An increasing number of evidence has shown that the interaction between lipid membranes plays a key role in initiating the pathological aggregation of alpha-synuclein (αSyn). Glucosylceramide accumulation has been implicated in the toxic conversion of αSyn in Parkinson’s disease (PD) with a heterozygous mutation of glucocerebrosidase, however, the involvement of other lipids in idiopathic PD remains largely unknown. In this study, we performed a membrane-based screening of 28 biologically important lipids which are present in the cellular membranes and found that phospholipid A shows the strongest interaction with αSyn. Interestingly, in vitro aggregation assay revealed that phospholipid A not only accelerates the aggregation of αSyn, but also induces the formation of fibrils sharing conformational and biochemical characteristics similar to the fibrils amplified from the brain of PD patients. Treatment of cultured cells with phospholipid A itself or with phospholipid A phosphatase inhibitor, induced intracellular formation of αSyn inclusions. Loss-of-function mutation of synaptojanin1, an enzyme that dephosphorylates the D-5 position phosphate from phospholipid A, causes familial PD (PARK20) and we showed that loss of synaptojanin1 triggers the accumulation of αSyn in a cultured cell model and in a Caenorhabditis elegans model. Notably, immunohistochemical analysis revealed increased immunoreactivity of phospholipid A and its colocalization with αSyn in the postmortem brains of PD patients. Taken together, these findings indicate that phospholipid A dysregulation promotes pathological aggregation of αSyn and increases the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease.

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the demyelination of mature oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system. Recently, several studies have indicated the vital roles of fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) 5 and 7 in regulating the immune response.
Methods: We assessed a novel FABP5/FABP7 inhibitor, FABP ligand 6 (MF 6), as a potential therapeutic for MS therapy. In vivo, we established MOG35-55-administered experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mice as an MS mouse model, followed by prophylactic and symptomatic treatment with MF 6. The therapeutic effect of MF 6 was determined using behavioral and biochemical analyses. In vitro, MF 6 effects on astrocytes and oligodendrocytes were examined using both astrocyte primary culture and KG-1C cell lines.
Results: Prophylactic and symptomatic MF 6 therapy reduced myelin loss and clinical EAE symptoms. Furthermore, oxidative stress levels and GFAP-positive and ionised calcium-binding adaptor protein-1(Iba-1)-positive cells were reduced in the spinal cord of MF 6-treated mice. In addition, MF 6 attenuated lipopolysaccharide- stimulated interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) accumulation in primary astrocyte culture. Moreover, MF 6 indicated a powerful protective function for the mitochondria in the oligodendrocytes of EAE mice via FABP5 inhibition. Conclusion: MF 6 is a potent inhibitor of FABP5 and FABP7; targeted inhibition of IL-1β and TNFα may confer potential therapeutic effects in MS via immune inhibition and oligodendrocyte protection.

Keyword: REM sleep behavior disorder, Parkinson's disease, α-synuclein, Synucleinopathy

During rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, the cerebral cortex becomes activated and produces vivid dreams. Yet, it normally does not lead to motor output owing to expression of loss of muscle tone (muscle atonia). However, patients with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) exhibit impaired muscle atonia during REM sleep and frequently act out of their dreams. For example, the patients talk loudly or exhibit violent movements such as hitting and kicking, which may injure their bed partner. Moreover, patients often wake up following such movements, which can lead to reduced sleep quality and excessive sleepiness or fatigue during the daytime.
A majority of RBD patients co-suffer from synucleinopathies including Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies or eventually develop these diseases within 10-14 years. Thus, RBD is considered as a prodromal of synucleinopathies. In synucleinopathies, α-synuclein accumulates and causes nerve cell death, which leads to motor symptoms such as tremor, bradykinesia, and rigidity as well as non-motor symptoms including sleep disturbances, cognitive impairments, hallucinations and depression.
Here, we aimed to understand the mechanisms underlying the link between RBD and Parkinson’s disease, and establish an RBD mouse model for future development of effective treatment for RBD. A rare G51D α-synuclein mutation is observed in familial Parkinson’s disease, and it leads to the production of toxic α-synuclein fibrils and rapid progression of Parkinson’s disease.
We produced and injected G51D α-synuclein fibrils into the brainstem pontine tegmental area in mice, and examined the effects on muscle atonia during REM sleep, behavior and motor symptoms across several months. We expect that this study will provide important insight to how RBD develops at the early stages of Parkinson’s disease.

Keyword: α-synucleinopathy, fatty acid-binding protein, dopamine D2 receptor, Lewy body disease

α-Synuclein is a protein consisting of 140 amino acid residues that accumulates in dopaminergic nerves and forms aggregates in Parkinson's disease. In order for α-synuclein to accumulate in neurons, the process of protein propagation and cellular uptake is essential. We have recently found that the fatty acid-binding protein FABP3 is essential for α-synuclein uptake in dopaminergic neurons. FABP3 is expressed on dopaminergic neurons in the central nervous system and binds to dopamine D2 long type (D2L) receptors. D2L receptors are known to be abundantly localized in cell membranes, especially in caveolae structures. Therefore, the aim of this study was to elucidate the physiological significance of dopamine D2L receptors and FABP3 in the uptake process of α-synuclein. To analyze the uptake ability of ATTO fluorescence-conjugated α-synuclein monomers and fibrils, we employed mesencephalic neurons derived from dopamine D2L-/-, dopamine D2 receptor null (D2 null), FABP3-/-, and wild-type C57BL6 mice. We also prepared various peptides to block α-synuclein uptake and recover neuronal homeostasis. Immunocytochemical analysis showed that D2L receptor and FABP3 co-localized. In addition, α-synuclein and D2L receptors taken up into the cells were highly co-localized. In contrast, tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-positive cells in D2L knockout or D2 null knockout showed no uptake of α-synuclein monomers or fibrils. Furthermore, inhibition of caveolae formation by dynamin inhibitors or knockdown of caveolin-1 reduced α-synuclein uptake. The C-terminal deletion of α-synuclein abolished its uptake by dopaminergic neurons. Furthermore, we found that the uptake of α-synuclein could be inhibited by treatment with the C-terminal peptide of α-synuclein. The peptide drug prevented the formation of the α-synuclein-FABP3 complex and restored the multimers to monomer form. The therapy also recovered the learning and memory function in the α-synucleinopathy model mice in vivo. It was suggested that dopamine D2L receptors with caveolae formation and FABP3 are essential for α-synuclein uptake in dopaminergic neurons. In addition, the potential of medium-molecule therapeutics targeting the C-terminal of α-synuclein has been demonstrated, which is expected to be a novel pathogenic mechanism and drug target for synucleinopathies including Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies.
