- Abstract
Cell-to-cell transmission of α-synuclein (α-syn) pathology underlies the spread of neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease. α-Syn secretion is an important factor in the transmission of α-syn pathology. However, it is unclear how α-syn secretion is therapeutically modulated. Here, we investigated effects of monoamine oxidase (MAO)-B inhibitor selegiline on α-syn secretion. Treatment with selegiline promoted α-syn secretion in mouse primary cortical neuron cultures, and this increase was kept under glial cell-eliminated condition by Ara-C. Selegiline-induced α-syn secretion was blocked by cytosolic Ca
2+ chelator BAPTA-AM in primary neurons. Selegiline-induced α-syn secretion was retained in MAOA siRNA knockdown, whereas it was abrogated by ATG5 knockdown in SH-SY5Y cells. Selegiline increased LC3-II generation with a reduction in intracellular p62/SQSTM1 levels in primary neurons. The increase in LC3-II generation was blocked by co-treatment with BAPTA-AM in primary neurons. Additionally, fractionation experiments showed that selegiline-induced α-syn secretion occurred in non-extracellular vesicle fractions of primary neurons and SH-SY5Y cells. Collectively, these findings show that selegiline promotes neuronal autophagy involving secretion of non-exosomal α-syn via a change of cytosolic Ca2+ levels., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
