Alpha synuclein, the culprit in Parkinson disease, is required for normal immune function

Md Masud Alam et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that alpha-synuclein plays a crucial role in normal vertebrate physiology and is a critical mediator of inflammatory and immune responses. Neural cells are the sources of alpha-synuclein required for immune competence.

Extracellular clusterin limits the uptake of α-synuclein fibrils by murine and human astrocytes

Alice Filippini et al.

Summary: The progressive neuropathological damage in Parkinson's disease is believed to be related to the spread of aggregated forms of alpha-synuclein. Clearance of extracellular alpha-synuclein by neurons may be a key mechanism to control its concentration. Clusterin, a glycoprotein associated with Alzheimer's disease, interacts with alpha-synuclein aggregates and limits their uptake by astrocytes, which may contribute to the spreading of Parkinson's pathology.

PKC Delta Activation Promotes Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress (ERS) and NLR Family Pyrin Domain-Containing 3 (NLRP3) Inflammasome Activation Subsequent to Asynuclein-Induced Microglial Activation: Involvement of Thioredoxin-Interacting Protein (TXNIP)/Thioredoxin (Trx) Redoxisome Pathway

Manikandan Samidurai et al.

Summary: This paragraph discusses the impact of accumulated misfolded alpha-synuclein on microglial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction in Parkinson's disease, as well as the association between protein kinase C delta activation, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and reactive microglial activation. It also highlights the potential therapeutic avenues of targeting ERS, TXNIP, and NLRP3 to alleviate neuroinflammation in PD and other synucleinopathies.
