Abstract
Neurodegenerative disorders (NDDs) are progressive, incurable health conditions that primarily affect brain cells, and result in loss of brain mass and impaired function. Current sensing technologies for NDD detection are limited by high cost, long sample preparation, and/or require skilled personnel. To overcome these limitations, optical sensors, specifically colorimetric sensors, have garnered increasing attention towards the development of a cost-effective, simple, and rapid alternative approach. In this review, we evaluate colorimetric sensing strategies of NDD biomarkers (e.g. proteins, neurotransmitters, bio-thiols, and sulfide), address the limitations and challenges of optical sensor technologies, and provide our outlook on the future of this field.

Abstract
Military personnel deployed in combat operations are highly prone to develop Parkinson's disease (PD) in later lives. PD largely involves dopaminergic pathways with hallmarks of increased alpha synuclein (ASNC), and phosphorylated tau (p-tau) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) precipitating brain pathology. However, increased histaminergic nerve fibers in substantia nigra pars Compacta (SNpc), striatum (STr) and caudate putamen (CP) associated with upregulation of Histamine H3 receptors and downregulation of H4 receptors in human cases of PD is observed in postmortem cases. These findings indicate that modulation of histamine H3 and H4 receptors and/or histaminergic transmission may induce neuroprotection in PD induced brain pathology. In this review effects of a potent histaminergic H3 receptor inverse agonist BF-2549 or clobenpropit (CLBPT) partial histamine H4 agonist with H3 receptor antagonist, in association with monoclonal anti-histamine antibodies (AHmAb) in PD brain pathology is discussed based on our own observations. Our investigation shows that chronic administration of conventional or TiO2 nanowired BF 2649 (1mg/kg, i.p.) or CLBPT (1mg/kg, i.p.) once daily for 1 week together with nanowired delivery of HAmAb (25μL) significantly thwarted ASNC and p-tau levels in the SNpC and STr and reduced PD induced brain pathology. These observations are the first to show the involvement of histamine receptors in PD and opens new avenues for the development of novel drug strategies in clinical strategies for PD, not reported earlier.

Abstract
Objective. To investigate the potential role of Momordica charantia polysaccharides (MCPs) in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and reveal the molecular mechanism of its function. Method. 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) and 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium, MPP+) were used to establish PD mice and cell models. The mice and cells were divided into 4 groups: Control group, Control+MCPs group, PD group, and PD+MCPs group. Pole climbing experiment and Rotarod experiment were used to observe the coordination ability of mice. High-performance liquid chromatography and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were used to determine neurotransmitters and metabolites, inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-1β, oxidative stress-related markers SOD, MDA, and GSH in striatum tissues. Western blot was used to determine the protein levels of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), oxidative stress-related protein Cytochrome C (Cytochrome C), and apoptosis-related proteins Bcl-2, Bax, and cleaved Caspase-3 in tissues and cells. Moreover, flow cytometry, PI staining, and fluorescence were used to observe cell apoptosis. Finally, the activation effect of MCPs on TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway was observed and verified. Results. Compared with the Control group, MPTP treatment can induce brain damage in mice (all
), change the metabolic state of neurotransmitters (all
), induce inflammation (all
), and induce apoptosis and the occurrence of oxidation reaction (all
); however, MCPs treatment can significantly reverse the above changes (all
). In cell models, studies have found that MCPs can play a protective role by regulating the activation state of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway. Conclusion. This study found that the application of MCPs therapy can play anti-inflammatory, antioxidative stress, and antiapoptotic effects in PD by regulating the activation of the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway.

Abstract
The deficiency of dopamine (DA) is clinically linked to several neurological diseases. The detection of urinary DA provides a noninvasive method for diagnosing these diseases and monitoring therapies. In this paper, we report the coassembly of lithocholic acid (LCA) and 3,3'-diethythiadicarbocyanine iodide (DiSC2(5)) at the equimolar ratio in ammonia solution into J-aggregate nanotubes. By integrating the J-aggregate nanotubes into transparent agarose hydrogel films formed on the wall of quartz cuvettes, we fabricate a portable and reproducible sensor platform for the optical detection of DA in synthetic urine. The J-band intensity of the integrated J-aggregate nanotubes is found to linearly decrease with the increase of DA concentrations from 10 to 80 nM, giving the limit of detection of ∼7 nM. The detection mechanism is based on the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) from the excited J-aggregate nanotubes to adsorbed DA-quinone. The PET process used in the sensor platform can reduce the interference of ascorbic acid and uric acid in the detection of DA in synthetic urine. The high sensitivity of the sensor platform is contributed by the delocalized exciton of J-aggregate nanotubes.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the key mechanism involved in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD) based on microarray analysis. The expression profile data of GSE7621, which contained 9 substantia nigra tissues isolated from normals and 16 substantia nigra tissues isolated from PD patients, was obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened, followed by functional enrichment analysis and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network construction. After the miRNAs regulating the DEGs were predicted, the miRNA-DEG regulatory network was then constructed. Besides, the 6-hydroxydopamine rat model of PD was established and the expression of key DEGs and miRNA was detected. A total of 388 DEGs were identified, including 218 upregulated genes and 170 downregulated ones. Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and solute carrier family 6 member 3 (SLC6A3) were significantly related to the functional terms of catecholamine biosynthetic process and dopamine biosynthetic process. TH and SLC6A3 were hub nodes in the PPI network. EBF3 could be targeted by miR-218. Moreover, TH and SLC6A3 were found downregulated in the 6-OHDA rat model of PD, while miR-218 was markedly upregulated. Our results reveal that SLC6A3, TH, and EBF3 targeted by miR-218 could be involved in PD. These molecules might provide a new insight into the development of therapeutic strategies for PD.

Bergeron M, Motter R, Tanaka P, Fauss D, Babcock M, Chiou SS, Nelson S, San Pablo F, Anderson JP. In vivo modulation of polo-like kinases supports a key role for PLK2 in Ser129 α-synuclein phosphorylation in mouse brain. Neuroscience 2013; 256:72-82. [PMID: 24128992 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2013.09.061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2013] [Revised: 09/23/2013] [Accepted: 09/25/2013] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
α-Synuclein is the major component of Lewy bodies. α-Synuclein phosphorylated at Ser 129 (Phospho-α-Syn) is the most common synuclein modification observed in Parkinson's disease pathology and transgenic animal models. Polo-like kinase 2 (PLK2) was previously proposed as an important kinase in α-synuclein phosphorylation at Ser129. To better understand the role of PLK2 in α-synuclein phosphorylation in vivo, we further evaluated the effect of PLK2 genetic knockdown and pharmacological inhibition on Phospho-α-Syn levels in different brain regions of PLK2 knockout (KO), heterozygous (Het) and wild-type (WT) mice. Whereas PLK2 knockdown had no effect on Total-α-synuclein brain levels, it resulted in a gene-dosage dependent, albeit incomplete, reduction of endogenous Phospho-α-Syn levels in all brain regions investigated. No compensatory induction of other α-synuclein kinases (PLK3, casein kinase-2, G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 5 (GRK5) and GRK6) was observed at the mRNA level in the PLK2 KO mouse brain. To determine whether increased activity of another PLK family member is responsible for the residual Phospho-α-Syn levels in the PLK2 KO mouse brain, the pan-PLK inhibitor BI 2536 was tested in PLK2 KO mice. Whereas BI 2536 reduced Phospho-α-Syn levels in WT mice, it did not further reduce the residual endogenous Phospho-α-Syn levels in PLK2 KO and Het mice, suggesting that a kinase other than PLK1-3 accounts for the remaining PLK inhibitor-resistant pool in the mouse brain. Moreover, PLK3 KO in mice had no effect on both Total- and Phospho-α-Syn brain levels. These results support a significant role for a PLK kinase in phosphorylating α-synuclein at Ser129 in the brain, and suggest that PLK2 is responsible for this activity under physiological conditions.
