Abstract: Objective To explore the expressions of oligomer α-synuclein (oligo-α-syn) and phosphorylated α-synuclein (p-α-syn) in synaptosome in brain regions of cynomolgus monkeys of different ages. Methods ELISA was applied to measure the expressions of oligo-α-syn and p-α-syn in different brain regions of cynomolgus monkeys of different ages. Results The synaptosome-α-Syn oligomers and synaptosome-p-α-syn increased significantly in prefrontal lobe, occipital lobe, temporal lobe, hippocampus, striatum and thalamus of old monkeys compared with that of young and middle-aged monkeys (P<0.01). Conclusion The highest level expression of oligo-α-syn and p-α-syn was found in synaptosome of all brain regions in old cynomolgus monkeys.

Key words: oligomer α-synuclein (oligo-α-syn), phosphorylation-α-synuclein (p-α-Syn), cynomolgus monkeys, synaptosome
