The debate supports treating this as a validation program before ranking it as a therapy. Perturbation should move a proximal molecular phenotype, then a disease-relevant phenotype, in that order.
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.
