Aggregation and deposition of α-synuclein (α-syn) in Lewy bodies within dopamine neurons of substantia nigra (SN) is the pathological hallmark of Parkinson’s disease (PD). These toxic α-syn aggregates are believed to propagate from neuron-to-neuron and spread the α-syn pathology throughout the brain beyond dopamine neurons in a prion-like manner. Targeting propagation of such α-syn aggregates is of high interest but requires identifying pathways involving in this process. Evidence from previous Alzheimer’s disease reports suggests that EGFR may be involved in the prion-like propagation and seeding of amyloid-β. We show here that EGFR regulates the uptake of exogenous α-syn-PFFs and the levels of endogenous α-syn in cell cultures and a mouse model of α-syn propagation, respectively. Thus, we tested the therapeutic potentials of AZD3759, a highly selective BBB-penetrating EGFR inhibitor, in a preclinical mouse model of α-syn propagation. AZD3759 decreases activated EGFR levels in the brain and reduces phosphorylated α-synuclein (pSyn) pathology in brain sections, including striatum and SN. As AZD3759 is already in the clinic, this paper’s results suggest a possible repositioning of AZD3759 as a disease-modifying approach for PD.
