Alpha-synuclein overexpression and aggregation exacerbates impairment of mitochondrial functions by augmenting oxidative stress in human neuroblastoma cells.
Aggregates from mutant and wild-type alpha-synuclein proteins and NAC peptide induce apoptotic cell death in human neuroblastoma cells by formation of beta-sheet and amyloid-like filaments.
C/EBPβ overexpression increases SNCA expression in neuroblastoma cells and putative C/EBPβ and δ binding sites are present in the SNCA genomic region suggesting that these proteins could regulate SNCA transcription.
Different NACP-Rep1 alleles have been associated with sporadic Parkinson's disease in some, but not all, studies and can effect expression driven by the SNCA promoter over a three-fold range in the neuroblastoma cell line, SH-SY5Y.
Differential cytotoxicity of dopamine and H2O2 in a human neuroblastoma divided cell line transfected with alpha-synuclein and its familial Parkinson's disease-linked mutants.
For this purpose, we employed two cellular models; to induce severe ER stress, Mes23.5 cells were treated with 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) and for ER stress driven by chaperones, human neuroblastoma cells were stably transfected to overexpress familial mutants of α-synuclein (α-syn).
Generated antibodies recognize misfolded hα-Syn produced by neuroblastoma cells, hα-Syn in the brain tissues of transgenic mouse strains and in the brain tissues of dementia with Lewy body cases.
Hence, in this study we analysed the influence of these two proteins (α-Syn and wild-type or mutant Atx3) on modified redox signaling, a pathological process potentially linked to both diseases, and also the impact of exposure to iron and rotenone in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells.
Here we show that recombinant expression of alpha-synuclein in human neuroblastoma cells enhances cellular levels of PLCβ1 but blunts its signaling pathway, preventing the agonist-dependent rise of cytoplasmic Ca<sup>2+</sup>.
Here, we demonstrate that fully differentiated human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells grown in three-dimensional cell culture develop Lewy-body-like pathology upon exposure to exogenous α-synuclein species.
Herein we have investigated the perturbations induced by low molecular weight α-synuclein and different types of α-synuclein oligomers in the neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells.
Human dopaminergic neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells were stably transduced with various isoforms of alpha-synuclein and their survival following exposure to hydrogen peroxide or to the dopaminergic neurotoxin MPP(+) was assessed.
In support of these conclusions, mutations that target the region that promotes strong membrane interactions by α-synuclein oligomers suppressed their toxicity in neuroblastoma cells and primary cortical neurons.
In the present study we tested whether presence of human mutant GCase leads to accumulation and aggregation of α-synuclein in two models: in SHSY5Y neuroblastoma cells endogenously expressing α-synuclein and stably transfected with human GCase variants, and in Drosophila melanogaster co-expressing normal human α-synuclein and mutant human GCase.
In this study, we demonstrate that α-synuclein exists as defined, subcellular-specific species that change characteristics in response to oxidative stress in neuroblastoma cells and in response to Parkinson's disease pathogenesis in human cerebellum and frontal cortex.
