brain computer interface (BCI) technology. Patients with tetraplegia have used BCI technology to achieve an extraordinary degree of interaction wi ...

Dopaminergic neurodegeneration induced by Parkinson's disease-linked G2019S LRRK2 is dependent on kinase and GTPase activity

Elpida Tsika, Darren Moore, Xi Chen

Mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) are the most common cause of late-onset, autosomal-dominant familial Parkinson's disease (PD). LRRK2 functions as both a kinase and GTPase, and PD-linked mutations are known to influence both enzymatic acti ...

Chronic corticosterone aggravates behavioral and neuronal symptomatology in a mouse model of alpha-synuclein pathology

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Hilal Lashuel, Johannes Burtscher, Anass Chiki, João Pedro de Matos Rodrigues, Jean-Christophe Copin

Debilitating, yet underinvestigated nonmotor symptoms related to mood/emotion, such as depression, are common in Parkinson's disease. Here, we explore the role of depression and of the amygdala, a brain region robustly linked to mood/emotion, in synucleino ...

Phospho-S129 Alpha-Synuclein Is Present in Human Plasma but Not in Cerebrospinal Fluid as Determined by an Ultrasensitive Immunoassay

Hilal Lashuel, Sean Michael Deguire, Lara Petricca

Accumulation and aggregation of misfolded alpha-synuclein is believed to be a cause of Parkinson's disease (PD). Phosphorylation of alpha-synuclein at S129 is known to be associated with the pathological misfolding process, but efforts to investigate the r ...
