Abstract |
Accumulation and aggregation of α-Synuclein (α-Syn) are the hallmarks of the incidence of α-Synucleinopathies, which comprises dementia with Lewy bodies (LBs). Aggregation inhibitors are anticipated to reduce α-Syn toxicity and serve as therapeutic agents. As a result, α-Syn is regarded as the potential and priority target for drug development. Here, we report inhibition of α-Syn aggregation by a certain lysophospholipids (LPLs) species. LPLs are small bioactive lipid molecules characterized by a single carbon chain and polar head group. The LPLs used here were extracted from porcine liver decomposition product (PLDP), which was previously reported to enhance cognitive function in healthy older adults. In this study, we found that PLDP-extracted lipids (PEL) reduced α-Syn aggregation in a cellular model. In particular, lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) 16:0, LPC18:0, LPC18:1, and lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LPE) 16:0, which are known to be contained in PEL, were found to strongly inhibit α-Syn aggregation. Furthermore, when α-Syn was co-incubated with LPLs, the fluorescence emission of Thioflavin-T (ThT) declined remarkably, indicating a lower fibril formation. Interestingly, differences were observed in the degrees of effect on the reduction of insoluble α-Syn among each LPL. In this context, LPC18:1 and LPE18:1 appeared to interact with α-Syn below 1 nM in vitro. Taken together, these studies indicated the potential of PLDP-derived LPLs as effective therapeutic agents against α-Synucleinopathies.
