Dopamine induces soluble α-synuclein oligomers and nigrostriatal degeneration
2017
Dopamine has long been thought to contribute to neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease. The authors show that dopamine-induced neuron death in the substantia nigra is dependent on α-synuclein and coincides with increased levels of α-synuclein oligomers. The results suggest a synergistic interaction between dopamine and α-synuclein that underlies neuronal vulnerability in disease.
