The values (t1/2, expressed as mean ± SEM in hours; average span, in percentage) are calculated using the same methods as described in Table 1. The best fits (R2) were achieved by assuming that the decays of the α-Syn species are biphasic in the undifferentiated SH-SY5Y cell lines and are monophasic in the neuronally differentiated cells. The differentiation-dependent increases in the half-lives of α-Syn variants were highly significant (p <0.01; t test). Additionally, the half-life of Moα-Syn is shorter than the half-life of WT Huα-Syn in both undifferentiatedb (p <0.05; t test) and differentiated c(p <0.01; t test) SH-SY5Y cells. Finally, the half-life of A53T Huα-Syn is longer than that of WT Huα-Syn in differentiated SH-SY5Y cells a(p <0.01; t test).
