Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative characterized by motor dysfunction. Growing evidence has demonstrated that gut dysbiosis involved in occurrence, development and progression of PD. Numerous clinical trials have identified characteristics changed microbiota profiles, preclinical studies PD animal models indicated can influence onset via increasing intestinal permeability, aggravating neuroinflammation, aggregating abnormal levels α-synuclein fibrils, oxidative stress, decreasing neurotransmitter production. The be considered promising diagnostic therapeutic targets for PD, which regulated probiotics, psychobiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, postbiotics, fecal transplantation, diet modifications, Chinese medicine. This review summarizes recent PD-associated profiles functions, potential roles, mechanisms microbiota-targeted interventions Deciphering underlying roles will help interpret pathogenesis from new perspectives elucidate novel strategies

Gut microenvironmental changes as a potential trigger in Parkinson’s disease through the gut–brain axis

Journal of Biomedical Science, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 29(1)

Опубликована: Июль 27, 2022

Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative attributed to synergistic effects of genetic risk and environmental stimuli. Although PD characterized by motor dysfunction resulting from intraneuronal alpha-synuclein accumulations, termed Lewy bodies, dopaminergic neuronal degeneration in substantia nigra, multiple systems are involved process, heterogenous clinical presentation progression. Genetic predisposition regarding aberrant immune responses, abnormal protein aggregation, autophagolysosomal impairment, mitochondrial leads vulnerable neurons that sensitive triggers and, together, result degeneration. Neuropathology studies have shown that, at least some patients, bodies start enteric nervous system then spread central through gut–brain axis, suggesting contribution an altered gut microenvironment pathogenesis PD. A plethora evidence has revealed different microbiomes metabolites patients with compared unaffected controls. Chronic inflammation impaired intestinal barrier integrity been observed human mouse models These observations led hypothesis a potential trigger process genetically susceptible host. In this review, we will discuss complex interplay between factors microenvironmental changes contributing pathogenesis.

The Interplay between Gut Microbiota and Parkinson’s Disease: Implications on Diagnosis and Treatment

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 23(20), С. 12289 - 12289

Опубликована: Окт. 14, 2022

The bidirectional interaction between the gut microbiota (GM) and Central Nervous System, so-called brain axis (GMBA), deeply affects function has an important impact on development of neurodegenerative diseases. In Parkinson’s disease (PD), gastrointestinal symptoms often precede onset motor non-motor manifestations, alterations in GM composition accompany pathogenesis. Several studies have been conducted to unravel role dysbiosis intestinal permeability PD progression, but therapeutic diagnostic applications modifying approaches remain be fully elucidated. After a brief introduction involvement GMBA disease, we present evidence for leaky patients. According these data, then review potential GM-based signatures serve as biomarkers highlight emerging probiotics, prebiotics, antibiotics, dietary interventions, fecal transplantation supportive PD. Finally, analyze mutual influence commonly prescribed medications gut-microbiota, offer insights also nasal oral pathology, thus providing comprehensive up-to-date overview microbial features diagnosis treatment.

Mechanistic Insights Into Gut Microbiome Dysbiosis-Mediated Neuroimmune Dysregulation and Protein Misfolding and Clearance in the Pathogenesis of Chronic Neurodegenerative Disorders

Frontiers in Neuroscience, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 16

The human gut microbiota is a complex, dynamic, and highly diverse community of microorganisms. Beginning as early in utero fetal development continuing through birth to late-stage adulthood, the crosstalk between microbiome brain essential for modulating various metabolic, neurodevelopmental, immune-related pathways. Conversely, microbial dysbiosis – defined alterations richness relative abundances implicated pathogenesis several chronic neurological neurodegenerative disorders. Evidence from large-population cohort studies suggests that individuals with conditions have an altered composition well serum metabolomic profiles distinct those healthy population. Dysbiosis also linked psychiatric gastrointestinal complications comorbidities often associated prodromal phase Parkinson’s disease (PD) Alzheimer’s (AD). Studies identified potential mediators link Recent findings elucidated mechanisms pathology enteric nervous system prior onset neurodegeneration. This review highlights functional pathways mechanisms, particularly microbe-induced inflammation, protein misfolding, propagation disease-specific pathology, defective clearance, autoimmune dysregulation, linking In addition, we discuss how pathogenic transformation leads increased endotoxin production fewer beneficial metabolites, both which could trigger immune cell activation neuronal dysfunction. These can further disrupt intestinal barrier permeability, aggravate systemic pro-inflammatory state, impair blood–brain permeability recruit leading neuroinflammation Continued biomedical advances understanding microbiota-gut-brain axis will extend frontier disorders enable utilization novel diagnostic therapeutic strategies mitigate pathological burden these diseases.

Parkinson's disease (PD) etiology is associated with aggregation and accumulation of α-synuclein (α-syn) proteins in midbrain dopaminergic neurons. Emerging evidence suggests that certain subtypes PD, α-syn aggregates originate the gut subsequently spread to brain. However, mechanisms instigate have remained elusive.
