Abstract:

Objective To explore the changes of α-synuclein(α-Syn) level in plasma of patients with stroke, and observe the effect of plasma on the formation of oligomeric α-Syn. Methods A total of 50 hospitalized patients with stroke were recruited, they were diagnosed by neurologist of Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University from March to May in 2012. A total of 30 people were recruited as the control group. ELISA was used to evaluate the total α-Syn and the formation of α-Syn oligomers in different groups. Results α-Syn oligomeric formation and total α-Syn level in the plasma of stroke patients was higher than that in controls'. Conclusion Plasma from stroke patients contained high level of total α-Syn and the plasma enhanced formation of oligomeric α-Syn.

Key words: α-synuclein, stroke, plasma
