Inhibition of UCH-L1 in oligodendroglial cells results in microtubule stabilization and prevents α-synuclein aggregate formation by activating the autophagic pathway: implications for multiple system atrophy

α-Synuclein (α-syn) positive glial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCI) originating in oligodendrocytes are a characteristic hallmark in multiple system atrophy. Their occurrence may be linked to a failure of the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) or the autophagic pathway. For proteasomal degradation, prot...
