Summary

An ELISA offering a novel quantitative approach is described. It specifically detects disease-associated α-synuclein (αSD) in a transgenic mouse model (M83) of synucleinopathy using several antibodies against either the Ser129 phosphorylated αS form or the C-terminal part of the protein.

Abstract

В дополнение к установленным методам, как вестерн-блоттинга, новые методы необходимы, чтобы быстро и легко количественно, ассоциированных с заболеваниями α-синуклеина (alpha; S D) в экспериментальных моделях synucleopathies. Трансгенной линии мышей (M83) более-выражения A53T & alpha; S человека и спонтанно развивается резкое клиническое фенотип между восемью и 22 месяцев, характеризующихся симптомами, включая потерю веса, упадок сил, и серьезные нарушения двигателя был использован в данном исследовании. Для молекулярных анализов alpha; S D (заболевания, связанные alpha; S) в этих мышей, ИФА был разработан специально для количественного & alpha; S D в больных мышей. Анализ центральной нервной системы в этой модели мыши показали наличие D & alpha; S, главным образом, в каудальных областях мозга и спинного мозга. Там не было никаких различий в распределении & alpha; S D между различных экспериментальных условиях, приводящих к клинической болезни, т.е. в uninoculованные и, как правило старения трансгенных мышей и мышей, привитых с экстрактами мозга от больных мышей. Конкретное определение иммунореактивности & alpha; S D с использованием антитела против Ser129 фосфорилируется & alpha; S от ELISA существу коррелируют с полученной помощью Вестерн-блоттинга и иммуногистохимии. Неожиданно, аналогичные результаты были получены с несколькими другими антителами против С-концевой части & alpha; S. Распространение & alpha; S D, предполагая участие в "прионов, как" механизм, таким образом, может быть легко контролируется и количественно в этой модели мыши с использованием подхода, ELISA.

Introduction

Most current methods for detecting disease-associated α-synuclein (αSD) in experimental models of Parkinson’s disease (PD), such as immunohistochemistry or Western blot, are time-consuming and not quantitative. This neurodegenerative disease is characterized by alpha-synuclein aggregation mainly in the form of inclusions containing an aggregated form of the normally soluble presynaptic protein αS1,2 (Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites). Normally only marginally phosphorylated, αS is hyperphosphorylated at its serine 129 residue in these inclusions3 and can be monitored by antibodies specifically directed against Ser129 phosphorylated αS, thus providing a reliable marker of the pathology.

Recent research suggests that a “prion-like” mechanism could be involved in the propagation of αS aggregation within the nervous system of an affected patient4,5. These studies reported the acceleration of a synucleinopathy by inoculating brain extracts containing αSD into a transgenic mouse model (M83) expressing an A53T mutated human αS protein associated with a severe motor impairment occurring as the mice age6. In the same manner, intra-cerebral inoculation of aggregated recombinant αS in the same M83 mouse model confirmed the acceleration of aggregation5. The induction of deposits of phosphorylated αS has also been reported after inoculation of C57Bl/6 wild-type mice with either fibrillar recombinant αS or brain extracts from human DLB patients7,8. Sacino et al.9 recently pointed out that after injection of fibrillar human αS, a widespread and progressive cerebral αS inclusion formation could be induced in M83 mice, but not in E46K transgenic mice or non-transgenic mice in which induced αS inclusions were transient, and mainly restricted to the site of injection. Recent studies on monkeys confirmed propagation of αS aggregates after inoculation of PD-derived extracts in species closer to humans10.

The link between αS alterations and Parkinson’s disease suggest that αSD is a potential biomarker for Parkinson’s disease11. A recent study showed the detection of oligomeric soluble aggregates of α-synuclein in human cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) and plasma as a potential biomarker for Parkinson’s disease based on a conventional sandwich system ELISA using the same antibody to capture and detect αS12. Based on the same method, multimeric proteins were recognized in biological samples, including the brain, because there are multiple copies of epitopes present in the assembled forms13. Very recently, pathological αS in the CSF of patients with a proven Lewy body pathology was detected using both an ELISA kit with a highly specific antibody against αSD (5G4) and an immunoprecipitation assay14. These methods could differentiate patients with PD/DLB from other types of dementia.

The “prion-like” propagation of αS aggregation was further studied in transgenic mouse model M83 using an ELISA approach that was designed to specifically identify αSD15. In this study, we report the detailed ELISA protocol used to quantitatively detect αSD in sick mice (whether or not inoculated with αSD from sick M83 mice) and more especially in the brain regions specifically targeted by the pathological process in this M83 transgenic mouse model4.

Использование ELISA был продемонстрирован в частности, обнаружить & alpha; S D непосредственно из гомогенатов мозга мыши в течение заболевания в модели трансгенной мыши M83. В самом деле, это ИФА может легко отличить больные M83 мышей от здоровых мышей M83, используя только целые гомогена?…
