Duplication of the SNCA gene (SNCADupl), linked to elevated levels of alpha-synuclein (aSyn), is a genetic cause of Parkinson's disease (PD). Our prior work with human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived midbrain neurons generated from PD SNCADupl patients identified neuritic deficits, accompanied by decreased levels of cytoskeletal element b-tubulin-III (bTubIII). To explore mechanisms underlying these effects in SNCADupl neurons, we employed CRISPR/Cas9 to generate isogenic control hiPSCs. Isogenic correction of SNCA dosage restored SNCADupl-induced neurite defects and bTubIII levels. Multi-omics analyses revealed SNCADupl-induced alterations in neuronal differentiation, with a notable downregulation of PAX6. Moreover, SNCADupl induced an upregulation of vimentin. Further characterization revealed heightened vimentin truncation, associated with altered distribution and organization. Similar changes in vimentin levels and truncation were observed in post-mortem putamen tissue from sporadic PD patients. Notably, targeting vimentin with okadaic acid and withaferin A restored bTubIII- and neurite-associated defects, suggesting its potential to prevent aSyn-mediated neuritic degeneration.
