Recently, it is recognized as a human prion-likedisease because of the capability of self-reconstruction and self-propogation of the alpha-synucleinwith unknown mechanism. Alpha-synuclein and lipid raft are well-known to their role inintracellular or extracellular vesicle transportation. Lipid raft and neumerous lipid transporters alsoparticipate in neurogenesis and neuroinflammation in various neurodegenerative disorders includingHuntington disease or Alzheimer's disease. Besides, several etiologies mimic MSAphenomenology including autoimmune disorders associated with anti-GAD or anti-TPO antibodies,spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) subtypes and COQ2 gene polymorphism involving in mitochondrialrespiratory chain regulation. Whether manipulation of lipid raft can reverse the early finding ofmyelin protein redistribution, block alpha-synuclein transmission from neurons to oligodendrocytes,postpone the demyelination and subsequent cell death of oligodendrocyte, alleviateautoantibody-induced neuroinflammation in early MSA deserves further investigation. To answerthe questions, we plan to construct the first thorough Taiwanese MSA patient bank to analyze theenvironmental, genetic and serobiochemical factors on the development and progression of MSA;focus on cell-cell interaction between neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes; aim at interactionbetween lipid raft, lipid transporters such as P25α, cholesterol metabolsim and alpha-synuclein invivo and in vitro; in order to decode the mechanism of spreading of alpha-synucleinopathy and seekthe potential therapeutic target to block and discontinue the lethal progressive proteinopathy ofneurodegenerative diseases in MSA . The findings may translate to other alpha-synucleinopathy,such as Parkinson's disease, diffused lewy body dementia.多重系統退化症寡突膠細胞脂筏alpha-synucleinp25αmultiple system atrophyoligodendrocytelipid raftalpha-synucleinP25αThe Pathophysiology of Multiple System Atrophy: the Role of Cholesterol Metabolism and Lipid Raft Dysfunction on the Alpha-Synuclein Deposition/Propagation in the Central Nervous System
