Abstract

synphilin-1 parkin lewy bodies distribution immunohistochemistry immunoelectron microscopy aggresomes proteasome inhibitor MG-132 yeast two-hybrid analysis
Lewy bodies (LBs) are the characteristic inclusions of Parkinson's disease brain but the mechanism responsible for their formation is obscure. Lewy bodies (LBs) are composed of a number of proteins of which alpha-synuclein (α-SYN) is a major constituent. In this study, we have investigated the distribution patterns of synphilin-1 and parkin proteins in control and sporadic PD brain tissue by immunohistochemistry (IH), immunoblotting, and immunoelectron microscopy (IEM). We demonstrate the presence of synphilin-1 and parkin in the central core of a majority of LBs using IH and IEM. Using IH, we show an overlapping distribution profile of the two proteins in central neurons. Additionally, we show sensitivity of both endogenous synphilin-1 and parkin to proteolytic dysfunction and their co-localization in aggresomes formed in response to the proteasome inhibitor MG-132. We confirm that synphilin-1 and parkin are components of majority of LBs in Parkinson's disease and that both proteins are susceptible to proteasomal degradation. © 2005 Elsevier Inc.
