摘要
The precursor of non-amyloid beta protein component of Alzheimer's disease amyloid (NACP/alpha-synuclein) is aggregated and fibrillated under certain conditions, i.e., increasing time lag, high temperature and low pH. These in vitro aggregates form Thioflavine-S-positive filamentous structures, reminiscent of amyloid-like fibrils. Since some Lewy bodies in Parkinson's disease display Thioflavine-S reactivity, our results may suggest that amyloidogenic properties of NACP/alpha-synuclein may play a crucial role in pathogenesis of disorders with Lewy bodies such as Parkinson's disease.
