It remains unclear whether the distinct pathological presentations of PD/DLB and MSA are manifestations of unique or shared pathological processes. Using the in-situ proximity labeling technique of biotinylation by antibody recognition (BAR), we compared aggregated αsyn-interactomes (BAR-PSER129) and total αsyn-interactomes (BAR-MJFR1) between MSA (n = 5) and PD/DLB (n = 10) in forebrain and midbrain structures. Comparison between MSA and PD/DLB-enriched proteins revealed 79 PD/DLB-differentially abundant proteins and only three MSA-differentially abundant proteins (CBR1, CRYAB, and GFAP). Pathway enrichment analysis revealed that vesicle/SNARE-associated pathways dominated PD/DLB interactions, whereas MSA was strongly enriched for metabolic/catabolic, iron, and cellular oxidant detoxification pathways. A subnetwork of cytosolic antioxidant enzymes called peroxiredoxins drove cellular detoxification pathway enrichment in MSA. A network of 26 proteins, including neuronal-specific proteins (e.g., SYNGR3) with HSPA8 at the core, was shared between MSA and DLB/PD. Extracellular exosome pathways were universally enriched regardless of the disease or BAR target protein. In conclusion, synucleinopathies have divergent and convergent αsyn-aggregate interactions, indicating unique and shared pathogenic mechanisms. MSA uniquely involves oxidant detoxification processes in glial cells, while vesicular processes in neurons dominate PD/DLB. Shared interactions, specifically SYNGR3, between MSA and PD/DLB suggest that neuronal axons are the origin of both diseases.

Chromogen-based staining, while preserving tissue morphology, has been restricted to a single antigen per section, preventing co-assessment of MRC complexes and mitochondrial mass on the same section. Immunofluorescence, which allows multiplex staining of multiple targets, partially addresses this limitation but compromises tissue morphology and can be highly variable in postmortem brain samples. To address these challenges, we have established a dual-antigen, chromogen-based immunohistochemical method that allows simultaneous assessment of each MRC complex and the mitochondrial marker voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1) on the same section. As proof of concept, we apply this method on brain tissue from patients with neurological disease caused by mutations in the mitochondrial DNA polymerase gamma (POLG).

The mesocortical dopaminergic pathway, known to play a key role in cognitive function, is implicated in several neuropsychiatric disorders, yet its involvement in radiation-induced cognitive dysfunction is unexplored. Here, with using in vivo multi-electrode array recordings of both anesthetized and free-moving rats to monitor the firing activities of dopamine neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and local field potentials in both the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and VTA, as well as the immunofluorescence assays and western blotting, we report that cranial irradiation transiently altered VTA dopamine neuron firing patterns without affecting overall firing rates and led to sustained reductions in both \"awake\" and total dopamine neuron density. Additionally, radiation exposure impaired D2 receptor function and disrupted connectivity between the PFC and VTA. These multifaceted disruptions in the mesocortical dopamine signaling may underlie the development of radiation-induced cognitive dysfunction.
