Longitudinal multi-omics in alpha-synuclein Drosophila model discriminates disease- from age-associated pathologies in Parkinson’s disease by Justin Moore, Timothy Wu, Justin Dhindsa, Omar El Fadel, Anh Le, Alma Perez, Bismark Amoh, Akash Tarkunde, Katy F. Zhu, Matthew Avalos, Eric B. Dammer, Duc M. Duong, Nicholas T. Seyfried, Joshua M. Shulman, Ismael Al-Ramahi, Juan Botas

“…To identify molecular changes early in the disease course and distinguish PD pathologies from aging, we generated Drosophila expressing alpha-synuclein (αSyn) in neurons and performed longitudinal bulk transcriptomics and proteomics on brains at six time points across the lifespan and compared the data to healthy control flies as well as human post-mortem brain datasets. We found that translational and energy metabolism pathways were downregulated in αSyn flies at the earliest timepoints; comparison with the aged control flies suggests that elevated αSyn accelerates changes associated with normal aging. …”
