Fig. 5. Suggested involvement of the differentially expressed proteins in neuronal synuclein disease.

Oligomerisation and accumulation of α-synuclein in Lewy body inclusions is a key process in the pathophysiology of neuronal synuclein disease, i.e. Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies from aggregation and accumulation, the pathological pathway includes different steps finally leading to the loss of dopaminergic neurons. Protective and detrimental mechanisms influence these processes, based on the differently expressed protein profiles, assessed by targeted mass spectrometry in our study. Detailed information about the proteins can be found in Supplementary Table 2.
