[HT-01] α-Synuclein and beyond: Find out the true culprit causing neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease!

2019年5月22日(水) 09:50 〜 11:50 第6会場 (大阪国際会議場10F 会議室1009)

座長:徳田 隆彦(京都府立医科大学分子脳病態解析学(神経内科学併任)), 高橋 一司(埼玉医科大学 神経内科)

α-Synuclein is a primary component of Lewy bodies, and mutations / overexpression of it cause Parkinson’s disease (PD). Besides, Braak and colleagues identified Lewy pathologies, namely α-synuclein deposition, in various regions of human brains, and demonstrated the temporal sequence of α-synuclein pathologies that emerge in the brains of PD. However, the relationship between α-synuclein deposition and neuronal dysfunction / neuronal death and underlying mechanisms connecting them are still unclear. Is α-synuclein a true culprit of neurodegeneration in PD? If so, what are the precise molecular mechanisms involved with the neurotoxicity of α-synuclein? What other factors contribute to neurodegeneration in PD? Now it is high time that we should know the details molecular mechanisms involved with neurodegeneration in PD. Does α-Synuclein itself cause neurodegeneration or need other factors, namely α-synuclein and beyond?
