Early synaptic changes and reduced brain connectivity in PD-like mice with depressive phenotype

Anxiety and depression are common in Parkinson’s disease (PD), affecting quality of life. Aggregates of α-synuclein (α-Syn) are found in serotonergic (5-HT) raphe nuclei early in the disease, but their relationship to brain changes is unclear. We investigated synaptic plasticity, neuronal activity,...

Aggregates of α-synuclein (α-Syn) are found in serotonergic (5-HT) raphe nuclei early in the disease, but their relationship to brain changes is unclear. We investigated synaptic plasticity, neuronal activity, and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)-based brain connectivity in a PD-like mouse model with depressive phenotype. AAV-induced human α-Syn accumulation in raphe 5-HT neurons causes progressive synaptic pathology in interconnected brain regions. This is marked by lower MAP-2, PSD95 and higher SV2A, VAMP2, which are key to synaptic structure and function, as confirmed in human brain tissue samples. Abnormalities in Egr-1-dependent neuronal activity and region-specific differences in resting-state functional brain activity were also detected eight weeks post-AAV infusion, before neurodegeneration. This provides evidence for synaptic and fMRI markers associated with α-Syn pathology in emotional brain circuits, and has translational importance for identifying PD patients at risk for depression.This work was supported by MCIU/AEI/FEDER, UE grant (PID2019-105136RB-100, PID2022-141700OB-I00, MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 to A.B.), and AGAUR 2021-SGR-01358, Catalan Government.
