[PMID: 37955636 DOI: 10.1093/cercor/bhad418] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2023] [Revised: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Although proline-rich transmembrane protein 2 is the primary causative gene of paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia, its effects on the brain structure of paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia patients are not yet clear. Here, we explored the influence of proline-rich transmembrane protein 2 mutations on similarity-based gray matter morphological networks in individuals with paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia. A total of 51 paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia patients possessing proline-rich transmembrane protein 2 mutations, 55 paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia patients possessing proline-rich transmembrane protein 2 non-mutation, and 80 healthy controls participated in the study. We analyzed the structural connectome characteristics across groups by graph theory approaches. Relative to paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia patients possessing proline-rich transmembrane protein 2 non-mutation and healthy controls, paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia patients possessing proline-rich transmembrane protein 2 mutations exhibited a notable increase in characteristic path length and a reduction in both global and local efficiency. Relative to healthy controls, both patient groups showed reduced nodal metrics in right postcentral gyrus, right angular, and bilateral thalamus; Relative to healthy controls and paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia patients possessing proline-rich transmembrane protein 2 non-mutation, paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia patients possessing proline-rich transmembrane protein 2 mutations showed almost all reduced nodal centralities and structural connections in cortico-basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical circuit including bilateral supplementary motor area, bilateral pallidum, and right caudate nucleus. Finally, we used support vector machine by gray matter network matrices to classify paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia patients possessing proline-rich transmembrane protein 2 mutations and paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia patients possessing proline-rich transmembrane protein 2 non-mutation, achieving an accuracy of 73%. These results show that proline-rich transmembrane protein 2 related gray matter network deficits may contribute to paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia, offering new insights into its pathophysiological mechanisms.

Abstract
Introduction Previous studies have revealed structural, functional, and metabolic changes in brain regions inside the cortico-striatal-thalamo-cortical (CSTC) loop in patients with paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD), whereas no quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM)-related studies have explored brain iron deposition in these areas. Methods A total of eight familial PKD patients and 10 of their healthy family members (normal controls) were recruited and underwent QSM on a 3T magnetic resonance imaging system. Magnetic susceptibility maps were reconstructed using a multi-scale dipole inversion algorithm. Thereafter, we specifically analyzed changes in local mean susceptibility values in cortical regions and subcortical nuclei inside the motor CSTC loop. Results Compared with normal controls, PKD patients had altered brain iron levels. In the cortical gray matter area involved with the motor CSTC loop, susceptibility values were generally elevated, especially in the bilateral M1 and PMv regions. In the subcortical nuclei regions involved with the motor CSTC loop, susceptibility values were generally lower, especially in the bilateral substantia nigra regions. Conclusion Our results provide new evidence for the neuropathogenesis of PKD and suggest that an imbalance in brain iron levels may play a role in PKD.

Abstract
Paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) is a movement disorder characterized by recurrent and transient episodes of involuntary movements, including dystonia, chorea, ballism, or a combination of these, which are typically triggered by sudden voluntary movement. Disturbance of the basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical circuit has long been considered the cause of involuntary movements. Impairment of the gating function of the basal ganglia can cause an aberrant output toward the thalamus, which in turn leads to excessive activation of the cerebral cortex. Structural and functional abnormalities in the basal ganglia, thalamus, and cortex and abnormal connections between these brain regions have been found in patients with PKD. Recent studies have highlighted the role of the cerebellum in PKD. Insufficient suppression from the cerebellar cortex to the deep cerebellar nuclei could lead to overexcitation of the thalamocortical pathway. Therefore, this literature review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current research progress to explore the neural circuits and pathogenesis of PKD and promote further understanding and outlook on the pathophysiological mechanism of movement disorders. © 2023 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The pathophysiology of paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) remains elusive to date; however, several lines of evidence from neuroimaging studies suggest involvement of the basal ganglia-thalamocortical network in PKD. We combined fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (fALFF) and seed-based functional connectivity (FC) analyses in order to comprehensively investigate intrinsic brain activity alterations and their relationships with disease severity in patients with idiopathic PKD. METHODS Resting-state functional MRI data were obtained and processed in 34 PKD patients and 34 matched controls. fALFF and seed-based FC maps were computed and compared between patients and controls. Linear regression analysis was further performed between regional fALFF values or FC strengths and clinical parameters in patients. RESULTS PKD patients had a significant increase in fALFF in bilateral thalamus and cerebellum compared with controls. FC analysis seeding at the thalamic clusters revealed significant FC increases in motor cortex and supplementary motor area in PKD patients relative to controls. Longer disease duration was associated with increasing FC strength between the thalamus and motor cortex. CONCLUSION We have provided evidence for abnormal intrinsic activity in the cerebello-thalamic circuit and increased thalamofrontal FC in PKD patients, implicating interictal cerebello-thalamofrontal dysconnectivity in the pathophysiology of PKD. Given the increasing FC strength in proportion to disease duration, the thalamofrontal hyperconnectivity might reflect either a consequence of recurrent dyskinesias on the brain or an innate pathology causing dyskinesias in PKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) is the most common type of paroxysmal dyskinesias. Only one-third of PKD patients are attributed to proline-rich transmembrane protein 2 (PRRT2) mutations. OBJECTIVE We aimed to explore the potential causative gene for PKD. METHODS A cohort of 196 PRRT2-negative PKD probands were enrolled for whole-exome sequencing (WES). Gene Ranking, Identification and Prediction Tool, a method of case-control analysis, was applied to identify the candidate genes. Another 325 PRRT2-negative PKD probands were subsequently screened with Sanger sequencing. RESULTS Transmembrane Protein 151 (TMEM151A) variants were mainly clustered in PKD patients compared with the control groups. 24 heterozygous variants were detected in 25 of 521 probands (frequency = 4.80%), including 18 missense and 6 nonsense mutations. In 29 patients with TMEM151A variants, the ratio of male to female was 2.63:1 and the mean age of onset was 12.93 ± 3.15 years. Compared with PRRT2 mutation carriers, TMEM151A-related PKD were more common in sporadic PKD patients with pure phenotype. There was no significant difference in types of attack and treatment outcome between TMEM151A-positive and PRRT2-positive groups. CONCLUSIONS We consolidated mutations in TMEM151A causing PKD with the aid of case-control analysis of a large-scale WES data, which broadens the genotypic spectrum of PKD. TMEM151A-related PKD were more common in sporadic cases and tended to present as pure phenotype with a late onset. Extensive functional studies are needed to enhance our understanding of the pathogenesis of TMEM151A-related PKD. © 2021 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of primary paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) remains unclear, and channelopathy is a possibility. In a pilot study, we found that PKD patients had abnormal exercise test (ET) results. To investigate the ET performances in patients affected by PKD, and the role of the channelopathies in the pathogenesis of PKD, we compared the ET results of PKD patients, control subjects, and hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HoPP) patients, and we analyzed ET changes in 32 PKD patients before and after treatment. Forty-four PKD patients underwent genetic testing for the PRRT2, SCN4A, and CLCN1 genes. Sixteen of 59 (27%) patients had abnormal ET results in the PKD group, while 28 of 35 (80%) patients had abnormal ET results in the HoPP group. Compared with the control group, the PKD group showed a significant decrease in the compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitude and area after the long ET (LET), while the HoPP group showed not only greater decreases in the CMAP amplitude and area after the LET but also greater increases in the CMAP amplitude and area immediately after the LET. The ET parameters before and after treatment were not significantly different. Nine of 44 PKD patients carried PRRT2 mutations, but the gene abnormalities were unrelated to any ET parameter. The PKD group demonstrated an abnormal LET result by electromyography (EMG), and this abnormality did not seem to correlate with the PRRT2 variant or sodium channel blocker therapy.

Abstract
Paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) is a rare movement disorder of the nervous system, and little is known about its pathogenesis. Currently, the diagnosis of PKD is primarily based on clinical manifestations, with little objective evidence. Neuroimaging has been used to explore the pathological changes in cerebral structure and function associated with PKD. The current review highlights recent advances in neuroimaging to provide a better understanding of the neural mechanisms and early diagnosis of this disorder. Several studies utilizing single-photon emission computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography, and structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging have found significant localized abnormalities in the caudate nucleus, putamen, pallidum, thalamus, and frontoparietal cortex in PKD patients. These studies have also revealed alterations in interhemispheric functional connectivity between the brain regions of bilateral cerebral hemispheres such as the putamen, primary motor cortex, supplementary motor area, dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex, and primary somatosensory cortex in these patients. In addition, proline-rich transmembrane protein 2 gene mutations can affect the functional organization of the brain in PKD. These results suggest that the neural mechanisms of PKD are associated with the disruption of both structural and/or functional properties in basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical circuitry and interhemispheric functional connectivity. PKD can be considered a circuitry/network disorder and is not restricted to localized structural and/or functional abnormalities. Multimodal neuroimaging combined with gene analysis can provide additional valuable information for a better understanding of the pathogenesis and early diagnosis of this disorder.

Abstract
This study explored the topological characteristics of brain white matter structural networks in patients with Paroxysmal Kinesigenic Dyskinesia (PKD), and the potential influence of the brain network stability gene PRRT2 on the structural connectome in PKD. Thirty-five PKD patients with PRRT2 mutations (PKD-M), 43 PKD patients without PRRT2 mutations (PKD-N), and 40 demographically-matched healthy control (HC) subjects underwent diffusion tensor imaging. Graph theory and network-based statistic (NBS) approaches were performed; the topological properties of the white matter structural connectome were compared across the groups, and their relationships with the clinical variables were assessed. Both disease groups PKD-M and PKD-N showed lower local efficiency (implying decreased segregation ability) compared to the HC group; PKD-M had longer characteristic path length and lower global efficiency (implying decreased integration ability) compared to PKD-N and HC, independently of the potential effects of medication. Both PKD-M and PKD-N had decreased nodal characteristics in the left thalamus and left inferior frontal gyrus, the alterations being more pronounced in PKD-M patients, who also showed abnormalities in the left fusiform and bilateral middle temporal gyrus. In the connectivity characteristics assessed by NBS, the alterations were more pronounced in the PKD-M group versus HC than in PKD-N versus HC. As well as the white matter alterations in the basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical circuit related to PKD with or without PRRT2 mutations, findings in the PKD-M group of weaker small-worldness and more pronounced regional disturbance show the adverse effects of PRRT2 gene mutations on brain structural connectome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia is a spectrum of involuntary dyskinetic disorders with high clinical and genetic heterogeneity. Mutations in proline-rich transmembrane protein 2 have been identified as the major pathogenic factor. OBJECTIVES We analyzed 600 paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia patients nationwide who were identified by the China Paroxysmal Dyskinesia Collaborative Group to summarize the clinical phenotypes and genetic features of paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia in China and to provide new thoughts on diagnosis and therapy. METHODS The China Paroxysmal Dyskinesia Collaborative Group was composed of departments of neurology from 22 hospitals. Clinical manifestations and proline-rich transmembrane protein 2 screening results were recorded using unified paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia registration forms. Genotype-phenotype correlation analyses were conducted in patients with and without proline-rich transmembrane protein 2 mutations. High-knee exercises were applied in partial patients as a new diagnostic test to induce attacks. RESULTS Kinesigenic triggers, male predilection, dystonic attacks, aura, complicated forms of paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia, clustering in patients with family history, and dramatic responses to antiepileptic treatment were the prominent features in this multicenter study. Clinical analysis showed that proline-rich transmembrane protein 2 mutation carriers were prone to present at a younger age and have longer attack duration, bilateral limb involvement, choreic attacks, a complicated form of paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia, family history, and more forms of dyskinesia. The new high-knee-exercise test efficiently induced attacks and could assist in diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS We propose recommendations regarding diagnostic criteria for paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia based on this large clinical study of paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia. The findings offered some new insights into the diagnosis and treatment of paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia and might help in building standardized paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia clinical evaluations and therapies. © 2020 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Abstract
Paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) is conventionally regarded as a movement disorder (MD) and characterized by episodic hyperkinesia by sudden movements. However, patients of PKD often have sensory aura and respond excellently to antiepileptic agents. PRRT2 mutations, the most common genetic etiology of PKD, could cause epilepsy syndromes as well. Standing in the twilight zone between MDs and epilepsy, the pathogenesis of PKD is unclear. Gamma oscillations arise from the inhibitory interneurons which are crucial in the thalamocortical circuits. The role of synchronized gamma oscillations in sensory gating is an important mechanism of automatic cortical inhibition. The patterns of gamma oscillations have been used to characterize neurophysiological features of many neurological diseases, including epilepsy and MDs. This study was aimed to investigate the features of gamma synchronizations in PKD. In the paired-pulse electrical-stimulation task, we recorded the magnetoencephalographic data with distributed source modeling and time-frequency analysis in 19 patients of newly-diagnosed PKD without receiving pharmacotherapy and 18 healthy controls. In combination with the magnetic resonance imaging, the source of gamma oscillations was localized in the primary somatosensory cortex. Somatosensory evoked fields of PKD patients had a reduced peak frequency (p < 0.001 for the first and the second response) and a prolonged peak latency (the first response p = 0.02, the second response p = 0.002), indicating the synchronization of gamma oscillation is significantly attenuated. The power ratio between two responses was much higher in the PKD group (p = 0.013), indicating the incompetence of activity suppression. Aberrant gamma synchronizations revealed the defective sensory gating of the somatosensory area contributes the pathogenesis of PKD. Our findings documented disinhibited cortical function is a pathomechanism common to PKD and epilepsy, thus rationalized the clinical overlaps of these two diseases and the therapeutic effect of antiepileptic agents for PKD. There is a greater reduction of the peak gamma frequency in PRRT2-related PKD than the non-PRRT PKD group (p = 0.028 for the first response, p = 0.004 for the second response). Loss-of-function PRRT2 mutations could lead to synaptic dysfunction. The disinhibiton change on neurophysiology reflected the impacts of PRRT2 mutations on human neurophysiology.

Orbitofrontal Neuroadaptations and Cross-Species Synaptic Biomarkers in Heavy-Drinking Macaques. J Neurosci 2017; 37:3646-3660.

Abstract
Cognitive impairments, uncontrolled drinking, and neuropathological cortical changes characterize alcohol use disorder. Dysfunction of the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), a critical cortical subregion that controls learning, decision-making, and prediction of reward outcomes, contributes to executive cognitive function deficits in alcoholic individuals. Electrophysiological and quantitative synaptomics techniques were used to test the hypothesis that heavy drinking produces neuroadaptations in the macaque OFC. Integrative bioinformatics and reverse genetic approaches were used to identify and validate synaptic proteins with novel links to heavy drinking in BXD mice. In drinking monkeys, evoked firing of OFC pyramidal neurons was reduced, whereas the amplitude and frequency of postsynaptic currents were enhanced compared with controls. Bath application of alcohol reduced evoked firing in neurons from control monkeys, but not drinking monkeys. Profiling of the OFC synaptome identified alcohol-sensitive proteins that control glutamate release (e.g., SV2A, synaptogyrin-1) and postsynaptic signaling (e.g., GluA1, PRRT2) with no changes in synaptic GABAergic proteins. Western blot analysis confirmed the increase in GluA1 expression in drinking monkeys. An exploratory analysis of the OFC synaptome found cross-species genetic links to alcohol intake in discrete proteins (e.g., C2CD2L, DIRAS2) that discriminated between low- and heavy-drinking monkeys. Validation studies revealed that BXD mouse strains with the D allele at the C2cd2l interval drank less alcohol than B allele strains. Thus, by profiling of the OFC synaptome, we identified changes in proteins controlling glutamate release and postsynaptic signaling and discovered several proteins related to heavy drinking that have potential as novel targets for treating alcohol use disorder.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Clinical research identified cognitive deficits in alcoholic individuals as a risk factor for relapse, and alcoholic individuals display deficits on cognitive tasks that are dependent upon the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). To identify neurobiological mechanisms that underpin OFC dysfunction, this study used electrophysiology and integrative synaptomics in a translational nonhuman primate model of heavy alcohol consumption. We found adaptations in synaptic proteins that control glutamatergic signaling in chronically drinking monkeys. Our functional genomic exploratory analyses identified proteins with genetic links to alcohol and cocaine intake across mice, monkeys, and humans. Future work is necessary to determine whether targeting these novel targets reduces excessive and harmful levels of alcohol drinking.

Abstract
The neurobiological basis of paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) is poorly defined due to the lack of reliable neuroimaging differences that can distinguish PKD with dystonia (PKD-D) from PKD with chorea (PKD-C). Consequently, diagnosis of PKD remains largely based on the clinical phenotype. Understanding the pathophysiology of PKD may facilitate discrimination between PKD-D and PKD-C, potentially contributing to more accurate diagnosis. We conducted resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging on patients with PKD-D (n = 22), PKD-C (n = 10), and healthy controls (n = 32). Local synchronization was measured in all 3 groups via regional homogeneity (ReHo) and evaluated using receiver operator characteristic analysis to distinguish between PKD-C and PKD-D. Cortical-basal ganglia circuitry differed significantly between the 2 groups at a specific frequency. Furthermore, the PKD-D and PKD-C patients were observed to show different spontaneous brain activity in the right precuneus, right putamen, and right angular gyrus at the slow-5 frequency band (0.01-0.027 Hz). The frequency-specific abnormal local synchronization between the 2 types of PKD offers new insights into the pathophysiology of this disorder to some extent.

Abstract
Paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) is a monogenic movement disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance. We previously identified the proline-rich transmembrane protein 2 (PRRT2) as a causative gene of PKD. However, the pathogenesis of PKD remains largely unknown so far. In addition, applicable modeling tools to investigate the underlying mechanisms of PKD are still lacking. The combination of disease-specific human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and directed cell differentiation offers an ideal platform for disease modeling. In this study, we generated two iPSC lines from the renal epithelial cells of one PKD patient with the hotspot c.649dupC mutation (PKD-iPSCs). These cell lines were positive for alkaline phosphatase Nanog, Tra-1-80, Tra-1-60, SSEA-3 and SSEA-4. Teratomas with three blastoderms including ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm were obtained two months after injection of PKD-iPSCs into NOD/SCID mice. The expression of PRRT2 mRNA was decreased in PKD-iPSCs compared with that of the control iPSCs. Furthermore, PKD-iPSCs possessed the differentiation potential of functional glutamatergic, dopaminergic and motor neurons in vitro. Electrophysiological examinations revealed that the current densities of fast activated and deactivated sodium channels as well as voltage gated potassium channels were not different between the neurons from PKD-iPSCs and control iPSCs. Thus, PKD-iPSCs are a feasible modeling tool to investigate the pathogenic mechanisms of PKD. Summary: This is the first report of urinary cell-induced pluripotent stem cells being used as resources for investigation of the pathological mechanisms of paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia.

Abstract
PURPOSE Paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) is a rare movement disorder. The underlying neural mechanisms have not been fully understood. This study aimed to examine the alteration of resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) between interhemispheric homotopic regions in PKD using a technique called "voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity" (VMHC). METHODS The VMHC analysis was performed on resting-state functional MRI data from 11 PKD patients and 17 age and gender matched healthy subjects. Comparison between the two groups was conducted. The correlation relationship between VMHC and illness duration was analyzed. RESULTS Compared with healthy subjects, PKD patients showed increased interhemispheric RSFC in bilateral putamen, primary motor cortex, supplementary motor area, dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex, primary somatosensory cortex, superior and middle occipital gyri, as well as cerebellar tonsil. Besides, negative correlation was detected between illness duration and VMHC in bilateral putamen and the insular cortex. CONCLUSION The present study provided preliminary evidence of increased interhemispheric RSFC in PKD mainly in the basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical circuitry and cerebellum. A negative correlation between VMHC and illness duration was also detected. These findings could further enhance our understandings of the pathophysiology of PKD.

Abstract
Paroxysmal movement disorders are a heterogeneous group of conditions manifesting as episodic dyskinesia with sudden onset and lasting a variable duration. Based on the difference of precipitating factors, three forms are clearly recognized, namely, paroxysmal kinesigenic (PKD), non-kinesigenic (PNKD), and exercise induced (PED). The elucidation of the genetic cause of various forms of paroxysmal dyskinesia has led to better clinical definitions based on genotype-phenotype correlations in the familial forms. However, it has been increasingly recognized that (1) there is a marked pleiotropy of mutations in such genes with still expanding clinical spectra; and (2) not all patients clinically presenting with either PKD, PNKD, or PED have mutations in these genes. We aimed to review the clinical features of 500 genetically proven cases published to date. Based on our results, it is clear that there is not a complete phenotypic-genotypic correlation, and therefore we suggest an algorithm to lead the genetic analyses. Given the fact that the reliability of current clinical categorization is not entirely valid, we further propose a novel classification for paroxysmal dyskinesias, which takes into account the recent genetic discoveries in this field.
