Accumulation of pathological α-synuclein aggregates plays a major role in Parkinson's disease. Macroautophagy is a mechanism to degrade intracellular protein aggregates by wrapping them into autophagosomes, followed by fusion with lysosomes. We had previously shown that pharmacological activation of macroautophagy protects against α-synuclein-induced toxicity in human neurons. Here, we hypothesized that inhibition of macroautophagy would aggravate α-synuclein-induced cell death.Unexpectedly, inhibition of autophagosome formation by silencing of ATG5 protected from α-synuclein-induced toxicity. Therefore, we studied alternative cellular mechanisms to compensate for the loss of macroautophagy. ATG5 silencing did not affect the ubiquitin-proteasome system, chaperone systems, chaperone-mediated autophagy, or the unfolded protein response. However, ATG5 silencing increased the secretion of α-synuclein via exosomes. Blocking exosomal secretion exacerbated α-synuclein-induced cell death.We conclude that exosomal secretion of α-synuclein is increased after impaired formation of autophagosomes to reduce the intracellular α-synuclein burden. This compensatory mechanism prevents α-synuclein-induced neuronal cell death.
