Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder primarily characterized by the death of dopaminergic neurons that project from substantia nigra pars compacta. Although molecular bases for PD development are still little defined, extensive evidence human samples and animal models support involvement inflammation in onset or progression. However, exact trigger this response remains unclear. Here, we provide systematic review cellular mediators, i.e., microglia, astroglia endothelial cells. We also discuss genetic transcriptional control immunomodulatory role dopamine reactive oxygen species. Finally, summarize preclinical clinical approaches targeting neuroinflammation PD.

α-Synuclein, a key pathological component of Parkinson's disease, has been implicated in the activation innate and adaptive immune system. This includes microgliosis, increased inflammatory cytokines, infiltration T cells into CNS. More recently, peripherally circulating CD4 CD8 derived from individuals with disease have shown to produce Th1/Th2 cytokines response α-synuclein, suggesting there may be chronic memory cell present disease. To understand potential effects these α-syn associated responses we used an α-synuclein overexpression mouse model, cell-deficient mice, combination immunohistochemistry flow cytometry. In this study, found that midbrain mice leads upregulation major histocompatibility complex II (MHCII) protein on CNS myeloid as well IFNγ producing Interestingly, genetic deletion TCRβ or CD4, use immunosuppressive drug fingolimod, were able reduce MHCII α-synuclein.

Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative worldwide, and its treatment remains a big challenge. The pathogenesis of PD may be related to environmental genetic factors, exposure toxins gene mutations beginning brain lesions. identified mechanisms include α-synuclein aggregation, oxidative stress, ferroptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation, gut dysbiosis. interactions among these molecular complicate pose great challenges drug development. At same time, diagnosis detection are also one obstacles due long latency complex mechanism. Most conventional therapeutic interventions for possess limited effects have serious side effects, heightening need develop novel treatments this disease. In review, we systematically summarized pathogenesis, especially PD, classical research models, clinical diagnostic criteria, reported therapy strategies, as well newly candidates in trials. We shed light on components derived from medicinal plants that their treatment, with expectation provide summary outlook developing next generation drugs preparations therapy.

Alpha-synucleinopathy is postulated to be central both idiopathic rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder (iRBD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). Growing evidence suggests an association between the diminished clearance of α-synuclein glymphatic system dysfunction. However, accumulating primarily based on clinical data support dysfunction in patients with iRBD PD currently insufficient. This study aimed use diffusion tensor image analysis along perivascular space (DTI-ALPS) evaluate activity its relationship scores severity possible (piRBDs) those PD. Further, we validated correlation ALPS index prognosis longitudinally. Overall, 168 PD, 119 piRBDs, 129 healthy controls were enroled. Among them, 50 had been longitudinally reexamined. Patients exhibited a lower than piRBDs (P = 0.036), patient groups showed < 0.001 P 0.001). The elevated negatively correlated piRBD subgroups. Moreover, was cognitive decline longitudinal analyses. In conclusion, DTI-ALPS provided neuroimaging PD; however, potential assessing pathological progress α-synucleinopathies as indicator worth verifying.

Over past decades, several animal models have been developed to study PD.
