Parkinsons disease (PD), the most common neurodegenerative movement disorder, is characterised by pervasive deposition of alpha-synuclein (-Syn) aggregates and the death of dopaminergic neurons. Fc gamma receptor IIb (Fc{gamma}RIIb or CD32b), the sole inhibitory Fc{gamma}R in humans (h) and mice (m), serves as a molecular conduit for intercellular -Syn transmission in-vitro. Here, we demonstrate that Fc{gamma}RIIb facilitates -Syn propagation and neurotoxicity in-vivo using the pre-formed fibril (PFF) -Syn model in mice. Genetic ablation of mFc{gamma}RII attenuated PFF -Syn-induced Lewy pathology, dampened associated neuroinflammatory responses, and preserved nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons. Furthermore, pharmacological blockade of hFc{gamma}RIIb using clinically-related monoclonal antibodies mitigated acute-phase -Syn pathology in hFc{gamma}RIIb-transgenic mice following PFF challenge. Collectively, our results indicate that Fc{gamma}RIIb is a mediator of -Syn propagation in-vivo and highlight it as a tractable therapeutic target against -synucleinopathies like PD.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
