Abstract
OBJECTIVE Parkinson's disease (PD) is increasingly recognized for its non-motor symptoms, among which emotional disturbances and sleep disorders frequently co-occur. The commonality of neuroanatomical underpinnings for these symptoms is not fully understood. This study is intended to investigate the differences in gray matter volume (GMV) between PD patients with anxiety (A-PD) and those without anxiety (NA-PD). Additionally, it seeks to uncover the interplay between GMV variations and the manifestations of anxiety and sleep quality. METHODS A total of 37 A-PD patients, 43 NA-PD patients, and 36 healthy controls (HCs) were recruited, all of whom underwent voxel-based morphometry (VBM) analysis. Group differences in GMV were assessed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Partial correlation between GMV, anxiety symptom, and sleep quality were analyzed. Mediation analysis explored the mediating role of the volume of GMV-distinct brain regions on the relationship between sleep quality and anxiety within the PD patient cohort. RESULTS A-PD patients showed significantly lower GMV in the fusiform gyrus (FG) and right inferior temporal gyrus (ITG) compared to HCs and NA-PD patients. GMV in these regions correlated negatively with Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) scores (right ITG: r = -0.690, p < 0.001; left FG: r = -0.509, p < 0.001; right FG: r = -0.576, p < 0.001) and positively with sleep quality in PD patients (right ITG: r = 0.592, p < 0.001; left FG: r = 0.356, p = 0.001; right FG: r = 0.470, p < 0.001). Mediation analysis revealed that GMV in the FG and right ITG mediated the relationship between sleep quality and anxiety symptoms, with substantial effect sizes accounted for by the right ITG (25.74%) and FG (left: 11.90%, right: 15.59%). CONCLUSION This study has shed further light on the relationship between sleep disturbances and anxiety symptoms in PD patients. Given the pivotal roles of the FG and the ITG in facial recognition and the recognition of emotion-related facial expressions, our findings indicate that compromised sleep quality, under the pathological conditions of PD, may exacerbate the reduction in GMV within these regions, impairing the recognition of emotional facial expressions and thereby intensifying anxiety symptoms.

Alpha-synuclein-induced stress sensitivity renders the Parkinson's disease brain susceptible to neurodegeneration. Acta Neuropathol Commun 2024; 12:100. [PMID: 38886854 PMCID: PMC11181569 DOI: 10.1186/s40478-024-01797-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 05/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024] Open
Abstract
A link between chronic stress and Parkinson's disease (PD) pathogenesis is emerging. Ample evidence demonstrates that the presynaptic neuronal protein alpha-synuclein (asyn) is closely tied to PD pathogenesis. However, it is not known whether stress system dysfunction is present in PD, if asyn is involved, and if, together, they contribute to neurodegeneration. To address these questions, we assess stress axis function in transgenic rats overexpressing full-length wildtype human asyn (asyn BAC rats) and perform multi-level stress and PD phenotyping following chronic corticosterone administration. Stress signaling, namely corticotropin-releasing factor, glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptor gene expression, is also examined in post-mortem PD patient brains. Overexpression of human wildtype asyn leads to HPA axis dysregulation in rats, while chronic corticosterone administration significantly aggravates nigrostriatal degeneration, serine129 phosphorylated asyn (pS129) expression and neuroinflammation, leading to phenoconversion from a prodromal to an overt motor PD phenotype. Interestingly, chronic corticosterone in asyn BAC rats induces a robust, twofold increase in pS129 expression in the hypothalamus, the master regulator of the stress response, while the hippocampus, both a regulator and a target of the stress response, also demonstrates elevated pS129 asyn levels and altered markers of stress signalling. Finally, defective hippocampal stress signalling is mirrored in human PD brains and correlates with asyn expression levels. Taken together, our results link brain stress system dysregulation with asyn and provide evidence that elevated circulating glucocorticoids can contribute to asyn-induced neurodegeneration, ultimately triggering phenoconversion from prodromal to overt PD.

Abstract
We aimed to explore the subregional atrophy patterns of the amygdala and hippocampus in Parkinson's disease (PD) with depression and their correlation with the severity of the depressive symptom. MRI scans were obtained for 34 depressed PD patients (DPD), 22 nondepressed PD patients (NDPD), and 28 healthy controls (HC). Amygdala and hippocampal subregions were automatically segmented, and the intergroup volume difference was compared. The relationships between the volumes of the subregions and depression severity were investigated. Logistic analysis and Receiver operator characteristic curve were used to find independent predictors of DPD. Compared with the HC group, atrophy of the bilateral lateral nucleus, left accessory basal nucleus, right cortical nucleus, right central nucleus, and right medial nucleus subregions of the amygdala were visible in the DPD group, while the right lateral nucleus subregion of the amygdala was smaller in the DPD group than in the NDPD group. The DPD group showed significant atrophy in the left molecular layer, left GC-DG, left CA3, and left CA4 subregions compared with the HC group for hippocampal subregion volumes. Also, the right lateral nuclei volume and disease duration were independent predictors of DPD. To sum up, DPD patients showed atrophy in multiple amygdala subregions and left asymmetric hippocampal subregions. The decreased amygdala and hippocampal subregion volumes were correlated with the severity of depressive symptoms. The volume of right lateral nuclei and disease duration could be used as a biomarker to detect DPD.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD), a widespread neurodegenerative disorder, often coexists with mood disorders. Degeneration of serotonergic neurons in brainstem raphe nuclei have been linked to depression and anxiety. Additionally, the locus coeruleus and its noradrenergic neurons are among the first areas to degenerate in PD and contribute to stress, emotional memory, motor, sensory, and autonomic symptoms. Another brain region of interest is habenula, which is especially related to anti-reward processing, and its function has recently been linked to PD and to mood-related symptoms. There are several neuroimaging studies that investigated role of the habenula in mood disorders. Differences in habenular size and hemispheric symmetry were found in healthy controls compared to individuals with mood disorders. The lateral habenula, as a link between the dopaminergic and serotonergic systems, is thought to contribute to depressive symptoms in PD. However, there is only one imaging study about role of habenula in mood disorders in PD, although the relationship between PD and mood disorders is known. There is little known about habenula pathology in PD but given these observations, the question arises whether habenular dysfunction could play a role in PD and the development of PD-related mood disorders. In this review, we evaluate neuroimaging techniques and studies that investigated the habenula in the context of PD and mood disorders. Future studies are important to understand habenula's role in PD patients with mood disorders. Thus, new potential diagnostic and treatment opportunities would be found for mood disorders in PD.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. Accurate PD diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment and prognosis but can be challenging, especially at early disease stages. This study aimed to develop and evaluate an explainable deep learning model for PD classification from multimodal neuroimaging data. The model was trained using one of the largest collections of T1-weighted and diffusion-tensor magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) datasets. A total of 1264 datasets from eight different studies were collected, including 611 PD patients and 653 healthy controls (HC). These datasets were pre-processed and non-linearly registered to the MNI PD25 atlas. Six imaging maps describing the macro- and micro-structural integrity of brain tissues complemented with age and sex parameters were used to train a convolutional neural network (CNN) to classify PD/HC subjects. Explainability of the model's decision-making was achieved using SmoothGrad saliency maps, highlighting important brain regions. The CNN was trained using a 75%/10%/15% train/validation/test split stratified by diagnosis, sex, age, and study, achieving a ROC-AUC of 0.89, accuracy of 80.8%, specificity of 82.4%, and sensitivity of 79.1% on the test set. Saliency maps revealed that diffusion tensor imaging data, especially fractional anisotropy, was more important for the classification than T1-weighted data, highlighting subcortical regions such as the brainstem, thalamus, amygdala, hippocampus, and cortical areas. The proposed model, trained on a large multimodal MRI database, can classify PD patients and HC subjects with high accuracy and clinically reasonable explanations, suggesting that micro-structural brain changes play an essential role in the disease course.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study is to investigate differences in gray matter volume and cortical complexity between Parkinson's disease with depression (PDD) patients and Parkinson's disease without depression (PDND) patients. METHODS A total of 41 PDND patients, 36 PDD patients, and 38 healthy controls (HC) were recruited and analyzed by Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and surface-based morphometry (SBM). Differences in gray matter volume and cortical complexity were compared using the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and correlated with the Hamilton Depression Scale-17 (HAMD-17) scores. RESULTS PDD patients exhibited significant cortical atrophy in various regions, including bilateral medial parietal-occipital-temporal lobes, right dorsolateral temporal lobes, bilateral parahippocampal gyrus, and bilateral hippocampus, compared to HC and PDND groups. A negative correlation between the GMV of left precuneus and HAMD-17 scores in the PDD group tended to be significant (r = -0.318, p = 0.059). Decreased gyrification index was observed in the bilateral insular and dorsolateral temporal cortex. However, there were no significant differences found in fractal dimension and sulcal depth. CONCLUSION Our research shows extensive cortical structural changes in the insular cortex, parietal-occipital-temporal lobes, and hippocampal regions in PDD. This provides a morphological perspective for understanding the pathophysiological mechanism underlying depression in Parkinson's disease.

Accentuated Paralimbic and Reduced Mesolimbic D 2/3-Impulsivity Associations in Parkinson's Disease. J Neurosci 2023; 43:8733-8743.

Abstract
Impulsivity is a behavioral trait that is elevated in many neuropsychiatric disorders. Parkinson's disease (PD) patients can exhibit a specific pattern of reward-seeking impulsive-compulsive behaviors (ICBs), as well as more subtle changes to generalized trait impulsivity. Prior studies in healthy controls (HCs) suggest that trait impulsivity is regulated by D2/3 autoreceptors in mesocorticolimbic circuits. While altered D2/3 binding is noted in ICB+ PD patients, there is limited prior assessment of the trait impulsivity-D2/3 relationship in PD, and no prior direct comparison with patterns in HCs. We examined 54 PD (36 M; 18 F) and 31 sex- and age-matched HC (21 M; 10 F) subjects using [18F]fallypride, a high-affinity D2/3 receptor ligand, to measure striatal and extrastriatal D2/3 nondisplaceable binding potential (BPND). Subcortical and cortical assessment exclusively used ROI or exploratory-voxelwise methods, respectively. All completed the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale, a measure of trait impulsivity. Subcortical ROI analyses indicated a negative relationship between trait impulsivity and D2/3 BPND in the ventral striatum and amygdala of HCs but not in PD. By contrast, voxelwise methods demonstrated a positive trait impulsivity-D2/3 BPND correlation in ventral frontal olfactocentric-paralimbic cortex of subjects with PD but not HCs. Subscale analysis also highlighted different aspects of impulsivity, with significant interactions between group and motor impulsivity in the ventral striatum, and attentional impulsivity in the amygdala and frontal paralimbic cortex. These results suggest that dopamine functioning in distinct regions of the mesocorticolimbic circuit influence aspects of impulsivity, with the relative importance of regional dopamine functions shifting in the neuropharmacological context of PD.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT The biological determinants of impulsivity have broad clinical relevance, from addiction to neurodegenerative disorders. Here, we address biomolecular distinctions in Parkinson's disease. This is the first study to evaluate a large cohort of Parkinson's disease patients and age-matched healthy controls with a measure of trait impulsivity and concurrent [18F]fallypride PET, a method that allows quantification of D2/3 receptors throughout the mesocorticolimbic network. We demonstrate widespread differences in the trait impulsivity-dopamine relationship, including (1) loss of subcortical relationships present in the healthy brain and (2) emergence of a new relationship in a limbic cortical area. This illustrates the loss of mechanisms of behavioral regulation present in the healthy brain while suggesting a potential compensatory response and target for future investigation.

Cortical gyrification pattern of depression in Parkinson's disease: a neuroimaging marker for disease severity? Front Aging Neurosci 2023; 15:1241516. [PMID: 38035271 PMCID: PMC10682087 DOI: 10.3389/fnagi.2023.1241516] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Although the study of the neuroanatomical correlates of depression in Parkinson's Disease (PD) is gaining increasing interest, up to now the cortical gyrification pattern of PD-related depression has not been reported. This study was conducted to investigate the local gyrification index (LGI) in PD patients with depression, and its associations with the severity of depression. Methods LGI values, as measured using FreeSurfer software, were compared between 59 depressed PD (dPD), 27 non-depressed PD (ndPD) patients and 43 healthy controls. The values were also compared between ndPD and mild-depressed PD (mi-dPD), moderate-depressed PD (mo-dPD) and severe-depressed PD (se-dPD) patients as sub-group analyses. Furthermore, we evaluated the correlation between LGI values and depressive symptom scores within dPD group. Results Compared to ndPD, the dPD patients exhibited decreased LGI in the left parietal, the right superior-frontal, posterior cingulate and paracentral regions, and the LGI values within these areas negatively correlated with the severity of depression. Specially, reduced gyrification was observed in mo-dPD and involving a larger region in se-dPD, but not in mi-dPD group. Conclusion The present study demonstrated that cortical gyrification is decreased within specific brain regions among PD patients with versus without depression, and those changes were associated with the severity of depression. Our findings suggested that cortical gyrification might be a potential neuroimaging marker for the severity of depression in patients with PD.

Oral Administration of Lactobacillus Inhibits the Permeability of Blood-Brain and Gut Barriers in a Parkinsonism Model. Behav Neurol 2023; 2023:6686037. [PMID: 38025189 PMCID: PMC10653970 DOI: 10.1155/2023/6686037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 09/26/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
It has recently been shown that the administration of probiotics can modulate the microbiota-gut-brain axis and may have favorable effects in models of Parkinson's disease. In this study, we used a hemiparkinsonism model induced by the neurotoxin 6-OHDA to evaluate the efficacy of the administration of a four-week administration of a mixture containing the microorganisms Lactobacillus fermentum LH01, Lactobacillus reuteri LH03, and Lactobacillus plantarum LH05. The hemiparkinsonism model induced an increase in rotations in the apomorphine test, along with a decrease in the latency time to fall in the rotarod test on days 14 and 21 after surgery, respectively. The administration of probiotics was sufficient to improve this condition. The model also showed a decrease in tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactivity in the striatum and the number of labeled cells in the substantia nigra, both of which were counteracted by the administration of probiotics. The permeability of the blood-brain barrier was increased in the model, but this effect was reversed by the probiotics for both brain regions. The gut barrier was permeated with the model, and this effect was reversed and dropped to lower levels than the control group after the administration of probiotics. Finally, lipid peroxidation showed a pattern of differences similar to that of permeabilities. The inhibition of the permeability of the blood-brain and gut barriers mediated by the administration of probiotics will likely provide protection by downregulating oxidative stress, thus affecting the rotarod test performance.

Abstract
Regular physical activity (PA) has been suggested as effective disease preventable strategies for Parkinson's disease (PD). Depression often precedes PD but whether PA also would reduce the risk of PD in patients with depression has not been known. The aim of study is to examine the association of regular PA with risk of PD among patients with depressive disorder. A total of 1,342,282 patients with depressive disorder were identified from a nationwide health screening cohort from 2010 to 2016. The exposure was changes in pattern of regular PA between pre-and post-diagnosis of depressive disorder, categorized as four groups; 1) no PA, 2) increased PA, 3) decreased PA, and 4) maintaining PA. The outcome was risk of incident PD, calculated using multivariate adjusted Cox proportional hazards regressions according to the PA categorization. Total of 8901 PD cases (0.66%) were developed during 5.3 years of follow-up period. Maintaining PA group was associated with the lowest risk of PD (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 0.89, 95% CI 0.83-0.97) among all other PA groups with depressive disorder (with no PA group as reference). Otherwise, decreased PA group significantly increased the risk of PD (aHR 1.10, 95% CI 1.03-1.16). Those who maintained PA before and after diagnosis of depressive disorder were associated with lower risk of incident PD.

Abstract
During the caudo-rostral progression of Lewy pathology, the amygdala is involved relatively early in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, lesser is known about the volumetric differences at the amygdala subdivisions, although the evidence mainly implicates the olfactory amygdala. We aimed to investigate the volumetric differences between the amygdala's nuclear and sectoral subdivisions in the PD cognitive impairment continuum compared to healthy controls (HC). The volumes of nine nuclei of the amygdala were estimated with FreeSurfer (nuclear parcellation-NP) from T1-weighted images of PD patients with normal cognition (PD-CN), PD with mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI), PD with dementia (PD-D), and HC. The appropriate nuclei were then merged to obtain three sectors of the amygdala (sectoral parcellation-SP). The nuclear and sectoral volumes were compared among the four groups and between the hyposmic and normosmic PD patients. There was a significant difference in the total amygdala volume among the four groups. In terms of nuclei, the bilateral cortico-amygdaloid transition area (CAT) and sectors superficial cortex-like region (sCLR) volumes of PD-MCI and PD-D were less than those of the PD-CN and HC. A linear discriminant analysis revealed that left CAT and left sCLR volumes classified the PD-CN and cognitively impaired PD (PD-CI: PD-MCI plus PD-D) with 90.7% accuracy according to NP and 85.2% accuracy to SP. Similarly, left CAT and sCLR volumes correctly identified the hyposmic and normosmic PD with 64.8% and 61.1% accuracies. Notably, the left olfactory amygdala volume successfully discriminated cognitive impairment in PD and could be used as neuroimaging-based support for PD-CI diagnosis.

Abstract
Synucleinopathies are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by alpha-synuclein (αSyn) accumulation in neurons or glial cells, including Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and multiple system atrophy (MSA). αSyn-related pathology plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of synucleinopathies leading to the progressive loss of neuronal populations in specific brain regions and the development of motor and non-motor symptoms. Anxiety is among the most frequent non-motor symptoms in patients with PD, but it remains underrecognized and undertreated, which significantly reduces the quality of life for patients. Anxiety is defined as a neuropsychiatric complication with characteristics such as nervousness, loss of concentration, and sweating due to the anticipation of impending danger. In patients with PD, neuropathology in the amygdala, a central region in the anxiety and fear circuitry, may contribute to the high prevalence of anxiety. Studies in animal models reported αSyn pathology in the amygdala together with alteration of anxiety or fear learning response. Therefore, understanding the progression, extent, and specifics of pathology in the anxiety and fear circuitry in synucleinopathies will suggest novel approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of neuropsychiatric symptoms. Here, we provide an overview of studies that address neuropsychiatric symptoms in synucleinopathies. We offer insights into anxiety and fear circuitry in animal models and the current implications for therapeutic intervention. In summary, it is apparent that anxiety is not a bystander symptom in these disorders but reflects early pathogenic mechanisms in the cortico-limbic system which may even contribute as a driver to disease progression.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Depression is the most dominant non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD), with a prevalence of up to 50%, and can lead to a range of psychiatric and psychological problems that can affect quality of life and overall functioning. While several randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have tested the effect of certain non-pharmacological interventions on the outcome of PD depression symptoms, the comparative benefits and harms of these remain unclear. We will conduct a systematic review and network meta-analysis to compare the efficacy and safety of different non-pharmacological interventions for patients with PD depression. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We will search PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, Embase, Google Scholar, the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, WanFang Data and the Chongqing VIP Database from their inception date to June 2022. The studies will be limited to results published in English or Chinese. The primary outcomes will be the changes in the depressive symptoms, while secondary outcomes will include adverse effects and the quality of life. Two researchers will screen those documents that meet the inclusion criteria, extracting data according to the preset table and evaluating the methodological quality of the included studies using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2.0 Tool. The STATA and ADDIS statistical software will be used to conduct a systematic review and network meta-analysis. A traditional pairwise meta-analysis and a network meta-analysis will be performed to compare the efficacy and safety of different non-pharmacological interventions, ensuring the robustness of the findings. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation system will be used to assess the overall quality of the body of evidence associated with the main results. The publication bias assessment will be conducted using comparison-adjusted funnel plots. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION All the data for this study will be extracted from published RCTs. As a literature-based systematic review, this study does not require ethical approval. The results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals and national/international conference presentations. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42022347772.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized mainly by motor dysfunctions due to the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons. However, PD patients experience a multitude of debilitating non-motor symptoms, including depression, which may have deleteriously detrimental effects on life. Depression is multifactorial and exhibits a bimodal progression in PD, but its underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. Studies demonstrating the pathophysiology of depression in PD and the specific treatment strategies for depression-like symptoms in PD patients are largely lacking, often underrated, under-recognized and, consequently, inadequately/under-treated. Nevertheless, reports suggest that the incidence of depression is approximately 20-30% of PD patients and may precede the onset of motor symptoms. Diagnosing depression in PD becomes difficult due to the clinical overlap in symptomatology between the two diseases, and the nigrostriatal dysfunction alone is insufficient to explain depressive symptoms in PD. Therefore, the current study provides an overview of the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of depression in PD and new insights into developing current antidepressant strategies to treat depression in PD. This review will identify and understand the molecular pathological mechanisms of depression in PD that will fundamentally help tailoring therapeutic interventions for depressive symptoms in PD.

Abstract
Neuroimaging studies suggest a pivotal role of amygdala dysfunction in non-motor symptoms (NMS) of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the relationship between amygdala subregions (the centromedial (CMA), basolateral (BLA) and superficial amygdala (SFA)) and NMS has not been delineated. We used resting-state functional MRI to examine the PD-related alterations in functional connectivity for amygdala subregions. The left three subregions and right BLA exhibited between-group differences, and were commonly hypo-connected with the frontal, temporal, insular cortex, and putamen in PD. Each subregion displayed distinct hypoconnectivity with the limbic systems. Partial least-squares analysis revealed distinct amygdala subregional involvement in diverse NMS. Hypo-connectivity of all four subregions was associated with emotion, pain, olfaction, and cognition. Hypo-connectivity of the left SFA was associated with sleepiness. Our findings highlight the hypofunction of the amygdala subregions in PD and their preliminary associations with NMS, providing new insights into the pathogenesis of NMS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depressive symptoms and cognitive impairment are common psychiatric conditions and often co-occur in older adults. Network analysis has been widely used in exploring the inter-connections between psychiatric symptoms. The aim of this study was to explore the network model of depressive symptoms and cognitive performance, and their association with quality of life in people aged 65 years or above based on the 2017-2018 wave of Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS). METHOD Global cognitive performance, depressive symptoms, and global quality of life (QoL) were measured using the validated Chinese version of the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), the 10-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Short Depression Scale (CES-D), and the World Health Organization Quality of Life-brief version (WHOQOL-BREF), respectively. Central symptoms and bridge symptoms were identified via strength and bridge strength, respectively. The flow network was used to identify symptoms directly related to QoL. Network stability was examined using the case dropping bootstrap method. RESULTS A total of 9023 participants were included in the network analysis. CESD3 "Feeling blue/depressed", CESD4 "Everything was an effort", and At_C "Attention and Calculation" were the central (influential) symptoms that had the highest strength value. Three bridge symptoms (i.e., Nam "Naming", CESD2 "Difficulty with concentrating", and Lan "Language") were also identified. CESD10 "Sleep disturbances" had the strongest direct connection to QoL. CONCLUSIONS This exploratory study highlights the inter-relationships between cognitive performance and depressive symptoms in older adults in the general population. Interventions targeting bridge symptoms have the potential to alleviate depressive and cognitive symptoms in this population. Furthermore, improving sleep quality in older adults may reduce the negative impact of depression and cognition decline on QoL.

Front Neurosci 2023; 17:1101623. [PMID: 36908791 PMCID: PMC9992430 DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2023.1101623] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2022] [Accepted: 02/08/2023] [Indexed: 02/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Depression in Parkinson's disease (PD) is identified and diagnosed with behavioral observations and neuropsychological measurements. Due to the large overlaps of depression and PD symptoms in clinical manifestations, it is challenging for neurologists to distinguish and diagnose depression in PD (DPD) in the early clinical stage of PD. The advancement in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology provides potential clinical utility in the diagnosis of DPD. This study aimed to explore the alterations of functional and structural MRI in DPD to produce neuroimaging markers in discriminating DPD from non-depressed PD (NDPD) and healthy controls (HC). Methods We recruited 20 DPD, 37 NDPD, and 41 HC matched in age, gender, and education years. The patients' diagnosis with PD was de novo. The differences in regional homogeneity (ReHo), voxel-wise degree centrality (DC), cortical thickness, cortical gray matter (GM) volumes, and subcortical GM volumes among these groups were detected, and the relationship between altered indicators and depression was analyzed. Moreover, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to assess the diagnostic efficacy of altered indicators for DPD. Results Compared to NDPD and HC, DPD showed significantly increased ReHo in left dorsolateral superior frontal gyrus (DSFG) and DC in left inferior temporal gyrus (ITG), and decreased GM volumes in left temporal lobe and right Amygdala. Among these altered indicators, ReHo value in left DSFG and DC values in left ITG and left DSFG were significantly correlated with the severity of depression in PD patients. Comparing DPD and NDPD, the ROC analysis revealed a better area under the curve value for the combination of ReHo value in left DSFG and DC value in left ITG, followed by each independent indicator. However, the difference is not statistically significant. Conclusion This study demonstrates that both functional and structural impairments are present in DPD. Among them, ReHo value of left DSFG and DC value of left ITG are equally well suited for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of DPD, with a combination of them being slightly preferable. The multimodal MRI technique represents a promising approach for the classification of subjects with PD.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, resulting in clinical symptoms, including bradykinesia, resting tremor, rigidity, and postural instability. The pathophysiological changes in PD are inextricably linked to the subcortical structures. Shape analysis is a method for quantifying the volume or surface morphology of structures using magnetic resonance imaging. In this review, we discuss the recent advances in morphological analysis techniques for studying the subcortical structures in PD in vivo. This approach includes available pipelines for volume and shape analysis, focusing on the morphological features of volume and surface area.

Abstract
Background Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPSs) belong to a category of non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD), which seriously compromise the quality of life and prognosis of PD. This study focused on the correlations between NPSs, free radicals, neuroinflammatory factors, and neuropathological proteins in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in patients with PD, aiming to provide insights into the potential mechanisms and therapeutic target for PD with NPSs (PD-NPSs). Methods In total, 129 patients with PD were enrolled and assessed by the Neuropsychiatric Symptoms Inventory (NPI); they were divided into the PD-NPSs group (75 patients) and PD with no NPSs (PD-nNPSs) group (54 patients). The levels of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and nitric oxide (NO), and hydroxyl radical (·OH), anti-oxidative enzyme, neuroinflammatory factors, and neuropathological proteins in CSF from patients with PD were measured. The levels of the above variables were compared between PD-NPSs and PD-nNPSs groups, and correlation analyses among the above variables were conducted. Results (1) The levels of H2O2 and NO in CSF from the PD-NPSs group were significantly elevated compared with the PD-nNPSs group (p = 0.001), and NPI score positively correlated with the levels of H2O2 and NO (r = 0.283, P = 0.001; r = 0.231, P = 0.008). Reversely, total superoxide dismutase (tSOD) activity in CSF from the PD-NPSs group was significantly reduced compared with the PD-nNPSs group (p = 0.011), and negatively correlated with NPI score (r = -0.185, p = 0.036). (2) The tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α level in CSF from the PD-NPSs group was significantly decreased compared with the PD-nNPSs group (p = 0.002) and negatively correlated with NPI score (r = -0.211, p = 0.016). (3) The total tau (T-tau) level in CSF from the PD-NPSs group was significantly higher than in the PD-nNPSs group (p = 0.014) and positively correlated with the NPI score (r = 0.167, p = 0.060). (4) The levels of H2O2 and NO positively correlated with the T-tau level in CSF from the PD-NPSs group (r = 0.183, p = 0.039; r = 0.251, P = 0.004), and the levels of TNF-α and T-tau showed a negative correlation (r = -0.163, p = 0.067). Conclusion Oxidative distress characterized by the elevations of H2O2 and NO levels may closely correlate with the neurodegeneration in brain regions related to PD-NPSs. Thus, therapeutic antioxidants may become an important target for PD-NPSs therapy.

Abstract
Depression, a leading cause of disability worldwide, is also the most prevalent psychiatric problem among Parkinson disease patients. Both depression and Parkinson disease are associated with microstructural anomalies in the brain. Diffusion tensor imaging techniques have been developed to characterize the abnormalities in cerebral tissue. We included 11 studies investigating brain microstructural abnormalities in depressed Parkinson's disease patients. The included studies found alterations to essential brain structural networks, including impaired network integrity for specific cortical regions, such as the temporal and frontal cortices. Additionally, findings indicate that microstructural changes in specific limbic structures, such as the prefronto-temporal regions and connecting white matter pathways, are altered in depressed Parkinson's disease compared to non-depressed Parkinson's disease and healthy controls. There remain inconsistencies between studies reporting DTI measures and depression severity in Parkinson disease participants. Additional research evaluating underlying neurobiological relationships between major depression, depressed Parkinson's disease, and non-depressed Parkinson's disease is required to disentangle further mechanisms that underlie depression and related somatic symptoms, in Parkinson disease.

Abstract
Cancer and its accompanying treatments can lead to numerous physical and emotional concerns, including subclinical or clinical depression and anxiety, which could significantly impact one's well-being, quality of life, and survival. A large number of studies have elucidated that neuroinflammation is associated with depression. Here, we report the hippocampal pathological changes and depressive behaviors of a heterotopic breast cancer transplantation mouse model; hence, a heterotopic 4T1 breast cancer transplantation mouse model was established. Assessment of cognitive and locomotive functions of the experimental animals was conducted using open- and closed-field tests, including a tail suspension test. Expression levels of monoaminergic system markers, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), pro-inflammatory cytokines, and nuclear factor-kappa B (NFκB) in the hippocampus and serum were detected using immunochemistry and western and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay analysis. A comparison of the differences between model and control animals was performed. As per our findings, 4T1 tumor-bearing mice displayed cancer-related anorexia/cachexia with significant reductions in the travel distance and the total number of squares crossed in the open- and closed-field tests. Additionally, the 4T1 tumor-bearing mice withstood a more extended period of immobility during the tail suspension test. Immunohistochemistry studies revealed reduced levels of serotonin, norepinephrine, and BDNF in the hippocampus and serum. Elevated levels of NFκB and pro-inflammatory cytokines in the hippocampus were also observed. These findings suggest that hippocampal inflammation may have played an important role in the neurological function and depressive behavior in heterotopic 4T1 breast cancer transplantation mice.

Abstract
Depression, with an estimated prevalence of about 40% is a most common neuropsychiatric disorder in Parkinson disease (PD), with a negative impact on quality of life, cognitive impairment and functional disability, yet the underlying neurobiology is poorly understood. Depression in PD (DPD), one of its most common non-motor symptoms, can precede the onset of motor symptoms but can occur at any stage of the disease. Although its diagnosis is based on standard criteria, due to overlap with other symptoms related to PD or to side effects of treatment, depression is frequently underdiagnosed and undertreated. DPD has been related to a variety of pathogenic mechanisms associated with the underlying neurodegenerative process, in particular dysfunction of neurotransmitter systems (dopaminergic, serotonergic and noradrenergic), as well as to disturbances of cortico-limbic, striato-thalamic-prefrontal, mediotemporal-limbic networks, with disruption in the topological organization of functional mood-related, motor and other essential brain network connections due to alterations in the blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) fluctuations in multiple brain areas. Other hypothetic mechanisms involve neuroinflammation, neuroimmune dysregulation, stress hormones, neurotrophic, toxic or metabolic factors. The pathophysiology and pathogenesis of DPD are multifactorial and complex, and its interactions with genetic factors, age-related changes, cognitive disposition and other co-morbidities awaits further elucidation.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease that is often accompanied by disorders such as depression, psychotic disorders, cognitive disorders, anxiety disorders, sleep disorders, impulse control disorders. The aim of the study was to review the literature and present the characteristics of neuropsychiatric disorders occurring in people suffering from Parkinson’s disease, with the specification of the above-mentioned disorders.
Material and method: The literature available on the PubMed platform from 1986 to 2022 was reviewed using the following keywords: Parkinson’s disease, depression, anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, sleep disorders, cognitive disorders, impulse control disorders. Original studies, reviews, meta-analyzes and internet sources were analyzed.
Results: The above-mentioned neuropsychiatric disorders appear with different frequency among people suffering from Parkinson’s disease and occur at different times of its duration or even precede its onset for many years. The non-motor symptoms in the form of depressed mood, energy loss or changes in the rhythm of the day may result in a delay of appropriate therapy and thus in complications. Neuropathological changes in the course of Parkinson’s disease as well as dopaminergic drugs used in its therapy influence the development of neuropsychiatric disorders.
Conclusions: In order to avoid misdiagnosis, practitioners should use, e.g. scales intended for patients with Parkinson’s disease. To prevent the consequences of the aforementioned disease entities, methods of early diagnosis, determination of risk factors and standardization of the treatment process must be determined. Consistent care for patients with Parkinson’s disease is significant, not only in the neurological field, but also in the psychiatric one.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mood symptoms are common features of Parkinson's disease (PD) and essential tremor (ET) and have been linked to worse cognition. The goals of the present study were to compare the severity of anxiety, apathy, and depressive symptoms in PD, ET, and healthy controls (HC) and to examine differential relationships between mood and cognition. METHOD Older adults with idiopathic PD (N = 448), ET (N = 128), or HC (N = 136) completed a multi-domain neuropsychological assessment consisting of memory, executive function, and attention/working memory domains. Participants also completed self-reported mood measures. Between-group differences in mood and cognition were assessed, and hierarchical regression models were conducted to examine relationships between mood and cognition in each group. RESULTS Relative to the HC group, the PD and ET groups reported more mood symptoms and scored lower across all cognitive measures. There were no differences between the two movement disorder groups. Mood variables explained 3.9-13.7% of the total variance in cognitive domains, varying by disease group. For PD, apathy was the only unique predictor of executive function (β = -.114, p = .05), and trait anxiety was the only unique predictor of attention/working memory (β = -.188, p < .05). For ET, there were no unique predictors, though the overall models significantly predicted performance in the executive function and attention/working memory domains. CONCLUSIONS In a large cohort of ET and PD, we observed that the two groups had similar self-reported mood symptoms. Mood symptoms were differentially associated with cognition in PD versus ET. In PD, increased apathy was associated with worse executive function and higher trait anxiety predicted worse attention/working memory. For ET, there were no unique predictors, though the overall mood symptom severity was related to cognition. Our study highlights the importance of considering the relationship between mood and neuropsychological performance in individuals with movement disorders.

Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to observe the effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection on rats and investigate how neuroinflammation contributes to the pathogenesis of depression in Parkinson’s disease (dPD). Methods: Rats were administered LPS (0.5 mg/kg, i.p.) for either 1, 2, or 4 consecutive days to establish a rat model of dPD. The sucrose preference test (SPT), the open field test (OFT), and the rotarod test evaluated depression-like and motor behaviors. Magnetic resonance imaging was used to detect alterations in the intrinsic activity and the integrity of white matter fibers in the brain. The expression of c-Fos, ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule (Iba-1), and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) was evaluated using immunohistochemistry. The concentration of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) was measured using Luminex technology. Results: LPS i.p. injections decreased sucrose preference in the SPT, horizontal and center distance in the OFT, and standing time in the rotarod test. The intrinsic activities in the hippocampus (HIP) were significantly reduced in the LPS-4 d group. The integrity of white matter fibers was greatly destroyed within 4 days of LPS treatment. The expression of c-Fos and Iba-1 in the prefrontal cortex, HIP, and substantia nigra increased dramatically, and the number of TH+ neurons in the substantia nigra decreased considerably after LPS injection. The levels of IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-10 were higher in the LPS-4 d group than those in the control group. Conclusion: Injection of LPS (0.5 mg/kg, i.p.) for 4 consecutive days can activate microglia, cause the release of inflammatory cytokines, reduce intrinsic activities in the HIP, destroy the integrity of white matter fibers, induce anhedonia and behavioral despair, and finally lead to dPD. This study proved that LPS injection (0.5 mg/kg, i.p.) for 4 consecutive days could be used to successfully create a rat model of dPD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The diagnosis and treatment rate of Parkinson disease (PD) with depression has a low diagnostic rate, and there is no consensus on the choice of treatment mode. This study evaluates the global research trends of scientific outputs related to depression in PD from multiple perspectives, using a bibliometric analysis and visualization tool to scientifically analyze the knowledge from the literature. METHODS Literature related to depression in PD published from 2012 to 2021 was included and selected from the Web of Science Core Collection database in October 2021. CiteSpace software was used to visualize and analyze co-occurrence analyses for countries, institutions, authors, and keywords. RESULTS A total of 4533 articles from the Web of Science database were included. The United States made the largest contribution with the majority of publications (1215; 29.40%). Toronto University was the most productive institution. PD, depression, quality of life, dementia, nonmotor symptom, prevalence, anxiety, Alzheimer disease, symptom, and disorder would be significantly correlated with depression in PD. The current hot spots in this field focus on the following: risk factors for depression in PD, assessment scale of depression in PD, and rehabilitation of depression in PD. CONCLUSIONS This analysis not only reveals the current research trends and hotspots but also provides some instructive suggestions on the development of depression in PD.

Association between Baseline Cognitive Score and Postoperative Delirium in Parkinson’s Disease Patients following Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery. PARKINSON'S DISEASE 2022; 2022:9755129. [PMID: 36338872 PMCID: PMC9635975 DOI: 10.1155/2022/9755129] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2022] [Revised: 04/24/2022] [Accepted: 06/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Background Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nuclei (STN-DBS) is a standard treatment option for advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Delirium following DBS electrode implantation is common, by several studies, and cognitive impairment is a risk factor for developing postoperative delirium (POD). This prospective observational study was conducted to identify whether preoperative baseline cognitive status has an association with POD in PD patients undergoing DBS surgery. Methods Preoperatively, neuropsychiatric and neuropsychological assessments of the patients were performed including clinical dementia rating (CDR) score, instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) score, mini-mental state exam (MMSE) score, Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) score, Hamilton anxiety (HAMA) and Hamilton depression (HAMD) scores, and numerical cancellation test. POD was identified by the confusion assessment method (CAM) twice per day on postoperative day 1 until discharge. Results Twenty-seven (21.6%) of 125 patients developed POD. Among the variables screened, age, CDR score, MMSE score, and HAMA score were indicated to be independent influence factors of POD. The cutoff score, AUC, sensitivity, and specificity of age, CDR score, MMSE score, and HAMA score associated with POD was 58.5, 0.751, 92.6%, 52.0%; 0.5, 0.848, 77.8%, 91.8%; 27.5, 0.827, 88.9%, 62.2%; and 12.5, 0.706, 85.2%, 54.1%, respectively. Conclusions We observed age, CDR score, MMSE score, and HAMA score were independent influence factors of POD in PD patients who received DBS. It is necessary to assess the cognitive status of PD patients before surgery to identify high-risk patients.

Abstract
Objective To investigate white matter microstructural alterations in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with depression using the whole-brain diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) method and to explore the DTI–based machine learning model in identifying depressed PD (dPD). Methods The DTI data were collected from 37 patients with dPD and 35 patients with non-depressed PD (ndPD), and 25 healthy control (HC) subjects were collected as the reference. An atlas-based analysis method was used to compare fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) among the three groups. A support vector machine (SVM) was trained to examine the probability of discriminating between dPD and ndPD. Results As compared with ndPD, dPD group exhibited significantly decreased FA in the bilateral corticospinal tract, right cingulum (cingulate gyrus), left cingulum hippocampus, bilateral inferior longitudinal fasciculus, and bilateral superior longitudinal fasciculus, and increased MD in the right cingulum (cingulate gyrus) and left superior longitudinal fasciculus-temporal part. For discriminating between dPD and ndPD, the SVM model with DTI features exhibited an accuracy of 0.70 in the training set [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was 0.78] and an accuracy of 0.73 in the test set (area under the ROC was 0.71). Conclusion Depression in PD is associated with white matter microstructural alterations. The SVM machine learning model based on DTI parameters could be valuable for the individualized diagnosis of dPD.

Abstract
CONTEXT Neuropsychiatric symptoms are common features of Graves disease (GD) in hyperthyroidism and after treatment. The mechanism behind these symptoms is unknown, but reduced hippocampal volumes have been observed in association with increased thyroid hormone levels. OBJECTIVE This work aimed at investigating GD influence on regional medial temporal lobe (MTL) volumes. METHODS Sixty-two women with newly diagnosed GD underwent assessment including magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in hyperthyroidism and 48 of them were followed up after a mean of 16.4 ± 4.2 SD months of treatment. Matched thyroid-healthy controls were also assessed twice at a 15-month interval. MR images were automatically segmented using multiatlas propagation with enhanced registration. Regional medial temporal lobe (MTL) volumes for amygdalae and hippocampi were compared with clinical data and data from symptom questionnaires and neuropsychological tests. RESULTS Patients had smaller MTL regions than controls at inclusion. At follow-up, all 4 MTL regions had increased volumes and only the volume of the left amygdala remained reduced compared to controls. There were significant correlations between the level of thyrotropin receptor antibodies (TRAb) and MTL volumes at inclusion and also between the longitudinal difference in the levels of free 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine and TRAb and the difference in MTL volumes. There were no significant correlations between symptoms or test scores and any of the 4 MTL volumes. CONCLUSION Dynamic alterations in the amygdalae and hippocampi in GD reflect a previously unknown level of brain involvement both in the hyperthyroid state of the condition and after treatment. The clinical significance, as well as the mechanisms behind these novel findings, warrant further study of the neurological consequences of GD.

Abstract
Background: Prediction and early diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Parkinson’s disease with depression (PDD) are essential for the clinical management of PD. Objectives: The present study aimed to develop a plasma Family with sequence similarity 19, member A5 (FAM19A5) and MRI-based radiomics nomogram to predict PD and PDD. Methods: The study involved 176 PD patients and 181 healthy controls (HC). Sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure FAM19A5 concentration in the plasma samples collected from all participants. For enrolled subjects, MRI data were collected from 164 individuals (82 in the PD group and 82 in the HC group). The bilateral amygdala, head of the caudate nucleus, putamen, and substantia nigra, and red nucleus were manually labeled on the MR images. Radiomics features of the labeled regions were extracted. Further, machine learning methods were applied to shrink the feature size and build a predictive radiomics signature. The resulting radiomics signature was combined with plasma FAM19A5 concentration and other risk factors to establish logistic regression models for the prediction of PD and PDD. Results: The plasma FAM19A5 levels (2.456 ± 0.517) were recorded to be significantly higher in the PD group as compared to the HC group (2.23 ± 0.457) (P < 0.001). Importantly, the plasma FAM19A5 levels were also significantly higher in the PDD subgroup (2.577 ± 0.408) as compared to the non-depressive subgroup (2.406 ± 0.549) (P = 0.045 < 0.05). The model based on the combination of plasma FAM19A5 and radiomics signature showed excellent predictive validity for PD and PDD, with AUCs of 0.913 (95% CI: 0.861–0.955) and 0.937 (95% CI: 0.845–0.970), respectively. Conclusion: Altogether, the present study reported the development of nomograms incorporating radiomics signature, plasma FAM19A5, and clinical risk factors, which might serve as potential tools for early prediction of PD and PDD in clinical settings.

Abstract
In the last few decades, major knowledge has been gained about pathophysiological aspects and molecular pathways behind Parkinson's Disease (PD). Based on neurotoxicological studies and postmortem investigations, there is a general concept of how environmental toxicants (neurotoxins, pesticides, insecticides) and genetic factors (genetic mutations in PD-associated proteins) cause depletion of dopamine from substantia nigra pars compacta region of the midbrain and modulate cellular processes leading to the pathogenesis of PD. α-Synuclein, a neuronal protein accumulation in oligomeric form, called protofibrils, is associated with cellular dysfunction and neuronal death, thus possibly contributing to PD propagation. With advances made in identifying loci that contribute to PD, molecular pathways involved in disease pathogenesis are now clear, and introducing therapeutic strategy at the right time may delay the progression. Biomarkers for PD have helped monitor PD progression; therefore, personalized therapeutic strategies can be facilitated. In order to further improve PD diagnostic and prognostic accuracy, independent validation of biomarkers is required.

Abstract
Depression and anxiety are common neuropsychiatric symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD), reflecting reduced quality of life in patients with PD. Silibinin (silybin), a flavonoid extracted and isolated from the fruit of Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn, is widely used for the treatment of hepatic diseases. We report here that silibinin shows anti-depressant and anti-anxiety effects on 1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced model mice with PD. All the results of open field test, elevated plus maze test, tail suspension test and forced swimming test demonstrated that silibinin administration significantly attenuated MPTP-induced depression/anxiety. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and Nissl staining results showed that MPTP injection caused the damage of hippocampal neurons, but this was ameliorated by oral administration of silibinin. Silibinin significantly restored hippocampal levels of 5-hydroxyptramine (5-HT) and noradrenaline (NA), two important neurotransmitters for regulating mood, which decreased in MPTP-injected mice. Neuroinflammation, as reflected by the increased expressions of IL-1β, TNFα and IFN-β, was marked in the hippocampus of MPTP-treated mice, accompanying increased stimulator of interferon genes (STING) and interferon regulatory factor-3 (IRF3). Silibinin administration, however, down-regulated the levels of IL-1β, TNFα and IFN-β, as well as STING and IRF3, protecting MPTP-induced PD model mice. These findings indicate that silibinin has a potential of being further developed as a therapeutic for depression and anxiety in PD.

Abstract
Depression is a common occurrence in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD); however, its pathophysiology is still unclear. This study assessed the association between the integrity of white matter and depressive symptoms in patients with PD. 67 patients with PD were divided into a non-depressed PD group (ndPD, n = 30) and a depressed PD group (dPD, n = 37). The dPD group was further subdivided into a mild-moderately depressed PD (mdPD, n = 22) and a severely depressed PD group (sdPD, n = 15). Tract-Based Spatial Statistics was used to compare fractional anisotropy (FA) between groups. Region-of-interest analysis was used to explore changes in diffusivity indices in the regions showing FA abnormalities. The sdPD patients exhibited significantly reduced FA in the left superior longitudinal fasciculus, uncinate fasciculus, anterior corona radiata, corticospinal tract, and bilateral inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus when compared with the ndPD patients, but the decreased FA was within a smaller area when compared with the mdPD patients. No significant difference in FA was found between the mdPD and ndPD groups. Among the dPD patients, FA values in the left superior longitudinal fasciculus negatively correlated with BDI scores. Impaired white matter integrity in the prefronto-limbic/temporal circuitry, mainly in the left hemisphere, is associated with severe, but not mild-moderate depressive symptoms in patients with PD.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia. Diabetic patients are known to have a higher prevalence and a higher risk of depression compared with the general population. The pathogenesis of diabetes-related depression is unclear, and the treatment is not well-established. Therefore, the prevention of diabetes-related depression is important for improving the quality of life of diabetic patients. Minocycline, a second-generation tetracycline antibiotic, has recently gained attention as a new agent for depression. In this study, we investigated the effect of minocycline on diabetes-related depression in a streptozotocin-induced mouse model of diabetes. Eight-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were injected with streptozotocin (200 mg/kg, i.p.). Seven days after injection, the mice received minocycline treatment through drinking water. We compared these mice with vehicle-treated control mice and diabetic mice not receiving minocycline treatment. On day 34, depression-like behavior was investigated using the forced swim test. On the following day, brain samples were collected, and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens were prepared for immunohistochemistry. Compared with the control group, the diabetic mice not receiving minocycline treatment showed a prolonged duration of immobility in the forced swim test, the observation being interpreted as a depression-like behavior. Immunohistochemistry revealed an increase in microglia with an activated morphology in the diabetic mice without minocycline treatment. The expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha in microglia was increased. In addition, a decrease in the number of doublecortin-positive immature neurons was found in the hippocampus of diabetic mice. Minocycline treatment of diabetic animals prevented the depression-like behavior and microglial activation; however, minocycline did not reverse impaired hippocampal neurogenesis. These results indicate that minocycline has a preventive effect on diabetes-related depression. Inhibition of microglial activation would be a critical target for the antidepressant mechanism of minocycline. Impaired hippocampal neurogenesis was observed in diabetic mice; however, this may not be involved in the pathogenesis of depression.

[PMID: 33636388 DOI: 10.1016/j.nbd.2021.105313] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2021] [Accepted: 02/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Vacuolar protein sorting protein 35 (VPS35) is a core component of the retromer complex involved in regulating protein trafficking and retrieval. Recently, a missense mutation, Asp620Asn (D620N), in VPS35 (PARK17) has been identified as a pathogenic mutation for late-onset autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease (PD). Although PD is characterized by a range of motor symptoms associated with loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantial nigra, non-motor symptoms such as impaired hippocampal neurogenesis were observed in both PD patients and animal models of PD caused by multiple PD-linked pathogenic genes such as alpha-synuclein and leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2). However, the role of the VPS35 D620N mutation in adult hippocampal neurogenesis remains unknown. Here, we showed that the VPS35 D620N mutation impaired hippocampal neurogenesis in adult transgenic mice expressing the VPS35 D620N gene. Specifically, we showed a reduction in the neural stem cell pool and neural proliferation and differentiation, retarded migration, and impaired neurite outgrowth in 3-month-old VPS35 D620N mutant mice. Moreover, we found that the VPS35 D620N mutant hyperphosphorylates amyloid precursor protein (APP) at Thr668and interacts with APP. Notably, by crossing the VPS35 D620N mutant mice with APP knockout (KO) mice, we showed that loss of APP function rescues VPS35 D620N-inhibited neurogenesis, neural migration, and maturation. Our study provides important evidence that APP is involved in the VPS35 D620N mutation in regulating adult neurogenesis, which sheds light on the pathogenic mechanisms in PD.

[PMID: 33636663 DOI: 10.1016/j.jns.2021.117365] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2020] [Revised: 01/24/2021] [Accepted: 02/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Parkinson's disease (PD) can present with neuropsychiatric symptoms (here, anxiety, depression, and apathy) at any stage of the disease. We investigated the neural correlates of subclinical neuropsychiatric symptoms in relation to motor and cognitive symptoms in a high-functioning PD cohort. METHODS Brain morphometry of the cognitively intact, early-stage (Hoehn & Yahr 2) PD group (n = 48) was compared to matched controls (n = 37). Whole-brain, pairwise, resting-state functional connectivity measures were correlated with neuropsychiatric symptom, motor exam, and global cognitive scores of the PD group. RESULTS Factor analysis of highly collinear anxiety, depression, and apathy scores revealed a single principal component (i.e., composite neuropsychiatric symptom score) explaining 71.6% of variance. There was no collinearity between the neuropsychiatric, motor, and cognitive scores. Compared to controls, PD group showed only subcortical changes including amygdala and nucleus accumbens atrophy, and greater pallidal volume. Reduced functional connectivity in the limbic cortical-striatal circuits and increased functional connectivity between the cerebellum and occipito-temporal regions were associated with a more impaired neuropsychiatric profile. This functional connectivity pattern was distinct from those associated with motor deficits and global cognitive functioning. The individual components of the neuropsychiatric symptoms also exhibited unique connectivity patterns. LIMITATIONS Patients were scanned in "on-medication" state only and a control group with similar neuropsychiatric symptoms was not included. CONCLUSION Abnormal functional connectivity of distinct neural circuits is present even at the subclinical stage of neuropsychiatric symptoms in PD. Neuropsychiatric phenotyping is important and may facilitate early interventions to "reorganize" these circuits and delay/prevent clinical symptom onset.

Front Aging Neurosci 2021; 13:621508. [PMID: 33643023 PMCID: PMC7906968 DOI: 10.3389/fnagi.2021.621508] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2020] [Accepted: 01/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is a 32 kDa stress-response protein implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Biliverdin is derived from heme through a reaction mediated by HO-1 and protects cells from oxidative stress. However, iron and carbon monoxide produced by the catabolism of HO-1 exert detrimental effects on patients with PD. The purpose of this study was to determine whether plasma HO-1 levels represent a biomarker of PD and to further explore the underlying mechanism of increased HO-1 levels by applying voxel-based morphometry (VBM).Methods: We measured plasma HO-1 levels using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 156 subjects, including 81 patients with early- and advanced-stage PD and 75 subjects without PD. The analyses were adjusted to control for confounders such as age, sex, and medication. We analyzed T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data from 74 patients with PD using VBM to elucidate the association between altered brain volumes and HO-1 levels. Then, we compared performance on MMSE sub-items between PD patients with low and high levels of HO-1 using Mann-Whitney U tests.Results: Plasma HO-1 levels were significantly elevated in PD patients, predominantly those with early-stage PD, compared with controls (p < 0.05). The optimal cutoff value for patients with early PD was 2.245 ng/ml HO-1 [area under the curve (AUC) = 0.654]. Plasma HO-1 levels were unaffected by sex, age, and medications (p > 0.05). The right hippocampal volume was decreased in the subset of PD patients with high HO-1 levels (p < 0.05). A weak correlation was observed between right hippocampal volume and plasma HO-1 levels (r = −0.273, p = 0.018). There was no difference in total MMSE scores between the low- and high-HO-1 groups (p > 0.05), but the high-HO-1 group had higher language scores than the low-HO-1 group (p < 0.05).Conclusions: Plasma HO-1 levels may be a promising biomarker of early PD. Moreover, a high plasma concentration of the HO-1 protein is associated with a reduction in right hippocampal volume.

Abstract
Background Disturbance of networks was recently proposed to be associated with the occurrence of depression in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the neurobiological mechanism of depression underlying PD remains unclear. Objective This study was conducted to investigate whether intra-network and inter-network brain connectivity is differently changed in PD patients with and without depression (PDD and PDND patients, respectively). Methods Forty-one PDD patients, 64 PDND patients, and 55 healthy controls (HCs) underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The default mode network (DMN), executive control network (ECN), salience network (SN), precuneus network (PCUN), and sensorimotor network (SMN) were extracted using independent component analysis (ICA), and then the functional connectivity (FC) values within and between these networks were measured. Results PDD patients exhibited abnormal FC values within the DMN, ECN, SN, PCUN, and SMN. In addition, PDD patients demonstrated decreased connectivity between anterior SN (aSN) and bilateral ECN, between posterior SN (pSN) and dorsal DMN (dDMN), and between PCUN and dDMN/SMN/bilateral ECN. Connectivity within the left hippocampus of dDMN and the right medial superior frontal gyrus of aSN was a significant predictor of depression level in PD patients. Conclusions Aberrant intra- and inter-network FC is involved in several important hubs in the large-scale networks, which can be a biomarker for distinguishing PDD from PDND.

[PMID: 33096519 DOI: 10.1016/j.media.2020.101830] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2020] [Revised: 07/24/2020] [Accepted: 09/01/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
The detection and pathogenic factors analysis of Parkinson's disease (PD) has a practical significance for its diagnosis and treatment. However, the traditional research paradigms are commonly based on single neural imaging data, which is easy to ignore the complementarity between multimodal imaging genetics data. The existing researches also pay little attention to the comprehensive framework of patient detection and pathogenic factors analysis for PD. Based on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data, a novel brain disease multimodal data analysis model is proposed in this paper. Firstly, according to the complementarity between the two types of data, the classical correlation analysis method is used to construct the fusion feature of subjects. Secondly, based on the artificial neural network, the fusion feature analysis tool named clustering evolutionary random neural network ensemble (CERNNE) is designed. This method integrates multiple neural networks constructed randomly, and uses clustering evolution strategy to optimize the ensemble learner by adaptive selective integration, selecting the discriminative features for PD analysis and ensuring the generalization performance of the ensemble model. By combining with data fusion scheme, the CERNNE is applied to forming a multi-task analysis framework, recognizing PD patients and predicting PD-associated brain regions and genes. In the multimodal data experiment, the proposed framework shows better classification performance and pathogenic factors predicting ability, which provides a new perspective for the diagnosis of PD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Depressive symptoms are the most common non-motor symptom accompanying Parkinson's disease (PD); however, the neural basis of depression in PD remains unclear. The aim of this study was to characterize possible depression-related white matter microstructural differences in patients with PD and comorbid depression compared with PD patients and healthy controls (HC) without depression. METHODS We used diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to analyze white matter integrity in depressed PD patients (n = 30), non-depressed PD patients (n = 43), and HC (n = 91). Five MRI-derived indices were estimated: fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity (MD), axial diffusivity (AD), radial diffusivity (RD), and white matter volume (WMV). RESULTS Compared with HC and non-depressed PD, depressed PD patients showed significantly increased AD values in the body of corpus callosum, right anterior corona radiate, and left hippocampal part of the cingulum, as well as increased MD values in the left hippocampal part of the cingulum. CONCLUSIONS Our results show that frontal and limbic white matter integrity is impaired in depressed PD patients. These findings can be used to better understand potential mechanisms of depression in PD.

Abstract
Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus is an effective and established therapy for patients with advanced Parkinson's disease improving quality of life, motor symptoms and non-motor symptoms. However, there is a considerable degree of interindividual variability for these outcomes, likely due to variability in electrode placement and stimulation settings. Here, we present probabilistic mapping data from a prospective, open-label, multicentre, international study to investigate the influence of the location of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation on non-motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease. A total of 91 Parkinson's disease patients undergoing bilateral deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus were included, and we investigated NMSScale, NMSQuestionnaire, Scales for Outcomes in Parkinson's disease-motor examination, -activities of daily living, and -motor complications, and Parkinson's disease Questionnaire-8 preoperatively and at 6-month follow-up after surgery. Leads were localized in standard space using the Lead-DBS toolbox and individual volumes of tissue activated were calculated based on clinical stimulation settings. Probabilistic stimulation maps and non-parametric permutation statistics were applied to identify voxels with significant above or below average improvement for each scale and analysed using the DISTAL atlas. All outcomes improved significantly at follow-up. Significant spatial distribution patterns of neurostimulation were observed for NMSScale total score and its mood/apathy and attention/memory domains. For both domains, voxels associated with below average improvement were mainly located dorsal to the subthalamic nucleus. In contrast, above average improvement for mood/apathy was observed in the ventral border region of the subthalamic nucleus and in its sensorimotor subregion and for attention/memory in the associative subregion. A trend was observed for NMSScale sleep domain showing voxels with above average improvement located ventral to the subthalamic nucleus. Our study provides evidence that the interindividual variability of mood/apathy, attention/memory, and sleep outcomes after subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation depends on the location of neurostimulation. This study highlights the importance of holistic assessments of motor and non-motor aspects of Parkinson's disease to tailor surgical targeting and stimulation parameter settings to patients' personal profiles.

Abstract
Background Up to 90% of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) eventually develop the speech and voice disorder referred to as hypokinetic dysarthria (HD). However, the brain morphological changes associated with HD have not been investigated. Moreover, no reliable model for predicting the severity of HD based on neuroimaging has yet been developed. Methods A total of 134 PD patients were included in this study and divided into a training set and a test set. All participants underwent a structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan and neuropsychological evaluation. Individual cortical thickness, subcortical structure, and white matter volume were extracted, and their association with HD severity was analyzed. After feature selection, a machine‐learning model was established using a support vector machine in the training set. The severity of HD was then predicted in the test set. Results Atrophy of the right precentral cortex and the right fusiform gyrus was significantly associated with HD. No association was found between HD and volume of white matter or subcortical structures. Favorable and optimal performance of machine learning on HD severity prediction was achieved using feature selection, giving a correlation coefficient (r) of .7516 and a coefficient of determination (R2) of .5649 (P < .001). Conclusion The brain morphological changes were associated with HD. Excellent prediction of the severity of HD was achieved using machine learning based on neuroimaging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE5Is) are used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). Recently, the antidepressant-like effect of PDE5Is was demonstrated in animal models of depression. In clinical settings, PDE5Is were studied only for ED associated depression. Hence, there are no studies evaluating the effects of PDE5Is for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) without ED. In this review article, we aimed to discuss the use of PDE5Is in the context of MDD, highlighting the roles of PDE genes in the development of MDD, the potential mechanisms by which PDE5Is can be beneficial for MDD and the potentials and limitations of PDE5Is repurposing to treat MDD. METHODS We used PubMed (MEDLINE) database to collect the studies cited in this review. Papers written in English language regardless the year of publication were selected. RESULTS A few preclinical studies support the antidepressant-like activity of PDE5Is. Clinical studies in men with ED and depression suggest that PDE5Is improve depressive symptoms. No clinical studies were conducted in subjects suffering from depression without ED. Antidepressant effect of PDE5Is may be explained by multiple mechanisms including inhibition of brain inflammation and modulation of neuroplasticity. LIMITATIONS The low number of preclinical and absence of clinical studies to support the antidepressant effect of PDE5Is. CONCLUSIONS No clinical trial was conducted to date evaluating PDE5Is in depressed patients without ED. PDE5Is' anti-inflammatory and neuroplasticity mechanisms may justify the potential antidepressant effect of these drugs. Despite this, clinical trials evaluating their efficacy in depressed patients need to be conducted.

Brain structural correlates of depressive symptoms in Parkinson's disease patients at different disease stage. Psychiatry Res Neuroimaging 2020; 296:111029.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) pathology may damage emotion circuit and cause depression. We investigated whether the neural basis of depressive symptoms varies at different PD stages. Seventy-six healthy controls (HC) and 98 PD patients (divided into early and middle stage groups) underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and general neuropsychological tests. Voxel-based morphometry and tract-based analysis were used to study the association between brain structural alterations and the Hamilton Depression Scale 17 Item (HAMD-17) scores in different groups. Comparing with HC group, PD patients showed widespread brain alterations in both gray and white matter. The HAMD-17 scores were positively correlated with GM volume in the right pre-central gyrus of early PD patients. In the middle stage group, HAMD-17 scores were positively correlated with GM volume in midbrain and right superior temporal gyrus, and negatively associated with GM volume in left anterior cingulate and superior frontal gyrus. In white matter analysis, The HAMD-17 scores were positively correlated with fractional anisotropy value of the bilateral inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus in the early stage group, but not the middle stage group. We concluded that the neural basis of depressive symptoms might be distinct in different stages of PD, implying the need for differential treatments.

Gray Matter Atrophy in Parkinson's Disease and the Parkinsonian Variant of Multiple System Atrophy: A Combined ROI- and Voxel-Based Morphometric Study. Clinics (Sao Paulo) 2020; 75:e1505. [PMID: 32555945 PMCID: PMC7279630 DOI: 10.6061/clinics/2020/e1505] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2019] [Accepted: 03/20/2020] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Parkinson's disease (PD) and the parkinsonian variant of multiple system atrophy (MSA-P) are distinct neurodegenerative disorders that share similar clinical features of parkinsonism. The morphological alterations of these diseases have yet to be understood. The purpose of this study was to evaluate gray matter atrophy in PD and MSA-P using regions of interest (ROI)-based measurements and voxel-based morphometry (VBM). METHODS We studied 41 patients with PD, 20 patients with MSA-P, and 39 controls matched for age, sex, and handedness using an improved T1-weighted sequence that eased gray matter segmentation. The gray matter volumes were measured using ROI and VBM. RESULTS ROI volumetric measurements showed significantly reduced bilateral putamen volumes in MSA-P patients compared with those in PD patients and controls (p<0.05), and the volumes of the bilateral caudate nucleus were significantly reduced in both MSA-P and PD patients compared with those in the controls (p<0.05). VBM analysis revealed multifocal cortical and subcortical atrophy in both MSA-P and PD patients, and the volumes of the cerebellum and temporal lobes were remarkably reduced in MSA-P patients compared with the volumes in PD patients (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Both PD and MSA-P are associated with gray matter atrophy, which mainly involves the bilateral putamen, caudate nucleus, cerebellum, and temporal lobes. ROI and VBM can be used to identify these morphological alterations, and VBM is more sensitive and repeatable and less time-consuming, which may have potential diagnostic value.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the most significant health challenges facing women today. Abuse is a serious gendered issue also affecting the health of women. Despite beginning evidence that abuse may increase the risk of CVD among women, causal pathways linking abuse to CVD have received little attention. Our purpose was to test Scott-Storey's conceptual model showing direct and indirect pathways through which lifetime abuse severity may affect women's CVD risk. METHODS Using data collected from a community sample of 227 Canadian women who had left an abusive partner, we conducted structural equation modeling with latent growth curve analysis using a phantom variable approach to test the direct effects of severity of lifetime abuse on CVD risk (indicated by measures of systolic and diastolic blood pressure) as well as its indirect effects through CVD risk behaviors and through women's initial level of depressive symptoms and the observed rate of change in their depressive symptoms over time. RESULTS Women in this sample had above average CVD risk factors (i.e., smoking, overweight/obesity, depressive symptoms, high blood pressure) in comparison to women in the general population. Further, CVD risk behaviors increased with severity of lifetime abuse and remained present long after leaving the abusive relationship. Results of the tested model provide preliminary evidence supporting many of the hypothesized pathways by which severity of lifetime abuse can increase CVD risk among women; the model fit the data reasonably well explaining 41% of the variance in CVD risk. CONCLUSIONS Findings support the growing recognition of the long-term effects of lifetime abuse on cardiovascular health, suggest important implications for clinicians working with women, and provide a novel approach for studying the concept of cumulative lifetime abuse through the use of a phantom variable.

Abstract
In addition to motor symptoms, behavioural complications are commonly found in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Behavioural complications, including depression, anxiety, apathy, impulse control disorder and psychosis, together have a large impact on PD patient's quality of life. Many neuroimaging studies using PET, SPECT and MRI techniques have been conducted to study the underlying neural mechanisms of PD pathogenesis and pathophysiology in relation to its behavioural complications. This review will survey these PET, SPECT and MRI studies to describe the current understanding of the neuro-chemical, functional and structural changes associated with behavioural complications in PD patients.
