The accumulation of aggregated α-synuclein (αSyn) is a hallmark of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Current evidence indicates that small soluble αSyn oligomers (αSynOs) are the most toxic species among the forms of αSyn aggregates, and that size and topological structural properties are crucial factors for αSynOs-mediated toxicity, involving the interaction with either neurons or glial cells. We previously characterized a human αSynO (H-αSynO) with specific structural properties promoting toxicity against neuronal membranes. Here, we tested the neurotoxic potential of these H-αSynOs in vivo, in relation to the neuropathological and symptomatic features of PD. The H-αSynOs were unilaterally infused into the rat substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc). Phosphorylated αSyn (p129-αSyn), reactive microglia, and cytokine levels were measured at progressive time points. Additionally, a phagocytosis assay in vitro was performed after microglia pre-exposure to αsynOs. Dopaminergic loss, motor, and cognitive performances were assessed. H-αSynOs triggered p129-αSyn deposition in SNpc neurons and microglia and spread to the striatum. Early and persistent neuroinflammatory responses were induced in the SNpc. In vitro, H-αSynOs inhibited the phagocytic function of microglia. H-αsynOs-infused rats displayed early mitochondrial loss and abnormalities in SNpc neurons, followed by a gradual nigrostriatal dopaminergic loss, associated with motor and cognitive impairment. The intracerebral inoculation of structurally characterized H-αSynOs provides a model of progressive PD neuropathology in rats, which will be helpful for testing neuroprotective therapies.
