Beta-synuclein displays an antiapoptotic p53-dependent phenotype and protects neurons from 6-hydroxydopamine-induced caspase 3 activation: cross-talk with alpha-synuclein and implication for Parkinson's disease.

Abstract excerpt

We have established stable transfectants expressing beta-synuclein in TSM1 neurons. We show that in basal and staurosporine-induced conditions the number of terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediated dUTP nick end-labeling (TUNEL)-positive beta-synuclein-expressing neurons was drastically lowe...
