Characterization of antibodies that selectively detect alpha-synuclein in pathological inclusions.

Abstract:

:Sensitive detection of alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn) pathology is important in the diagnosis of disorders like Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and multiple system atrophy and in providing better insights into the etiology of these diseases. Several monoclonal antibodies that selectively react with aggregated alpha-syn in pathological inclusions and reveal extensive and underappreciated alpha-syn pathology in the brains of diseased patients were previously reported by Duda et al. (Ann Neurol 52:205-210, 2002). We sought to characterize the specificity of some of these antibodies (Syn 505, Syn 506 and Syn 514); using C-terminal and N-terminal truncations of alpha-syn, all three antibodies were determined to require N-terminal epitopes that minimally comprise amino acids 2-4, but possibly extend to amino acid 12 of alpha-syn. The selectivity of these antibodies was further assessed using biochemical analysis of human brains and reactivity to altered recombinant alpha-syn proteins with duplication variants of amino acids 1-12. In addition, by expressing wild-type or a double mutant (E46K/A53T) of alpha-syn in cultured cells and by comparing their immunoreactivities to another antibody (SNL-4), which has a similar primary epitope, it was determined that Syn 505, Syn 506 and Syn 514 recognize conformational variants of alpha-syn that is enhanced by the presence of the double mutations. These studies indicate that antibodies Syn 505, Syn 506 and Syn 514 preferentially recognize N-terminal epitopes in complex conformations, consistent with the dramatic conformational change associated with the polymerization of alpha-synuclein into amyloid fibrils that form pathological inclusions.
