Microglia as modulators of exosomal alpha-synuclein transmission.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Recent researches regarding to exosomal involvement in alpha-synuclein (α-syn) transmission relating to the pathological process of Parkinson's disease (PD) have attracted considerable attention. It is highly desirable to make clear the diffusion process and cellular uptake of α-syn-associated exosomes and the underlying mechanism of exosomes-involved communication in the synucleinopathy pathogenesis. To determine the contribution of α-syn-associated exosomes to the initiation and progression of PD, plasma exosomes derived from PD patients were stereotaxically injected into the striatum of mice brains. Exosomes extracted from plasma diagnosed with PD contained monomeric and oligomeric α-syn. Here, we found that microglia display a high potency for uptake of plasma exosomes derived from PD patients, and therefore could be activated by exogenous exosomes in vitro and in vivo. In addition, immunofluorescent double staining verified the transfer of exogenous human exosomal α-syn to neurons. The release of human exosomal α-syn from microglia may facilitate this propagation. Finally, we described a mechanism underlying this potential role of microglia in the transmission of exosomal α-syn. Specifically, exogenous exosomes were found to dysregulate autophagy of the BV2 mouse microglia cell line with presentation of increased accumulation of intracellular α-syn and accelerated secretion of α-syn into extracellular space. These results suggest that microglia play a crucial role in the transmission of α-syn via exosomal pathways, in additional to idea that the progression of PD may be altered by the modulation of exosome secretion and/or microglial states.
