Pathologic -synuclein (-syn) spreads from cell-to-cell, in part, through binding to the lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (Lag3). Here we report that amyloid {beta} precursor-like protein 1 (Aplp1) forms a complex with Lag3 that facilitates the binding, internalization, transmission, and toxicity of pathologic -syn. Deletion of both Aplp1 and Lag3 eliminates the loss of dopaminergic neurons and the accompanying behavioral deficits induced by -syn preformed fibrils (PFF). Anti-Lag3 prevents the internalization of -syn PFF by disrupting the interaction of Aplp1 and Lag3, and blocks the neurodegeneration induced by -syn PFF in vivo. The identification of Aplp1 and the interplay with Lag3 for -syn PFF induced pathology advances our understanding of the molecular mechanism of cell-to-cell transmission of pathologic -syn and provides additional targets for therapeutic strategies aimed at preventing neurodegeneration in Parkinsons disease and related -synucleinopathies.

Aplp1 is a receptor that drives pathologic -syn transmission, and genetic depletion of Aplp1 can significantly reduce the -synuclein pathogenesis. Aplp1 and Lag3 forms an Aplp1-Lag3 complex that accounts for substantial binding of pathologic -syn to cortical neurons. Together Aplp1 and Lag3 play a major role in pathologic -syn internalization, transmission and toxicity. Double knockout of Aplp1 and Lag3 and or a Lag3 antibody that disrupts the Aplp1 and Lag3 complex almost completely blocks -syn PFF-induced neurodegeneration. C_FIG
