Abstract
Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS), including depression, anxiety, apathy, visual hallucinations, and impulse control disorders, are very common during the course of Parkinson's disease (PD), occurring even at the prodromal and premotor stages. Mild behavioral impairment (MBI) represents a recently described neurobehavioral syndrome, characterized by the emergence of persistent and impactful NPS in later life, reflecting arisk of dementia. Accumulating evidence suggests that MBI is highly prevalent in non-demented patients with PD, also being associated with an advanced disease stage, more severe motor deficits, as well as global and multiple-domain cognitive impairment. Neuroimaging studies have revealed that MBI in patients with PD may be related todistinct patterns of brain atrophy, altered neuronal connectivity, and distribution of dopamine transporter (DAT) depletion, shedding more light on its pathophysiological background. Genetic studies in PD patients have also shown that specific single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may be associated with MBI, paving the way for future research in this field. In this review, we summarize and critically discuss the emerging evidence on the frequency, associated clinical and genetic factors, as well as neuroanatomical and neurophysiological correlates of MBI in PD, aiming to elucidate the underlying pathophysiology and its potential role as an early "marker" of cognitive decline, particularly in this population. In addition, we aim to identify research gaps, and propose novel relative areas of interest that could aid in our better understanding of the relationship of this newly defined diagnostic entity with PD.

Association of Neuropsychiatric Symptom Profiles With Cognitive Decline in Patients With Parkinson Disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment. Neurology 2023; 101:e1186-e1195. [PMID: 37524535 PMCID: PMC10516268 DOI: 10.1212/wnl.0000000000207623] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2022] [Accepted: 05/19/2023] [Indexed: 08/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) are closely associated with cognitive decline in patients with Parkinson disease (PD). We investigated which profiles of NPS are associated with the risk of dementia in PD with mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI). METHODS We retrospectively assessed 338 patients with PD-MCI from a single tertiary hospital, who underwent neuropsychological tests and a neuropsychiatric inventory (NPI) questionnaire. We conducted a factor analysis of the dichotomized presence of 12 NPI symptoms, yielding 3 NPI factors: factor 1, mood symptoms; factor 2, hyperactivity-related symptoms; and factor 3, psychotic symptoms. Factor analysis of the severity of NPI symptoms also identified similar NPI factors. The neuropsychiatric correlates of NPI factors were evaluated using general linear models for cognitive tests. Subsequently, we evaluated the hazard ratio (HR) of NPI factors on conversion to dementia. RESULTS A higher prevalence factor 1 score was associated with lower scores in the verbal memory (β = -0.15; 95% CI -0.24 to -0.06; p = 0.001) and executive domains (β = -0.16; 95% CI -0.28 to -0.04; p = 0.007), whereas higher severity factor 2 scores were associated with lower scores in the naming (β = -0.16; 95% CI -0.28 to -0.03; p = 0.012), visuospatial (β = -0.24; 95% CI -0.41 to -0.07; p = 0.005), and verbal memory domains (β = -0.15; 95% CI -0.24 to -0.05; p = 0.005). A higher severity factor 3 score was associated with lower scores in the visuospatial domain (β = -0.25; 95% CI -0.46 to -0.07; p = 0.007). Cox regression models demonstrated that the risk of dementia was increased in those with higher prevalence factor 1 (HR = 1.48, 95% CI 1.17-1.88, p = 0.001) and factor 2 scores (HR = 1.27, 95% CI 1.07-1.51, p = 0.007) and severity factor 3 score (HR = 1.52, 95% CI 1.29-1.80, p < 0.001) after adjusting for age, sex, education, disease duration, scores for cognition and parkinsonism, and levodopa equivalent dose. DISCUSSION This study demonstrated that a higher burden of NPS is associated with dementia conversion in patients with PD-MCI.

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
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 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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this systematic review was (1) to identify the brain regions involved in anxiety in Parkinson's disease (PD) based on neuroimaging studies and (2) to interpret the findings against the background of dysfunction of the fear circuit and limbic cortico-striato-thalamocortical circuit. METHODS Studies assessing anxiety symptoms in PD patients and studies using magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, or single-photon emission computed tomography were included. RESULTS The severity of anxiety was associated with changes in the fear circuit and the cortico-striato-thalamocortical limbic circuit. In the fear circuit, a reduced gray-matter volume of the amygdala and the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC); an increased functional connectivity (FC) between the amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and hippocampus and between the striatum and the medial prefrontal cortex (PFC), temporal cortex, and insula; and a reduced FC between the lateral PFC and the OFC, hippocampus, and amygdala were reported. In the cortico-striato-thalamocortical limbic circuit, a reduced FC between the striatum and ACC; a reduced dopaminergic and noradrenergic activity in striatum, thalamus, and locus coeruleus; and a reduced serotoninergic activity in the thalamus were reported. CONCLUSION To conclude, anxiety is associated with structural and functional changes in both the hypothesized fear and the limbic cortico-striato-thalamocortical circuits. These circuits overlap and may well constitute parts of a more extensive pathway, of which different parts play different roles in anxiety. The neuropathology of PD may affect these circuits in different ways, explaining the high prevalence of anxiety in PD and also the associated cognitive, motor, and psychiatric symptoms. © 2020 The Authors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The glymphatic system, including the perivascular space (PVS), plays a critical role in brain homeostasis. Although mounting evidence from Alzheimer's disease has supported the potential role of PVS in neurodegenerative disorders, its contribution in Parkinson's disease (PD) has not been fully elucidated. Although idiopathic (IPD) and familial PD (FPD) share similar pathophysiology in terms of protein aggregation, the differential impact of PVS on PD subtypes remains unknown. Our objective was to examine the differences in PVS volume fraction in IPD and FPD compared to healthy controls (HCs) and nonmanifest carriers (NMCs). METHODS A total of 470 individuals were analyzed from the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative database, including (1) IPD (n = 179), (2) FPD (LRRK2 [leucine-rich repeat kinase 2], glucocerebrosidase, or α-synuclein) (n = 67), (3) NMC (n = 101), and (4) HCs (n = 84). Total PVS volume fraction (%) was compared using parcellation and quantitation within greater white matter volume at global and regional levels in all cortical and subcortical white matter. RESULTS There was a significant increase in global and regional PVS volume fraction in PD versus non-PD, particularly in FPD versus NMC and LRRK2 FPD versus NMC. Regionally, FPD and NMC differed in the medial orbitofrontal region, as did LRRK2 FPD versus NMC. Non-PD and PD differed in the medial orbitofrontal region and the banks of the superior temporal regions. IPD and FPD differed in the cuneus and lateral occipital regions. CONCLUSIONS Our findings support the role of PVS in PD and highlight a potentially significant contribution of PVS to the pathophysiology of FPD, particularly LRRK2. © 2021 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Abstract
Neuroinflammation and autoimmune mechanisms have a key part in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Therefore, we evaluated the role of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) as a link between inflammation and autoimmunity in PD. An in vivo model of PD was performed by administration of 1-metil 4-fenil 1,2,3,6-tetraidro-piridina (MPTP) at the dose of 20 mg/kg every 2 h for a total administration of 80/kg, both in single Knock Out (KO) mice for TLR7, TLR 8, and TLR9 and in double KO mice for TLR 7/8-/-. All animals were compared with WT animals used as a control group. All animals were sacrificed after 7 days form the first administration of MPTP. The genetic absence of TLR 7 and 8 modified the PD pathway, increasing the immunoreactivity for TH and DAT compared to PD groups and decreasing microglia and astrocytes activation. Moreover, the deletion of TLR7 and TLR8 significantly reduced T-cell infiltration in the substantia nigra and lymph nodes, suggesting a reduction of T-cell activation. Therefore, our result highlights a possibility that an immunotherapy approach, by using a dual antagonist of TLR 7 and 8, could be considered as a possible target to develop new therapies for Parkinson diseases.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by overlapping motor, neuropsychiatric, and cognitive symptoms. Worse performance in one domain is associated with worse performance in the other domains. Commonality analysis (CA) is a method of variance partitioning in multiple regression, used to separate the specific and common influence of collinear predictors. We apply, for the first time, CA to the functional connectome to investigate the unique and common neural connectivity underlying the interface of the symptom domains in 74 non-demented PD subjects. Edges were modeled as a function of global motor, cognitive, and neuropsychiatric scores. CA was performed, yielding measures of the unique and common contribution of the symptom domains. Bootstrap confidence intervals were used to determine the precision of the estimates and to directly compare each commonality coefficient. The overall model identified a network with the caudate nucleus as a hub. Neuropsychiatric impairment accounted for connectivity in the caudate-dorsal anterior cingulate and caudate-right dorsolateral prefrontal-right inferior parietal circuits, while caudate-medial prefrontal connectivity reflected a unique effect of both neuropsychiatric and cognitive impairment. Caudate-precuneus connectivity was explained by both unique and shared influence of neuropsychiatric and cognitive symptoms. Lastly, posterior cortical connectivity reflected an interplay of the unique and common effects of each symptom domain. We show that CA can determine the amount of variance in the connectome that is unique and shared amongst motor, neuropsychiatric, and cognitive symptoms in PD, thereby improving our ability to interpret the data while gaining novel insight into networks at the interface of these symptom domains.

NEUROIMAGE-CLINICAL 2020; 26:102252. [PMID: 32279019 PMCID: PMC7152681 DOI: 10.1016/j.nicl.2020.102252] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2020] [Revised: 03/03/2020] [Accepted: 03/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
Mild behavioral impairment in PD is linked to altered corticostriatal connectivity. PD-MBI have less connectivity between the striatum and the DMN. PD-MBI have increased atrophy of the SAN. Caudate head and dorsal putamen connectivity is related to MBI-C scores in PD. Caudate head-precuneus connectivity is linked to both MBI and MoCA scores.
Background Mild behavioral impairment (MBI) is a syndrome characterized by later life onset, sustained neuropsychiatric symptoms as a marker of dementia risk. In Parkinson's disease (PD), MBI has been associated with worse cognitive abilities and increased cortical atrophy. However, the circuit level correlates of MBI have not been investigated in this population. Our objective was to investigate the relationship between MBI and corticostriatal connectivity in PD patients. This emphasis on corticostriatal connectivity was due to the significant role of these circuits in neuropsychiatric and cognitive symptoms across disease conditions. Methods Seventy-four non-demented patients with PD were administered the MBI-checklist, and classified as having high MBI (PD-MBI; n = 21) or low MBI scores (PD-noMBI; n = 53). Corticostriatal connectivity was assessed with both an atlas and seed-based analysis. The atlas analysis consisted of calculating the average connectivity between the striatal network and the default mode (DMN), central executive (CEN), and saliency networks (SAN). Structural measurements of cortical thickness and volume were also assessed. PD-MBI and PD-noMBI patients were compared, along with a group of age matched healthy control subjects (HC; n = 28). Subsequently, a seed analysis assessed the relationship of MBI scores with the connectivity of twelve seeds within the striatum while controlling for cognitive ability. A complementary analysis assessed the relationship between striatal connectivity and cognition, while controlling for MBI-C. Results PD-MBI demonstrated decreased connectivity between the striatum and both the DMN and SAN compared to PD-noMBI and HC. The decreased connectivity between the striatum and the SAN was explained partly by increased atrophy within the SAN in PD-MBI. The seed analysis revealed a relationship between higher MBI scores and lower connectivity of the left caudate head to the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex and left middle frontal gyrus. Higher MBI-C scores were also related to decreased connectivity of the right caudate head with the anterior cingulate cortex, precuneus, and left supramarginal gyrus, as well as increased connectivity to the left hippocampus and right cerebellar hemisphere. Caudate-precuneus connectivity was independently associated with both global behavioural and cognitive scores. Conclusion These results suggest PD-MBI is associated with altered corticostriatal connectivity, particularly between the head of the caudate and cortical regions associated with the DMN and SAN. In particular, caudate-precuneus connectivity is associated with both global behavioral and cognitive symptoms in PD.

Abstract
Beta-amyloid (Aβ) in the brain is a key pathological feature of certain neurodegenerative diseases. Recent studies using graph theory have shown that Aβ brain networks are of pathological significance in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the characteristics of Aβ brain networks in Parkinson's disease (PD) are unknown. In the present study using positron emission tomography (PET) with [11C]-Pittsburgh compound B (PiB), we applied a graph theory-based analysis to assess the topological properties of Aβ brain network in PD patients with and without Aβ burden (PiB-positive and PiB-negative, respectively) and healthy controls with Aβ burden. We found that the PD PiB-positive group demonstrated significantly lower value in global efficiency and modularity compared with PD PiB-negative group. The less robust modular structure indicates the tendency of having increased inter-modular connections than intra-modular connectivity (i.e., reduced segregation). Results of hub organization showed that relative to PD PiB-negative group, different hubs were identified in the PiB-positive group, which were located mainly within the default mode network. Overall, our findings suggest disturbances in Aβ topological organization characterized by abnormal network integration and segregation in PD patients with Aβ burden. The stronger inter-modular connectivity observed in the PD PiB-positive group may suggest the spreading pattern of Aβ between modules in those PD patients with elevated PiB burden, thus providing insight into the beta-amyloidopathy of PD.

DRD2 Genotype-Based Variants Modulates D2 Receptor Distribution in Ventral Striatum. Mol Neurobiol 2019; 56:6512-6520.

Abstract
Dopaminergic signaling within the striatum is crucial for motor planning and mental function. Neurons within the striatum contain two dopamine D2 receptor isoforms-D2 long and D2 short. The amount of expression for these receptor isoforms is affected by the genotype within two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs2283265 and rs1076560 (both are in high linkage disequilibrium; C > A), found in the DRD2 gene. However, it is unclear how these SNPs affect the distribution of D2 receptors in vivo within the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system. We aim to elucidate this with PET imaging in healthy young adults using [11C]-(+)-PHNO. Participants were genotyped for the DRD2 rs2283265 SNP and a total of 20 enrolled: 9 with CC, 6 with CA, and 5 with AA genotype. The main effect of genotype on [11C]-(+)-PHNO binding was tested and we found significant group effect within the ventral striatum. Specifically, CC and CA carriers had higher binding in this region compared to AA carriers. There were no observed differences between genotypes in other regions within the basal ganglia. Our preliminary results implicate that the polymorphism genotype affects the dopaminergic signaling by controlling either the quantity of D2 receptors, D2 affinity, or a combination thereof within the ventral striatum.
