alpha -synuclein lowers p53-dependent apoptotic response in neuronal cells: Abolishment by 6-hydroxydopamine and implication for Parkinson's disease

We have examined the influence of alpha -synuclein on the responsiveness of TSM1 neuronal cells to apoptotic stimulus. We show that alpha -synuclein drastically lowers basal and staurosporine-stimulated caspase 3 immunoreactivity and activity. This is accompanied by lower DNA fragmentation and reduced number of tunel-positive neurons. Interestingly, alpha -synuclein also diminishes both p53 expression and transcriptional activity. We demonstrate that the antiapoptotic phenotype displayed by alpha -synuclein can be fully reversed by the Parkinson’s disease-associated dopamine derivative 6-hydroxydopamine. Thus, 6-hydroxydopamine fully abolishes the alpha -synuclein-mediated reduction of caspase 3 activity and reverses the associated decrease of p53 expression. 6-hydroxydopamine triggers thioflavin T-positive deposits in alpha -synuclein- but not Mock-transfected TSM1 neurons and drastically increases alpha -synuclein immunoreactivity. Altogether, we suggest that alpha -synuclein lowers the p53-dependent caspase 3 activation of TSM1 in response to apoptotic stimuli and we propose that the natural toxin 6-hydroxydopamine abolishes this antiapoptotic phenotype by triggering alpha -synuclein aggregation, thereby likely contributing to Parkinson’s disease neuropathology
