Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein A was identified by analyzing the protein increased in exosomes when synuclein fibrils were highly expressed. Overexpression of protein A increased the extracellular release of aSyn via exosomes. In addition, immunoprecipitation showed that αSyn was directly bound to protein A.Interestingly, when αSyn itself was overexpressed while protein A was overexpressed, αSyn-positive inclusion bodies were confirmed in the cells. When comparing the amount of αSyn in exosomes when co-expressing protein A with fibril or monomer of αSyn pathogenic mutation, the G51D mutation was very strongly incorporated to exosome.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究では、αシヌクレインというパーキンソン病の発病原因の最も中核にある分子の一つが、どのように細胞から細胞に伝播していくか、その様式の一助を明らかにした。蛋白質Aの増加がパーキンソン病患者において特異的に、または加齢に伴い非特異的に、増加している場合、蛋白質Aの発現を押さえる治療がパーキンソン病の進展を予防する効果が期待できる。
