Abstract: Objective To investigate the localization of α-synuclein(α-syn) in human brain meningiomas tissues and its association with β-tubulin. Methods Immuohistochemistry with antibodies against α-syn was used to reveal the localizations of α-syn in normal brain and meningiomas tissues. Double immunofluorescent labeling was used to observe the co-localization of α-syn with β-tubulin. Results In normal brain tissues, α-syn was localized in presynaptic terminals and cytoplasms of the neuronal somata, which was co-localized with synaptophysin and β-tubulin, respectively. In meningiomas tissues, α-syn was observed in cytoplasms and nuclei of the tumor cells. α-Syn in tumor cells were found to be co-localized with β-tubulin. Conclusion α-Syn was localized in the cytoplasm and nucleus of the meningiomas cells, and colocalized with β-tubulin.

Key words: α-synuclein, β-tubulin, meningiomas
