Identical Seeding Characteristics and Cryo-EM Filament Structures in FTLD-Synuclein and Typical Multiple System Atrophy.
Aims: The aim of this study is to identify the prevalence of frontotemporal dementia (FTD)/corticobasal syndrome (CBS) in a large cohort of pathologically confirmed cases of multiple system atrophy (MSA) and to determine the α-synuclein seeding characteristics and electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM) filament structure in frontotemporal lobar degeneration with MSA-type α-synuclein pathology (FTLD-synuclein).
Methods: The archives of the Queen Square Brain Bank (1989-2023) were searched for histologically confirmed MSA cases, and those with a clinical diagnosis of FTD/CBS were reviewed for pathological features of FTLD-synuclein. Phosphotungstic acid (PTA)-precipitated brain homogenates from FTLD-synuclein, dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and G51D SNCA synucleinopathy cases were used to seed aggregation in α-syn140*A53T-YFP HEK293T cells. The structure of α-synuclein filaments from an FTLD-synuclein case was determined by cryo-EM.
Results: We identified 283 cases of MSA. Four cases had a clinical diagnosis of CBS, one of which met pathological criteria for FTLD-synuclein. Genetic studies in this case were negative for SNCA variants, and PTA-precipitated brain homogenates seeded abundant cytoplasmic α-synuclein inclusions that were morphologically indistinguishable from those of typical MSA but distinct from those of G51D SNCA and DLB. MSA Type II α-synuclein filaments were identified by cryo-EM.
Conclusions: FTD/CBS is rarely associated with MSA pathology. The cell seeding characteristics and cryo-EM findings support the classification of FTLD-synuclein as a subtype of MSA, differentiating it from genetic synucleinopathies, such as those with SNCA variants G51D and A53E, which have neuropathological features overlapping with MSA and Lewy body diseases. These cases expand the clinicopathological spectrum of MSA and FTLD and have implications for our understanding of selective neuronal vulnerability in MSA and the interpretation of α-synuclein biomarker studies.
期刊介绍：
Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology is an international journal for the publication of original papers, both clinical and experimental, on problems and pathological processes in neuropathology and muscle disease. Established in 1974, this reputable and well respected journal is an international journal sponsored by the British Neuropathological Society, one of the world leading societies for Neuropathology, pioneering research and scientific endeavour with a global membership base. Additionally members of the British Neuropathological Society get 50% off the cost of print colour on acceptance of their article.
