Inclusion bodies containing the neural protein α-synuclein (et-syn) are observed in several neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease (PD). Furthermore, over-expression of α-syn in rat brain partly mimics the neuropathological and behavioral features of PD by triggering the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra (SN). Mitochondrial dysfunction is also central to PD pathogenesis, and α-syn is found in the mitochondria. However, the precise mechanisms of α-syninduced neurotoxicity remain elusive. To examine the potential mechanisms of α-syn-induced neurodegeneration, we over-expressed α-syn in the SN of rats using a recombinant adeno-associated viral vector (rAAV-syn). Immunohistochemical and immunogold labeling results indicated that α-syn was successfully over-expressed in the SN and striatum after vector injection. The number of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive (dopaminergic) neurons was significantly reduced in rats injected with rAAV-syn when compared with control rats. Compared with control rats, the density of α-syn-conjugated gold particles was greater in the axons, cytoplasm, nuclei, and notably also in the mitochondria of SN neurons in rAAV-syn-injected rats. In addition, SN neurons transfected with rAAV-syn exhibited swollen mitochondria with discontinuous outer membranes and internal vacuole-like structures, strongly suggesting oL-syn-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. Mitochondria in rAAV-syn-injected rats were also observed in autophago- somes, ol-Syn co-immunoprecipitated with voltagedependent anion channel 1 (ArDAC1), a component of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) that induces mitochondrial uncoupling and apoptosis. Overexpression of α-syn may cause the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons through an interaction with mitochondrial VDACl, which leads to mPTP activation, mito- chondrial uncoupling, and cell death.
