abstract = {Human dopaminergic system in general, and substantia nigra
(SN) neurons, in particular, are implicated in the
pathologies underlying the human brain aging. The interplay
between aberrations in the structural organization and
elemental composition of SN neuron bodies has recently
gained in importance as selected metals: Fe, Cu, Zn, Ca were
found to trigger oxidative-stress-mediated aberration in
their molecular assembly due to concomitant protein
(alpha-synuclein, tau-protein) aggregation, gliosis and
finally oxidative stress. In the present study, we
demonstrate an integrated approach to the analysis of the
structural organization, assembly, and metals’
accumulation in two distinct areas of SN: in the
neuro-melanin neurons and neuropil. By using the highly
brilliant source of PETRA III and the
Kirkpatrick-Baeznano-focus, large area histological brain
slices are scanned at the sub-neuronal resolution, taking
advantage of continuous motor movement and reduced
acquisition time. Elemental analysis with synchrotron
radiation based X-ray Fluorescence (SRXRF) is combined with
X-ray Phase Contrast Imaging (XPCI) to correct for inherent
aberrations in the samples’ density and thickness, often
referred to as the mass thickness effect. Based on the raw
SRXRF spectra, we observed the accumulation of P, S, Cl, K,
Ca, Fe, Cu and Zn predominantly in the SN neurons. However,
upon the mass thickness correction, the distributions of Cl
became significantly more uniform. Simultaneously with the
fluorescence signal, the Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS)
is recorded by a pixel detector positioned in the far-field,
enabling fast online computation of the dark field and
differential phase contrast (DPC). The data has demonstrated
the SN neurons and neuropil produces excellent contrast
which is due to their different mass density and scattering
strength, indicative of differences in local structure and
assembly therein. In all, the results show that combined
SRXRF-XPCI-SAXS experiments can robustly serve as a unique
tool for understanding the interplay between the chemical
composition and structural organization that may drive the
biochemical age-related processes occurring in the human
dopaminergic system.},
