| Research Abstract |
To clarify the molecular mechanisms of GCI formation and subsequent oligodendroglial degeneration, we ectopically expressed α-SYN and TPPP in HEK293T and oligodendroglial KG1C cell lines. Here we showed that TPPP specifically accelerated α-SYN oligomer formation and co-immunoprecipitation analysis revealed the specific interaction of TPPP and α-SYN. Moreover, phosphorylation of α-SYN at Ser-129 facilitated the TPPP-mediated α-SYN oligomerization. TPPP facilitated α-SYN-positive cytoplasmic perinuclear inclusions mimicking GCI in both cell lines ; however, apoptotic cell death was only observed in KG1C cells. This apoptotic cell death was partly rescued by sirtuin 2 inhibition.
