Because no evidence could be obtained that genetic factors are the reason for the association between these two diseases, we hypothesized that of the three major Parkinson’s disease-related proteins—α-synuclein, LRRK2, and Parkin—α-synuclein might be a major link. Our data, presented here, demonstrate that α-synuclein promotes the survival of primary and metastatic melanoma cells, which is the exact opposite of the effect that α-synuclein has on dopaminergic neurons, where its accumulation causes neuronal dysfunction and death. Because this detrimental effect of α-synuclein on neurons can be rescued by the small molecule anle138b, we explored its effect on melanoma cells. We found that treatment with anle138b leads to massive melanoma cell death due to a major dysregulation of autophagy, suggesting that α-synuclein is highly beneficial to advanced melanoma because it ensures that autophagy is maintained at a homeostatic level that promotes and ensures the cell’s survival."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1073/pnas.1700200114"],["dc.identifier.gro","3142238"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/13362"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","lifescience updates Crossref Import"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.issn","0027-8424"],["dc.title","Treatment with diphenyl–pyrazole compound anle138b/c reveals that α-synuclein protects melanoma cells from autophagic cell death"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

We established quantitative real-time quaking-induced conversion for the measurement of minute amounts of PrPSc in body fluids such as urine. Using this approach, we monitored the efficacy of antiprion therapy by quantifying the seeding activity of PrPSc from the brain and urine of mice after prion infection. We found that the aggregation inhibitor anle138b decreased the levels of PrPSc in the brain and urine. Importantly, variations of PrPSc levels in the urine closely corresponded to those in the brain. Our findings indicate that quantification of urinary PrPSc enables measurement of prion disease progression in body fluids and can substitute for immunodetection in brain tissue. We expect PrPSc quantification biologic fluids (such as urine and cerebrospinal fluid) with quantitative real-time quaking-induced conversion to emerge as a valuable noninvasive diagnostic tool for monitoring disease progression and the efficacy of therapeutic approaches in animal studies and human clinical trials of prion diseases. Moreover, highly sensitive methods for quantifying pathologic aggregate seeds might provide novel molecular biomarkers for other neurodegenerative diseases that may involve prion-like mechanisms (protein aggregation and spreading), such as Alzheimer disease and Parkinson disease."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1097/NEN.0000000000000233"],["dc.identifier.gro","3141840"],["dc.identifier.isi","000360142900007"],["dc.identifier.pmid","26247395"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/1656"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","WoS Import 2017-03-10"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.relation.issn","0022-3069"],["dc.title","Quantitative Real-Time Quaking-Induced Conversion Allows Monitoring of Disease-Modifying Therapy in the Urine of Prion-Infected Mice"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The therapeutic impact of these compounds was attributed to the modulation of a-synuclein and prion-protein aggregation related to these diseases. Methods: Photophysical and photochemical properties of the diphenyl-pyrazole compounds anle138b, anle186b and sery313b and their interaction with monomeric and aggregated a-synuclein were studied by fluorescence techniques. Results: The fluorescence emission of diphenyl-pyrazole is strongly increased upon incubation with a-synuclein fibrils, while no change in fluorescence emission is found when brought in contact with monomeric a-synuclein. This points to a distinct interaction between diphenyl-pyrazole and the fibrillar structure with a high binding affinity (K-d = 190 +/- 120 nM) for anle138b. Several a-synuclein proteins form a hydrophobic binding pocket for the diphenyl-pyrazole compound. A UV-induced dehalogenation reaction was observed for anle138b which is modulated by the hydrophobic environment of the fibrils. Conclusion: Fluorescence of the investigated diphenyl-pyrazole compounds strongly increases upon binding to fibrillar a-synuclein structures. Binding at high affinity occurs to hydrophobic pockets in the fibrils. General significance: The observed particular fluorescence properties of the diphenyl-pyrazole molecules open new possibilities for the investigation of the mode of action of these compounds in neurodegenerative diseases. The high binding affinity to aggregates and the strong increase in fluorescence upon binding make the compounds promising fluorescence markers for the analysis of aggregation-dependent epitopes.
