N6-methyladenosine (m6A) hypermethylation of SNCA mRNA in substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons stabilises the transcript, increases alpha-synuclein protein levels, and lowers the concentration threshold for protein aggregation into Lewy bodies. Pharmacological inhibition of METTL3 (the primary m6A writer) should reduce SNCA mRNA stability, lower alpha-synuclein protein levels, and decrease aggregation in PD model neurons.
m6A-dependent control of alpha-synuclein transcript fate and aggregation kinetics should produce a measurable proximal phenotype before late disease pathology. The decisive test is dopaminergic-neuron perturbation of m6A writers/erasers/readers with RNA stability, translation, and Lewy-body-like aggregation assays.
