SignificanceOur results demonstrate the existence of early cellular pathways and network alterations in oligodendrocytes in the alpha-synucleinopathies Parkinson's disease and multiple system atrophy. They further reveal the involvement of an immune component triggered by alpha-synuclein protein, as well as a connection between (epi)genetic changes and immune reactivity in multiple system atrophy. The knowledge generated in this study could be used to devise novel therapeutic approaches to treat synucleinopathies.
意义我们的研究结果表明,在帕金森病和多系统萎缩等α-突触核蛋白病中,少突胶质细胞中存在早期细胞通路和网络改变。它们进一步揭示了α-突触核蛋白触发的免疫成分的参与,以及多系统萎缩中(表观)遗传变化和免疫反应之间的联系。本研究中产生的知识可用于设计治疗突触核蛋白病的新治疗方法。
