1 Copper and iron ions accelerate the prion-like propagation of alpha-synuclein: A vicious cycle in Parkinson"s disease. Iron synuclein alpha Homo sapiens
2 Here, we reported that copper/iron ions accelerate prion-like propagation of alpha-synuclein fibrils by promoting cellular internalization of alpha-synuclein fibrils, intracellular alpha-synuclein aggregation and the subsequent release of mature fibrils to the extracellular space to induce further propagation. Iron synuclein alpha Homo sapiens
3 Here, we reported that copper/iron ions accelerate prion-like propagation of alpha-synuclein fibrils by promoting cellular internalization of alpha-synuclein fibrils, intracellular alpha-synuclein aggregation and the subsequent release of mature fibrils to the extracellular space to induce further propagation. Iron synuclein alpha Homo sapiens
4 Here, we reported that copper/iron ions accelerate prion-like propagation of alpha-synuclein fibrils by promoting cellular internalization of alpha-synuclein fibrils, intracellular alpha-synuclein aggregation and the subsequent release of mature fibrils to the extracellular space to induce further propagation. Iron synuclein alpha Homo sapiens
5 Mechanistically, copper/iron ions enhanced alpha-synuclein fibrils internalization was mediated by negatively charged membrane heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs). Iron synuclein alpha Homo sapiens
6 alpha-Synuclein fibrils formed in the presence of copper/iron ions were more cytotoxic, causing increased ROS production, cell apoptosis, and shortened the lifespan of a C. elegans PD model overexpressing human alpha-synuclein. Iron synuclein alpha Homo sapiens
7 alpha-Synuclein fibrils formed in the presence of copper/iron ions were more cytotoxic, causing increased ROS production, cell apoptosis, and shortened the lifespan of a C. elegans PD model overexpressing human alpha-synuclein. Iron synuclein alpha Homo sapiens
8 Together, our results suggest a new role for heavy metal ions, e.g. copper and iron, in the pathogenesis of PD through accelerating prion-like propagation of alpha-synuclein fibrils. Iron synuclein alpha Homo sapiens
