摘要
This study aimed to determine whether enteric neurons are involved in multiple system atrophy (MSA). Four-mu m-thick slices of small intestine were prepared from 10%-formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded materials obtained from autopsied cases. Enteric neurons were stained using an anti-peripherin antibody. Immunostaining of phosphorylated alpha-synuclein was also performed. Areas of the cytoplasm and nucleus that showed nucleoli were measured using computer software. Both areas of myenteric neurons were significantly smaller in MSA cases (n = 3) than in control subjects (n = 3) (P < 0.0001); however, no deposits of phosphorylated alpha-synuclein were observed. These findings suggest that myenteric neurons in MSA are affected independent of alpha-synuclein accumulation.
