Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is associated with various deficits in sensing and responding to reductions in oxygen availability (hypoxia). Here we summarize the evidence pointing to a central role of hypoxia in PD, discuss the relation of hypoxia and oxygen dependence with pathological hallmarks of PD, including mitochondrial dysfunction, dopaminergic vulnerability, and alpha-synuclein-related pathology, and highlight the link with cellular and systemic oxygen sensing. We describe cases suggesting that hypoxia may trigger Parkinsonian symptoms but also emphasize that the endogenous systems that protect from hypoxia can be harnessed to protect from PD. Finally, we provide examples of preclinical and clinical research substantiating this potential.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder for which only symptomatic treatments are available. Both preclinical and clinical studies suggest that moderate hypoxia induces evolutionarily conserved adaptive mechanisms that enhance neuronal viability and survival. Therefore, targeting the hypoxia response pathway might provide neuroprotection by ameliorating the deleterious effects of mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress, which underlie neurodegeneration in PD. Here, we review experimental studies regarding the link between PD pathophysiology and neurophysiological adaptations to hypoxia. We highlight the mechanistic differences between the rescuing effects of chronic hypoxia in neurodegeneration and short-term moderate hypoxia to improve neuronal resilience, termed "hypoxic conditioning". Moreover, we interpret these preclinical observations regarding the pharmacological targeting of the hypoxia response pathway. Finally, we discuss controversies with respect to the differential effects of hypoxia response pathway activation across the PD spectrum, as well as intervention dosing in hypoxic conditioning and potential harmful effects of such interventions. We recommend that initial clinical studies in PD should focus on the safety, physiological responses, and mechanisms of hypoxic conditioning, as well as on repurposing of existing pharmacological compounds. © 2023 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Parkinsonism Relat Disord 2024; 118:105885. [PMID: 37872033 DOI: 10.1016/j.parkreldis.2023.105885] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2023] [Revised: 09/29/2023] [Accepted: 10/01/2023] [Indexed: 10/25/2023]
Abstract
Hypoxia exposure may promote neuroprotection for people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD). However, to implement hypoxia in practical settings and direct future research, it is necessary to organize the current knowledge about hypoxia responses/effects in PwPD. Thus, the present scoping review elucidates the evidence about hypoxia exposure applied to PwPD. Following the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews, papers were searched in PubMed/NCBI, Web of Science, and Scopus (descriptors: Parkinson and hypoxia, mountain, or altitude). We included original articles published in English until August 12, 2023. Eight studies enrolled participants with early to moderate stages of disease. Acute responses demonstrated that PwPD exposed to normobaric hypoxia presented lower hypoxia ventilatory responses (HVR), perceptions of dyspnea, and sympathetic activations. Cumulative exposure to hypobaric hypoxia (living high; 7 days; altitude not reported) induced positive effects on motor symptoms (hypokinesia) and perceptions of PwPD (quality of life and living with illness). Normobaric hypoxia (isocapnic rebreathe, 14 days, three times/day of 5-7 min at 8-10 % of O2) improved HVR. The included studies reported no harmful effects. Although these results demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of hypoxia exposure applied to PwPD, we also discuss the methodological limitations of the selected experimental design (no randomized controlled trials), the characterization of the hypoxia doses, and the range of symptoms investigated. Thus, despite the safety of both normobaric hypoxia and hypobaric hypoxia for early to moderate levels of disease, the current literature is still incipient, limiting the use of hypoxia exposure in practical settings.

Abstract
Although peripheral artery disease (PAD) primarily affects large arteries outside the brain, PAD is also associated with elevated cerebral vulnerabilities, including greater risks for brain injury (such as stroke), cognitive decline and dementia. In the present review, we aim to evaluate recent literature and extract information on potential mechanisms linking PAD and consequences on the brain. Furthermore, we suggest novel therapeutic avenues to mitigate cognitive decline and reduce risk of brain injury in patients with PAD. Various interventions, notably exercise, directly or indirectly improve systemic blood flow and oxygen supply and are effective strategies in patients with PAD or cognitive decline. Moreover, triggering protective cellular and systemic mechanisms by modulating inspired oxygen concentrations are emerging as potential novel treatment strategies. While several genetic and pharmacological approaches to modulate adaptations to hypoxia showed promising results in preclinical models of PAD, no clear benefits have yet been clinically demonstrated. We argue that genetic/pharmacological regulation of the involved adaptive systems remains challenging but that therapeutic variation of inspired oxygen levels (e.g., hypoxia conditioning) are promising future interventions to mitigate associated cognitive decline in patients with PAD.

Abstract
Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is the second most common cause of dementia after Alzheimer's disease. The disease is characterized by many Lewy bodies appearing in the patient's cerebrum. DLB frequently presents with a variety of autonomic symptoms from the early or prodromal stages of the disease, and these are listed as supportive features in the diagnostic criteria. As several useful assessment methods for evaluating autonomic function in DLB have been reported, this review will focus on cardiovascular and respiratory dysfunction and its assessments. Cardiovascular disorders, such as orthostatic hypotension and abnormal heart rate variability, have been reported in DLB patients. Decreased myocardial uptake by metaiodobenzylguanidine myocardial scintigraphy has been added as an indicative biomarker for DLB in the 2017 revision of the diagnostic criteria. We have reported reduced ventilatory response to hypercapnia, abnormal respiratory rhythm, and high frequency of sleep-disordered breathing as abnormalities of the respiratory regulatory system associated with DLB. Since autonomic dysfunction is highly prevalent in DLB from the early or prodromal phase of the disease and is associated with reduced activities of daily living and quality of life, the evaluation of autonomic dysfunction is also useful in the differential diagnosis of DLB from Alzheimer's disease. There are fewer studies on the respiratory regulatory system than on the cardiovascular system, thus further research is needed to explore its role in DLB.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological disorder characterized by progressive degeneration of the substantia nigra that affects mainly movement control. However, pathological changes associated with the development of PD may also alter respiration and can lead to chronic episodes of hypoxia and hypercapnia. The mechanism behind impaired ventilation in PD is unclear. Therefore, in this study, we explore the hypercapnic ventilatory response in a reproducible reserpine-induced (RES) model of PD and parkinsonism. We also investigated how dopamine supplementation with L-DOPA, a classic drug used to treat PD, would affect the breathing and respiratory response to hypercapnia. Reserpine treatment resulted in decreased normocapnic ventilation and behavioral changes manifested as low physical activity and exploratory behavior. The respiratory rate and the minute ventilation response to hypercapnia were significantly higher in sham rats compared to the RES group, while the tidal volume response was lower. All of this appears to be due to reduced baseline ventilation values produced by reserpine. L-DOPA reversed reduced ventilation, indicating a stimulatory effect of DA on breathing, and showed the potency of DA supplementation in restoring normal respiratory activity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Respiratory dysfunction in Parkinson's disease (PD) is common and associated with increased hospital admission and mortality rates. Central and peripheral mechanisms have been proposed in PD. To date no systematic review identifies the extent and type of respiratory impairments in PD compared with healthy controls. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, Web of Science, Pedro, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library and OpenGrey were searched from inception to December 2021 to identify case-control studies reporting respiratory measures in PD and matched controls. RESULTS Thirty-nine studies met inclusion criteria, the majority with low risk of bias across Risk of Bias Assessment tool for Non-randomized Studies (RoBANS) domains. Data permitted pooled analysis for 26 distinct respiratory measures. High-to-moderate certainty evidence of impairment in PD was identified for vital capacity (standardised mean difference [SMD] 0.75; 95% CI 0.45-1.05; p < 0.00001; I2 = 10%), total chest wall volume (SMD 0.38; 95% CI 0.09-0.68; p = 0.01; I2 = 0%), maximum inspiratory pressure (SMD 0.91; 95% CI 0.64-1.19; p < 0.00001; I2 = 43%) and sniff nasal inspiratory pressure (SMD 0.58; 95% CI 0.30-0.87; p < 0.00001; I2 = 0%). Sensitivity analysis provided high-moderate certainty evidence of impairment for forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in 1 s during medication ON phases and increased respiratory rate during OFF phases. Lower certainty evidence identified impairments in PD for maximum expiratory pressure, tidal volume, maximum voluntary ventilation and peak cough flow. CONCLUSIONS Strong evidence supports a restrictive pattern with inspiratory muscle weakness in PD compared with healthy controls. Limited data for central impairment were identified with inconclusive findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Swallowing impairment, including altered physiology and aspiration, occur across the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). The phase of respiration during which a swallow is initiated has been linked to swallowing impairment and aspiration in cohorts with dysphagia following stroke and head and neck cancer treatment, but has been understudied in PD. If similar findings are shown in individuals with PD, the implications for swallowing assessment and treatment are significant. OBJECTIVE The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis of literature was to examine respiratory-swallow coordination measures and potential implications on swallowing physiology in individuals with PD. METHODS An extensive search of 7 databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Central, Web of Science, ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, Scopus, and CINAHL) with predetermined search terms was conducted. Inclusion criteria were individuals with PD and the use of objective evaluations of respiratory-swallow coordination. RESULTS Of the 13,760 articles identified, 11 met the inclusion criteria. This review supports the presence of atypical respiratory swallow patterning, respiratory pause duration and lung volume at swallow initiation in individuals with PD. The meta-analysis estimated an occurrence of 60% of non-expiration-expiration and 40% of expiration-expiration respiratory phase patterns surrounding swallowing. CONCLUSION Although this systematic review supports the occurrence of atypical respiratory-swallow coordination in individuals with PD, the evidence is limited by the variability in the methods of data acquisition, analysis, and reporting. Future research examining the impact of respiratory swallow coordination on swallowing impairment and airway protection using consistent, comparable, and reproducible methods and metrics in individuals with PD is warranted.

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by movement disorders due to the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the ventrolateral region of the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc). Apart from the cardinal motor symptoms such as rigidity and bradykinesia, non-motor symptoms including those associated with respiratory dysfunction are of increasing interest. Not only can they impair the patients’ quality of life but they also can cause aspiration pneumonia, which is the leading cause of death among PD patients. This narrative review attempts to summarize the existing literature on respiratory impairments reported in human studies, as well as what is newly known from studies in animal models of the disease. Discussed are not only respiratory muscle dysfunction, apnea, and dyspnea, but also altered central respiratory control, responses to hypercapnia and hypoxia, and how they are affected by the pharmacological treatment of PD.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, mainly affecting people over 60 yr of age. Patients develop both classic symptoms (tremors, muscle rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability) and nonclassical symptoms (orthostatic hypotension, neuropsychiatric deficiency, sleep disturbances, and respiratory disorders). Thus, patients with PD can have a significantly impaired quality of life, especially when they do not have multimodality therapeutic follow-up. The respiratory alterations associated with this syndrome are the main cause of mortality in PD. They can be classified as peripheral when caused by disorders of the upper airways or muscles involved in breathing and as central when triggered by functional deficits of important neurons located in the brainstem involved in respiratory control. Currently, there is little research describing these disorders, and therefore, there is no well-established knowledge about the subject, making the treatment of patients with respiratory symptoms difficult. In this review, the history of the pathology and data about the respiratory changes in PD obtained thus far will be addressed.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative disorders are a diverse group of conditions caused by progressive degeneration of neurons resulting in cognitive, motor, sensory, and autonomic dysfunction, leading to severe disability and death. Pulmonary dysfunction is relatively common in these conditions, may be present early in the disease, and is less well recognized and treated than other symptoms. There are variable disorders of upper and lower airways, central control of ventilation, strength of respiratory muscles, and breathing during sleep which further impact daily activities and quality of life and have the potential to injure vulnerable neurons. Laryngopharyngeal dysfunction affects speech, swallowing, and clearance of secretions, increases the risk of aspiration pneumonia, and can cause stridor and sudden death. In Parkinson's disease, L-Dopa benefits some pulmonary symptoms but there are limited pharmacological treatment options for pulmonary dysfunction. Targeted treatments include strengthening of respiratory muscles, positive airway pressure in sleep and techniques to improve cough efficacy. Well-designed clinical trials are needed to evaluate the long-term benefits of these interventions. Challenges for the future include earlier identification of pulmonary dysfunction in the clinic, institution of the most effective treatments (based on clinical trials that measure long-term meaningful outcomes) and the development of neuroprotective treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several neurological conditions might worsen with the exposure to high altitude (HA). The aim of this review was to summarize the available knowledge on the neurological HA illnesses and the risk for people with neurological disorders to attend HA locations. METHODS A search of literature was conducted for several neurological disorders in PubMed and other databases since 1970. The neurological conditions searched were migraine, different cerebrovascular disease, intracranial space occupying mass, multiple sclerosis, peripheral neuropathies, neuromuscular disorders, epileptic seizures, delirium, dementia, and Parkinson's disease (PD). RESULTS Attempts were made to classify the risk posed by each condition and to provide recommendations regarding medical evaluation and advice for or against traveling to altitude. Individual cases should be advised after careful examination and risk evaluation performed either in an outpatient mountain medicine service or by a physician with knowledge of HA risks. Preliminary diagnostic methods and anticipation of neurological complications are needed. CONCLUSIONS Our recommendations suggest absolute contraindications to HA exposure for the following neurological conditions: (1) Unstable conditions-such as recent strokes, (2) Diabetic neuropathy, (3) Transient ischemic attack in the last month, (4) Brain tumors, and 5. Neuromuscular disorders with a decrease of forced vital capacity >60%. We consider the following relative contraindications where decision has to be made case by case: (1) Epilepsy based on recurrence of seizure and stabilization with the therapy, (2) PD (± obstructive sleep apnea syndrome-OSAS), (3) Mild Cognitive Impairment (± OSAS), and (4) Patent foramen ovale and migraine have to be considered risk factors for acute mountain sickness.

Abstract
For a long time it was believed that respiratory disorders (RD) in Parkinson's disease (PD) are rare. However, the situation has changed dramatically over the past 10 years. Thus, special studies have revealed RD in almost half of patients with PD. The paper presents: a literature review, classification of RD in PD, various mechanisms of their development and general approaches to their treatment. Classification of RD in PD is presented.

Abstract
Alpha-synuclein aggregation and mitochondrial dysfunction are main pathological hallmarks of Parkinson's disease (PD) and several other neurodegenerative diseases, collectively known as synucleinopathies. However, increasing evidence suggests that they may not be sufficient to cause PD. Here we propose the role of hypoxia as a missing link that connects the complex interplay between alpha-synuclein biochemistry and pathology, mitochondrial dysfunctions and neurodegeneration in PD. We review the partly conflicting literature on alpha-synuclein binding to membranes and mitochondria and its impact on mitochondrial functions. From there, we focus on adverse changes in cellular environments, revolving around hypoxic stress, that may trigger or facilitate PD progression. Inter-dependent structural re-arrangements of mitochondrial membranes, including increased cytoplasmic exposure of mitochondrial cardiolipins and changes in alpha-synuclein localization and conformation are discussed consequences of such conditions. Enhancing cellular resilience could be an integral part of future combination-based therapies of PD. This may be achieved by boosting the capacity of cellular and specifically mitochondrial processes to regulate and adapt to altered proteostasis, redox, and inflammatory conditions and by inducing protective molecular and tissue re-modelling.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a condition characterized by insufficient tissue oxygenation, which results in impaired oxidative energy production. A reduction in cellular oxygen levels induces the stabilization of hypoxia inducible factor α (HIF-1α), master regulator of the molecular response to hypoxia, involved in maintaining cellular homeostasis and driving hypoxic adaptation through the control of gene expression. Due to its high energy requirement, the brain is particularly vulnerable to oxygen shortage. Thus, hypoxic injury can cause significant metabolic changes in neural cell populations, which are associated with neurodegeneration. Recent evidence suggests that regulating HIF-1α may ameliorate the cellular damage in neurodegenerative diseases. Indeed, the hypoxia/HIF-1α signaling pathway has been associated to several processes linked to Parkinson's disease (PD) including gene mutations, risk factors and molecular pathways such as mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress and protein degradation impairment. This review will explore the impact of hypoxia and HIF-1α signaling on these specific molecular pathways that influence PD development and will evaluate different novel neuroprotective strategies involving HIF-1α stabilization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) experience significant vocal communication deficits. Findings in the Pink1-/- rat model of early-onset PD suggest that ultrasonic vocal communication is impaired early, progressively worsens prior to nigrostriatal dopamine depletion, and is associated with loss of locus coeruleus neurons, brainstem α-synuclein, and larynx pathology. Individuals with PD also demonstrate ventilatory deficits and altered sensory processing, which may contribute to vocal deficits. OBJECTIVE The central hypothesis is that ventilatory and sensory deficits are present in the early disease stages when limb and vocal motor deficits also present. METHODS Pink1-/- rats were compared to wildtype (WT) controls at longitudinal timepoints. Whole-body flow through plethysmography was used to measure ventilation in the following conditions: baseline, hypoxia, and maximal chemoreceptor stimulation. Plantar thermal nociception, and as a follow up to previous work, limb gait and vocalization were analyzed. Serotonin density (5-HT) in the dorsal raphe was quantified post-mortem. RESULTS Baseline breathing frequencies were consistently higher in Pink1-/- rats at all time points. In hypoxic conditions, there were no significant changes between genotypes. With hypercapnia, Pink1-/- rats had decreased breathing frequencies with age. Thermal withdrawal latencies were significantly faster in Pink1-/- compared with WT rats across time. No differences in 5-HT were found between genotypes. Vocal peak frequency was negatively correlated to tidal volume and minute ventilation in Pink1-/- rats. CONCLUSION This work suggests that abnormal nociceptive responses in Pink1-/- rats and ventilatory abnormalities may be associated with abnormal sensorimotor processing to chemosensory stimuli during disease manifestation.

Abstract
Respiratory complaints are not uncommon in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). While many are explained by pulmonary and cardiovascular problems unrelated to PD, secondary effects of PD, such as kyphoscoliosis, respiratory muscle rigidity, repeated pneumonias, or side effects of medication such as dyskinesias, there is a small group of patients with paroxysmal dyspnea for whom neither anxiety or other explanation has been found. This Point of View was written to call attention to this neglected, uncommon, but very distressing symptom.

Abstract
Like in other neurodegenerative diseases, protein aggregation, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress and neuroinflammation are hallmarks of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Differentiating characteristics of PD include the central role of α-synuclein in the aggregation pathology, a distinct vulnerability of the striato-nigral system with the related motor symptoms, as well as specific mitochondrial deficits. Which molecular alterations cause neurodegeneration and drive PD pathogenesis is poorly understood. Here, we summarize evidence of the involvement of three interdependent factors in PD and suggest that their interplay is likely a trigger and/or aggravator of PD-related neurodegeneration: hypoxia, acidification and inflammation. We aim to integrate the existing knowledge on the well-established role of inflammation and immunity, the emerging interest in the contribution of hypoxic insults and the rather neglected effects of brain acidification in PD pathogenesis. Their tight association as an important aspect of the disease merits detailed investigation. Consequences of related injuries are discussed in the context of aging and the interaction of different brain cell types, in particular with regard to potential consequences on the vulnerability of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. A special focus is put on the identification of current knowledge gaps and we emphasize the importance of related insights from other research fields, such as cancer research and immunometabolism, for neurodegeneration research. The highlighted interplay of hypoxia, acidification and inflammation is likely also of relevance for other neurodegenerative diseases, despite disease-specific biochemical and metabolic alterations.

Abstract
Respiratory dysfunctions have been associated with Parkinson's disease since the first observations of the disease in 1817. Patients with Parkinson's disease frequently present respiratory disorders with obstructive ventilatory patterns and restrictive modifications, as well as limitations in respiratory volumes. In addition, respiratory impairments are observed due to the rigidity and kyphosis that Parkinson's disease patients experience. Subsidiary pulmonary complications can also appear as side effects of medication. Silent aspiration can be the cause of pneumonia in Parkinson's disease. Pulmonary dysfunction is one of the main factors that leads to the morbidity and mortality of patients with Parkinson's disease. Here, we performed a narrative review of the literature and reviewed studies on dyspnea, lung volumes, respiratory muscle function, sleep breathing disorders, and subsidiary speech and swallow impairments related to pulmonary dysfunction in patients with Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE Depression seems to aggravate progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). Hypoxia stress may be one of the pathogenic factors leading to PD. We investigated the characteristics of PD and factors related to Parkinson's disease depression (PDD) at high altitude (mean altitude ≥2300 m). PATIENTS AND METHODS Totally 221 PD patients of three different nationalities (Han, Hui, and Tibetan) were recruited in a high-altitude hospital. Depression was present in 55.6% of them. Patient data were examined, including demographic information, medical history, disease duration and family history. Psychopathological characteristics and motor signs were assessed by the Hamilton Depression scale (HAMD) and scales for motor and non-motor symptoms in the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). Progression of PD was evaluated by the modified Hoehn and Yahr (H-Y) staging system. RESULTS Mean age (47.1% men) was 68.25±13.67 years old, with disease duration of 4.18±5.13 years and median H-Y scores 2.07±0.97 points. Among three different nationalities, PD rate was 69.2% in Han nationals, 17.6% in Hui nationals and 13.1% in Tibetans of 221 PD patients. Compared with the non-depressed PD group, female, no-smoking and living alone rates, and dysphagia, pain, H-Y stage, ADL, UPDRS-I, UPDRS-III, HAMA, and PSQI scores were significantly increased in the PDD group, while MMSE scores were significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). PD patients of Han and Hui nationalities had increased depression rates compared with Tibetan individuals (P<0.05). Compared with the mild depression group, the moderate and severe depression groups had significantly increased salivation, dysphagia, H-Y stage, UPDRS-I, UPDRS-III, HAMA, and PSQI scores (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Living alone rates and ADL scores were increased in the severe depression group (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that living alone (OR=19.833, 95% CI: 2.758-142.624, P<0.01), UPDRS-III score (OR=1.079, 95% CI: 1.009-1.153, P<0.05), and PSQI score (OR=1.538, 95% CI: 1.347-1.755, P<0.001) were risk factors for PDD. Male gender (OR=0.292, 95% CI: 0.112-0.763, P<0.05) was a protective factor in PDD. CONCLUSION PDD is associated with gender, ethnicity, loneliness, non-motor symptoms (NMSs), motor symptoms, and disease severity, and depression severity. Living alone, dyskinesia, and sleep disorder are risk factors for PDD at high altitude. A relative protection against depression was observed in the Tibetan population.

Abstract
The presence of respiratory symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) has been known since the first description of the disease, even though the prevalence and incidence of these disturbances are not well defined. Several causes have been reported, comprising obstructive and restrictive pulmonary disease and changes in the central ventilatory control, and different pathogenetic mechanisms have been postulated accordingly. In our review, we encompass the current knowledge about respiratory abnormalities in PD, as well as the impact of anti-Parkinsonian drugs as either risk or protective factors. A description of putative pathogenetic mechanisms is also provided, and possible treatments are discussed, focusing on the importance of recognising and treating respiratory symptoms as a key manifestation of the disease itself. A brief description of respiratory dysfunctions in atypical Parkinsonism, especially α-synucleinopathies, is also provided. This review addresses current knowledge about respiratory dysfunctions in Parkinson's disease, from the aetiopathology to pharmacological and invasive treatments, describing the different clinical phenotypeshttps://bit.ly/2X7OLtN

Abstract
Introduction Striatal tonic dopamine increases rapidly during global cerebral hypoxia. This phenomenon has previously been studied using microdialysis techniques which have relatively poor spatio-temporal resolution. In this study, we measured changes in tonic dopamine during hypoxia (death) in real time with high spatio-temporal resolution using novel multiple cyclic square wave voltammetry (MCSWV) and conventional fast scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) techniques. Methods MCSWV and FSCV were used to measure dopamine release at baseline and during hypoxia induced by euthanasia, with and without prior alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine (AMPT) treatment, in urethane anesthetized male Sprague-Dawley rats. Results Baseline tonic dopamine levels were found to be 274.1 ± 49.4 nM (n = 5; mean ± SEM). Following intracardiac urethane injection, the tonic levels increased to a peak concentration of 1753.8 ± 95.7 nM within 3.6 ± 0.6 min (n = 5), followed by a decline to 50.7 ± 21.5 nM (n = 4) at 20 min. AMPT pre-treatment significantly reduced this dopamine peak to 677.9 ± 185.7 nM (n = 3). FSCV showed a significantly higher (p = 0.0079) peak dopamine release of 6430.4 ± 1805.7 nM (n = 5) during euthanasia-induced cerebral hypoxia. Conclusion MCSWV is a novel tool to study rapid changes in tonic dopamine release in vivo during hypoxia. We found a 6-fold increase in peak dopamine levels during hypoxia which was attenuated with AMPT pre-treatment. These changes are much lower compared to those found with microdialysis. This could be due to improved estimation of baseline tonic dopamine with MCSWV. Higher dopamine response measured with FSCV could be due to an increased oxidation current from electroactive interferents.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Dyspnea can be present as non-motor symptom in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) improves motor and non-motor symptoms in PD. However, new-onset dyspnea has been reported after DBS surgery. We have studied respiratory characteristics of PD patients with bilateral STN-DBS to assess the impact of DBS on pulmonary function. METHODS STN-DBS PD patients with dyspnea after surgery (cases) were matched with STN-DBS PD patients without dyspnea (controls). Motor and pulmonary function were assessed with stimulation and without medication (on stim/off med), and without stimulation and medication (off stim/off med). Pulmonary function was investigated with spirometry and dyspnea with the Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale (MRCDS) and the Borg Scale (BS). RESULTS Seven cases (five men, 58.30 ± 6.70 years of age) and seven controls (six men, 61.10 ± 6.30 years of age) were enrolled. MRCDS and BS revealed the presence of dyspnea in both groups. No significant changes in pulmonary function were found in both cases and controls in on stim/off med vs. off stim/off med condition (p < 0.05), and in cases vs. controls in on stim/ off med condition (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS No impact of STN-DBS on pulmonary function was found in cases. Impaired perception of dyspnea and spread of stimulation surrounding the STN might account for new-onset dyspnea after DBS surgery. Dyspnea was detected also in controls using ad hoc questionnaires. Our findings suggest further investigation of this non-motor symptom in PD patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dyspnea is a complex and debilitating non-motor symptom experienced by a significant proportion of PD patients which results in limitations to physical ability and a reduction in quality of life. AREAS COVERED The authors highlight the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms that can contribute to dyspnea in PD patients, and provide the clinician with a practical working algorithm for the management of such patients. The authors further highlight important clinical red flags that should be heeded in dyspneic PD patients and discuss therapeutic strategies for managing dyspnea. EXPERT OPINION Although awareness of dyspnea in PD is increasing, further studies of its prevalence and natural history at different stages of the disease are needed. In particular, it is important to determine whether dyspnea could be an early or prodromal disease manifestation. Although peripheral mechanisms are likely to play a major role in the pathophysiology of dyspnea, the possibility that central changes in brainstem ventilatory control may also play a part warrants further investigation.

Abstract
The incidence of Parkinson’s disease is increasing worldwide. The motor dysfunctions are the hallmark of the disease, but patients also experience non-motor impairments, and over 40% of the patients experience coexistent abnormalities, such as orthostatic hypotension. Exercise training has been suggested as a coping resource to alleviate Parkinson’s disease symptoms and delay disease progression. However, the body of knowledge is showing that the cardiovascular response to exercise in patients with Parkinson’s disease is altered. Adequate cardiovascular and hemodynamic adjustments to exercise are necessary to meet the metabolic demands of working skeletal muscle properly. Therefore, since Parkinson’s disease affects parasympathetic and sympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system and the latter are crucial in ensuring these adjustments are adequately made, the understanding of these responses during exercise in this population is necessary. Several neural control mechanisms are responsible for the autonomic changes in the cardiovascular and hemodynamic systems seen during exercise. In this sense, the purpose of the present work is to review the current knowledge regarding the cardiovascular responses to dynamic and isometric/resistance exercise as well as the mechanisms by which the body maintains appropriate perfusion pressure to all organs during exercise in patients with Parkinson’s disease. Results from patients with Parkinson’s disease and animal models of Parkinson’s disease provide the reader with a well-rounded knowledge base. Through this, we will highlight what is known and not known about how the neural control of circulation is responding during exercise and the adaptations that occur when individuals exercise regularly.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is most commonly manifested by the presence of motor symptoms. However, non-motor symptoms occur several years before the onset of motor symptoms themselves. Hallmarks of dysfunction of the respiratory system are still outside the main focus of interest, whether by clinicians or scientists, despite their indisputable contribution to the morbidity and mortality of patients suffering from PD. In addition, many of the respiratory symptoms are already present in the early stages of the disease and efforts to utilize these parameters in the early diagnosis of PD are now intensifying. Mechanisms that lead to the development and progression of respiratory symptoms are only partially understood. This review focuses mainly on the comparison of respiratory problems observed in clinical studies with available findings obtained from experimental animal models. It also explains pathological changes observed in non-neuronal tissues in subjects with PD.

Abstract
Cough, an important respiratory symptom, predominantly involves the brainstem and the urge-to-cough (UTC) is modulated by the cerebral cortex. Lewy body disease is associated with decreased cough reflex sensitivity and central respiratory chemosensitivity. Additionally, the insula, associated with the UTC, shows decreased activation and atrophy in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). We investigated the relationships between cognition and cough reflex and the UTC and compared the differences in responses of patients with DLB and other dementia subtypes. We conducted a cross-sectional study within a geriatric ward of a university hospital involving elderly patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease (AD), DLB, or non-dementia (controls). The cough reflex sensitivities were estimated based on the lowest concentrations of inhaled citric acid that could induce ≥2 coughs (C2) or ≥5 coughs (C5). Subjects were asked to rate the UTC based on the threshold concentrations (Cu) using the modified Borg scale. C2, C5 and Cu were negatively correlated with cognitive function in female participants but not in males (p<0.01). The cough reflex sensitivities expressed as C2 and C5 were significantly higher in the DLB group than in the AD and control groups (p<0.01 adjusted for gender). The UTC threshold expressed as Cu was also significantly higher in the DLB group, while the UTC log–log slope was less responsive in the DLB group than in the other groups. The cough reflex sensitivity and perceived UTC deteriorated in the DLB group more than in the other groups. This result might be valuable in treating patients with DLB. Morbidity and mortality of aspiration pneumonia (AP) in people with dementia are increasing. The cough reflex sensitivity and the urge to cough, which are important responsible factors for AP, are deteriorated in dementia with Lewy bodies.http://bit.ly/2Yyax9w

Abstract
Respiratory disturbances present in Parkinson's disease (PD) are not well understood. Thus, studies in animal models aimed to link brain dopamine (DA) deficits with respiratory impairment are needed. Adult Wistar rats were lesioned with injection of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) into the third cerebral ventricle. Two weeks after hypoxic test was performed in whole-body plethysmography chamber, phrenic (PHR) and hypoglossal (HG) nerve activities were recorded in normoxic and hypoxic conditions in anesthetized, vagotomized, paralyzed and mechanically ventilated rats. The effects of activation and blockade of dopaminergic carotid body receptors were investigated during normoxia in anesthetized spontaneously breathing rats. 6-OHDA injection affected resting respiratory pattern in awake animals: an increase in tidal volume and a decrease in respiratory rate had no effect on minute ventilation. Hypoxia magnified the amplitude and minute activity of the PHR and HG nerve of 6-OHDA rats. The ratio of pre-inspiratory to inspiratory HG burst amplitude was reduced in normoxic breathing. Yet, the ratio of pre-inspiratory time to total time of the respiratory cycle was increased during normoxia. 6-OHDA lesion had no impact on DA and domperidone effects on the respiratory pattern, which indicate that peripheral DA receptors are not affected in this model. Analysis of monoamines confirmed substantial striatal depletion of dopamine, serotonin and noradrenaline (NA) and reduction of NA content in the brainstem. In bilateral 6-OHDA model changes in activity of both nerves: HG (linked with increased apnea episodes) and PHR are present. Demonstrated respiratory effects could be related to specific depletion of DA and NA.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent disorder characterized by recurrent upper airway obstruction during sleep resulting in intermittent hypoxemia and sleep fragmentation. Research has recently increasingly focused on the impact of OSA on the brain's structure and function, in particular as this relates to neurodegenerative diseases. This article reviews the links between OSA and neurodegenerative disease, focusing on Parkinson's disease, including proposed pathogenic mechanisms and current knowledge on the effects of treatment.

Abstract
Breathing impairments, such as an alteration in breathing pattern, dyspnoea, and sleep apnoea, are common health deficits recognised in Parkinson's disease (PD). The mechanism that underlies these disturbances, however, remains unclear. We investigated the effect of the unilateral damage to the rat nigrostriatal pathway on the central ventilatory response to hypercapnia, evoked by administering 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) into the right medial forebrain bundle (MFB). The respiratory experiments were carried out in conscious animals in the plethysmography chamber. The ventilatory parameters were studied in normocapnic and hyperoxic hypercapnia before and 14 days after the neurotoxin injection. Lesion with the 6-OHDA produced an increased tidal volume during normoxia. The magnified response of tidal volume and a decrease of breathing frequency to hypercapnia were observed in comparison to the pre-lesion and sham controls. Changes in both respiratory parameters resulted in an increase of minute ventilation of the response to CO(2) by 28% in comparison to the pre-lesion state at 60 s. Our results demonstrate that rats with implemented unilateral PD model presented an altered respiratory pattern most often during a ventilatory response to hypercapnia. Preserved noradrenaline and specific changes in dopamine and serotonin characteristic for this model could be responsible for the pattern of breathing observed during hypercapnia.

Abstract
Respiratory dysfunction has been associated with Parkinson's disease since it was first described in 1817. The respiratory symptoms observed in Parkinson's disease patients vary greatly. Most patients remain asymptomatic, whereas others present with acute shortness of breath and even stridor. In August 2016, an electronic literature search was conducted using PubMed and Google Scholar. Results were screened and studies reporting on respiratory dysfunction associated with Parkinson's disease were included. Respiratory dysfunction is due to a combination of factors including restrictive changes, upper airway obstruction, abnormal ventilatory drive and response to medications. Much debate surrounds the mechanism underlying respiratory dysfunction in Parkinson's disease, its prevalence and the effect of levodopa on respiration. It is clear from this review that larger studies, comparing patients of similar disease duration and severity using the same pulmonary function parameters, are required to provide a better understanding of the pathophysiology underlying respiratory dysfunction in Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
In contrast to some other neurodegenerative diseases, little is known about ventilatory dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease (PD). To assess the spectrum of ventilation disorders in PD, we searched for and reviewed studies of dyspnea, lung volumes, respiratory muscle function, sleep breathing disorders and the response to hypoxemia in PD. Among the studies, we identified some limitations: (i) small study populations (mainly composed of patients with advanced PD), (ii) the absence of long-term follow-up and (iii) the absence of functional evaluations under “off-drug” conditions. Although there are many reports of abnormal spirometry data in PD (mainly related to impairment of the inspiratory muscles), little is known about hypoventilation in PD. We conclude that ventilatory dysfunction in PD has been poorly studied and little is known about its frequency and clinical relevance. Hence, there is a need to characterize the different phenotypes of ventilation disorders in PD, study their relationships with disease progression and assess their prognostic value.

Abstract
Ventilatory inhibition is considered an undesirable pharmacological side effect of pharmacotherapy in neurodegenerative conditions underlain by brain dopamine deficiency. In this context, oleic derivatives of dopamine or N-acyl-dopamines are novel substances that may be of high therapeutic interest as having the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and acting in dopamine-like manner. In the present study we seek to define the influence of N-acyl-dopamines on lung ventilation and its hypoxic responses in the rat. We found that N-oleoyl-dopamine decreased both normoxic and peak hypoxic ventilation in response to 8% acute hypoxia, on average, by 31% and 41%, respectively. Its metabolite, 3'-O-methyl-N-oleoyl-dopamine, caused a 15% ventilatory decrease each, whereas an oleic ester derivative, 3'-O-oleoyl-N-oleoyl-dopamine, caused 11% and 19% ventilatory decreases, respectively. All three N-acyl-dopamines investigated displayed an inhibitory effect on ventilation. The findings indicate that 3'-O-methyl-N-oleoyl-dopamine and 3'-O-oleoyl-N-oleoyl-dopamine performed better than N-oleoyl-dopamine in term of less ventilatory suppression, albeit the differences among the three compounds were modest. We conclude that N-acyl-dopamines are worthy of intensified explorations as potential carriers of dopamine molecule in view of the lack of clinically effective methods of dopamine delivery into the brain in neurodegenerative conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malfunctioning of the serotonergic system in Parkinson's disease may contribute to non-motor symptoms such as respiratory complications. Thus the aim of our study was to investigate the role of serotonin 5-HT2 receptors in the modulation of normoxic breathing and the hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR) in rat model of Parkinson's disease. METHODS Wistar rats were lesioned unilaterally with double 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) injection to the right medial forebrain bundle (MFB). Before lesion and two weeks later animals were put in whole body plethysmography chamber and exposed to hypoxia (8% O2). Before hypoxic tests animals received intraperitoneal injections of DOI and ketanserin. Efficacy of lesion was confirmed by cylinder test, assessing limb use asymmetry. RESULTS Degeneration of the nigrostriatal pathway augmented response of tidal volume and minute ventilation to hypoxia. DOI administration in control and lesion state caused a significant rise in normoxic respiratory rate and minute ventilation. Yet, ventilatory response of these parameters to hypoxia was attenuated. Post-DOI magnitude of HVR in lesioned state was decreased in compare to pre-lesion control. Subsequent ketanserin injection reverted DOI-induced respiratory effects. We demonstrated that 6-OHDA treatment decreased the content of serotonin in the injured striatum and on both sides of the brainstem, leaving the concentration of noradrenaline on unchanged level. CONCLUSIONS These observations showed that damage of the nigrostriatal system initiates changes in the serotonergic system, confirmed by reduced concentration of serotonin in the striatum and brainstem, which affects the magnitude of respiratory response to hypoxia after activation of 5-HT2 receptors.

Abstract
Parkinsonism is underlain by dopamine (DA) deficiency in the mid-brain, a neurotransmitter innately involved with respiratory regulation. However, the state of respiration in parkinsonism is an unsettled issue. In this study we seek to determine ventilation and its responses to hypoxia in a reserpine--alpha-methyl-tyrosine model of parkinsonism in the rat. We also attempted to differentiate between the role of discrete brain and carotid body DA stores in the modulation of the hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR). To this end we used domperidone, a peripheral D2 receptor antagonist, and levodopa, a central D2 receptor agonist. The HVRs to acute 12% and 8% hypoxia were studied in a whole body plethysmograph in the same rats before and after the induction of parkinsonic symptoms in conscious rats. We found that resting ventilation and the HVR were distinctly reduced in parkinsonism. The reduction was particularly evident in the peak hypoxic hyperpneic augmentation. Domperidone, which enhanced ventilation in the control healthy condition, failed to reverse the reduced parkinsonic HVR. In contrast, levodopa, which did not appreciably affected ventilation in the healthy condition, caused the parkinsonic HVR to return to and above the baseline healthy level. The findings demonstrate the predominance of a lack of the central DA stimulatory element and minimize the role of carotid body DA in the ventilatory impediment of parkinsonism. In conclusion, the study provides the pathophysiological savvy concerning the respiratory insufficiency of parkinsonism, a sequela which carries a risk of chronically impaired blood oxygenation, which may drive the disease worsening.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a relentlessly progressive neurodegenerative disorder associated with hallmark motor and nonmotor symptoms (NMS) such as sleep disturbances and cognitive dysfunction. While dopaminergic treatments have improved the motor aspects of PD, progression remains inevitable. Research has recently increasingly focused on strategies to modify disease progression and on nonmotor manifestations of PD, given their impact on patients' quality of life. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a treatable sleep disorder, common in the general population, associated with excessive daytime sleepiness and neurocognitive deficits. Neuroimaging has demonstrated structural and functional changes in OSA patients; in animal models, OSA causes brain inflammation and oxidative injury, including in key areas involved in PD pathophysiology such as locus coeruleus. The prevalence of OSA in PD has been variable in studies to date, and potential consequences and interrelationship between the two disorders have not been well studied. There is however emerging evidence that OSA is associated with increased NMS in PD, particularly cognitive dysfunction. This review focuses on the possible interrelationship between OSA and PD. Mechanisms promoting OSA in PD will be reviewed, as well as mechanisms whereby OSA can affect the neurodegenerative process in PD.

Abstract
Although respiratory abnormalities are associated with parkinsonism, patients rarely complain of dyspnea. This study describes ten patients with parkinsonism and symptoms of dyspnea and respiratory distress that were unexplained by a pulmonary or cardiac abnormality or a psychological problem. Suggested underlying mechanisms are a central pathology affecting respiratory rhythm generation at the brainstem or lack of coordination of the respiratory muscles causing involuntary movements of the diaphragm. Dyspnea and respiratory distress should be included among the non-motor symptoms of parkinsonism.

Abstract
In cancer, DJ-1/PARK7 acts as an oncogene that drives Akt-mediated cell survival. Although amplification of DJ-1 has been described in several types of tumors, the mechanistic basis of DJ-1's oncogenic effect remains incompletely understood. A tumor's ability to adapt to hypoxia is absolutely critical for its survival and progression, and this adaptation is largely mediated by the transcription factor HIF1. The stabilization of HIF1 subunits during hypoxia is at least partly dependent on the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. We hypothesized that DJ-1, a positive regulator of Akt when over-expressed, might be involved in regulating HIF1 transcriptional activity under hypoxic conditions. Our results show that loss of DJ-1 in human cell lines and transformed mouse fibroblasts decreases the transcription of a variety of HIF1-responsive genes during hypoxia. Moreover, DJ-1 expression is critical for the Akt and mTOR activities that sustain HIF1 stability. Surprisingly, DJ-1 also regulates the activity of the metabolic sensor AMPK, especially during hypoxia. Finally, DJ-1 appears to protect cells against hypoxia-induced cell death and is required for their adaptation to severe hypoxic stress. Our work positions DJ-1 as an upstream activator of HIF1 function in cancer cells and establishes that DJ-1's oncogenic activity stems from its ability to increase a cell's resistance to hypoxic stress through DJ-1's regulatory effects on mTOR and AMPK. The discovery of these functions of DJ-1 strengthens the case for the development of therapeutics that target DJ-1 activity in cancer cells.

Abstract
Dyspnea, or the uncomfortable awareness of respiratory distress, is a common symptom experienced by most people at some point during their lifetime. It is commonly encountered in individuals with pulmonary disease, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but can also be seen in healthy individuals after strenuous exercise, at altitude or in response to psychological stress. Dyspnea is a multifactorial sensation involving the brainstem, cortex, and limbic system, as well as mechanoreceptors, irritant receptors and chemoreceptors. Chemoreceptors appear to contribute to the sensation of dyspnea in two ways. They stimulate the respiratory control system in response to hypoxia and/or hypercapnia, and the resultant increase respiratory motor output can be consciously perceived as unpleasant. They also can induce the sensation of dyspnea through an as yet undetermined mechanism-potentially via direct ascending connections to the limbic system and cortex. The goal of this article is to briefly review how changes in blood gases reach conscious awareness and how chemoreceptors are involved in dyspnea.

Abstract
RATIONALE In adult rats, bilateral ablation of pre-Bötzinger complex (preBötC) neurokinin 1-expressing (NK1R) neurons leads to a progressive and irreversible disruption in breathing pattern, initially during sleep, eventually resulting in an ataxic breathing pattern during wakefulness. OBJECTIVES Here we determine whether ablation of fewer preBötC NK1R neurons leads to a persistent pattern of disordered breathing during sleep but not during wakefulness. METHODS Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 12) were instrumented to record diaphragmatic, abdominal, and neck EMG, and EEG. Fourteen days later, a second surgery was performed to stereotaxically microinject into the preBötC on one side the toxin saporin conjugated to substance P (SP-SAP), which selectively ablates NK1R neurons. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Postinjection, rats were monitored within a plethysmograph until they were killed (Days 21-51). At Days 6-9 post-unilateral SP-SAP injection, respiratory pattern during sleep, particularly REM sleep, became increasingly disordered, characterized by an increase in frequency of central sleep apnea and hypopneas (36.8 +/- 7.4 episodes/h of REM vs. 6 +/- 2.0 episodes/h in preinjection controls; P < 0.05), whereas breathing during resting wakefulness remained stable. Unlike bilateral SP-SAP-injected rats, an ataxic breathing pattern did not develop during wakefulness. Rats that were monitored up to 51 days post-SP-SAP injection continued to have sleep-disordered breathing; breathing during wakefulness remained relatively stable. Histologic analysis of the ventrolateral medulla confirmed that NK1R neurons within the preBötC on the injected but not on the contralateral side of the medulla were ablated. CONCLUSIONS Gradual loss of preBötC NK1R neurons may be an underlying factor of sleep-disordered breathing, in particular of central sleep apnea.

Abstract
Heme is an essential molecule for life, as it is involved in sensing and using oxygen. Heme must be synthesized and degraded within an individual nucleated cell. Physiologic heme degradation is catalyzed by two functional isozymes of heme oxygenase, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and HO-2, yielding carbon monoxide, iron, and biliverdin, an immediate precursor to bilirubin. HO-1 is an inducible enzyme, but the expression level of HO-2 is maintained in a narrow range. Characteristically, human HO-1 contains no Cys residue, whereas human HO-2 contains three Cys residues, each of which might be involved in heme binding. These features suggest separate physiologic roles of HO-1 and HO-2. Recent studies have shown that the expression levels of HO-1 and HO-2 are reduced under hypoxia, depending on the cell types. Moreover, we have proposed HO-2 as a potential O(2) sensor, because HO-2-deficient mice show hypoxemia and a blunted hypoxic ventilatory response with normal hypercapnic ventilatory response. HO-2-deficient mice also show hypertrophy of the pulmonary venous myocardium and enlargement of the carotid body. These morphometric changes are attributable to chronic hypoxemia. Here, we update the understanding of the regulation of HO-1 and HO-2 expression and summarize the regulatory role of HO-2 in the intercellular communication.
