Induction of Neuronal Cell Death by Rab5A-dependent Endocytosis of α-Synuclein
1 Jul 2001
Abstract excerpt
The presynaptic alpha-synuclein is a prime suspect for contributing to Lewy pathology and clinical aspects of diseases, including Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and a Lewy body variant of Alzheimer's disease. Here we examined the pathogenic mechanism of neuronal cell death induced by alpha-synuclein. The exogenous addition of alpha-synuclein caused a marked decrease of cell viability in primary...
