Abstract
L-DOPA is the standard treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD), but chronic treatment typically leads to L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID). LID involves a complex interaction between the remaining dopamine (DA) system and the semi-homologous serotonin (5-HT) system. Since serotonin transporters (SERT) have some affinity for DA uptake, they may serve as a functional compensatory mechanism when DA transporters (DAT) are scant. DAT and SERT's functional contributions in the dyskinetic brain have not been well delineated. The current investigation sought to determine how DA depletion and L-DOPA treatment affect DAT and SERT transcriptional processes, translational processes, and functional DA uptake in the 6-hydroxydopamine-lesioned hemi-parkinsonian rat. Rats were counterbalanced for motor impairment into equally lesioned treatment groups then given daily L-DOPA (0 or 6 mg/kg) for 2 weeks. At the end of treatment, the substantia nigra was processed for tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and DAT gene expression and dorsal raphe was processed for SERT gene expression. The striatum was processed for synaptosomal DAT and SERT protein expression and ex vivo DA uptake. Nigrostriatal DA loss severely reduced DAT mRNA and protein expression in the striatum with minimal changes in SERT. L-DOPA treatment, while not significantly affecting DAT or SERT alone, did increase striatal SERT:DAT protein ratios. Using ex vivo microdialysis, L-DOPA treatment increased DA uptake via SERT when DAT was depleted. Overall, these results suggest that DA loss and L-DOPA treatment uniquely alter DAT and SERT, revealing implications for monoamine transporters as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets in the hemi-parkinsonian model and dyskinetic PD patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Parkinson's disease is a chronic neurodegenerative multisystemic disorder that affects approximately 2% of the population over 65 years old. This disorder is characterized by motor symptoms which are frequently accompanied by non-motor symptoms such as cognitive disorders. Current drug therapies aim to reduce the symptoms and increase the patient's life expectancy. Nevertheless, there is heterogeneity in therapy response in terms of efficacy and adverse effects. This wide range in response may be linked to genetic variability. Thus, it has been suggested that pharmacogenomics may help to tailor and personalize drug therapy for Parkinson's disease. AREAS COVERED This review describes and updates the clinical impact of genetic factors associated with the efficacy and adverse drug reactions related to common medications used to treat Parkinson's disease. Additionally, we highlight current informative recommendations for the drug treatment of Parkinson's disease. EXPERT OPINION The pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and safety profiles of Parkinson's disease drugs do not favor the development of pharmacogenetic tests with a high probability of success. The chances of obtaining ground-breaking pharmacogenetics biomarkers for Parkinson's disease therapy are limited. Nevertheless, additional information on the metabolism of certain drugs, and an analysis of the potential of pharmacogenetics in novel drugs could be of interest.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a clinically heterogeneous disorder with poorly understood pathological contributing factors. Depression presents one of the most frequent non-motor PD manifestations, and several genetic polymorphisms have been suggested that could affect the depression risk in PD. Therefore, in this review we have collected recent studies addressing the role of genetic factors in the development of depression in PD, aiming to gain insights into its molecular pathobiology and enable the future development of targeted and effective treatment strategies. Materials and Methods: we have searched PubMed and Scopus databases for peer-reviewed research articles published in English (pre-clinical and clinical studies as well as relevant reviews and meta-analyses) investigating the genetic architecture and pathophysiology of PD depression. Results: in particular, polymorphisms in genes related to the serotoninergic pathway (sodium-dependent serotonin transporter gene, SLC6A4, tryptophan hydrolase-2 gene, TPH2), dopamine metabolism and neurotransmission (dopamine receptor D3 gene, DRD3, aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 gene, ALDH2), neurotrophic factors (brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene, BDNF), endocannabinoid system (cannabinoid receptor gene, CNR1), circadian rhythm (thyrotroph embryonic factor gene, TEF), the sodium-dependent neutral amino acid transporter B(0)AT2 gene, SLC6A15), and PARK16 genetic locus were detected as altering susceptibility to depression among PD patients. However, polymorphisms in the dopamine transporter gene (SLC6A3), monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) and B (MAOB) genes, catechol-O-methyltransferase gene (COMT), CRY1, and CRY2 have not been related to PD depression. Conclusions: the specific mechanisms underlying the potential role of genetic diversity in PD depression are still under investigation, however, there is evidence that they may involve neurotransmitter imbalance, mitochondrial impairment, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation, as well as the dysregulation of neurotrophic factors and their downstream signaling pathways.

Abstract
Psychosis in Parkinson's disease (PDP) represents a common and debilitating condition that complicates Parkinson's disease (PD), mainly in the later stages. The spectrum of psychotic symptoms are heterogeneous, ranging from minor phenomena of mild illusions, passage hallucinations and sense of presence to severe psychosis consisting of visual hallucinations (and rarely, auditory and tactile or gustatory) and paranoid delusions. PDP is associated with increased caregiver stress, poorer quality of life for patients and carers, reduced survival and risk of institutionalization with a significant burden on the healthcare system. Although several risk factors for PDP development have been identified, such as aging, sleep disturbances, long history of PD, cognitive impairment, depression and visual disorders, the pathophysiology of psychosis in PD is complex and still insufficiently clarified. Additionally, several drugs used to treat PD can aggravate or even precipitate PDP. Herein, we reviewed and critically analyzed recent studies exploring the genetic architecture of psychosis in PD in order to further understand the pathophysiology of PDP, the risk factors as well as the most suitable therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies explored polymorphisms of multiple genes as contributing to genetic susceptibility to psychosis in Parkinson's disease (PDP). OBJECTIVE We aimed to examine the association of seven selected polymorphisms of genes related to dopamine pathways with PDP development. At the same time, demographic and clinical correlates of PDP were assessed. METHODS PD patients (n = 234), treated with levodopa for at least two years, were genotyped for the rs4680 in COMT, rs6277, rs1076560, and rs2283265 in DRD2, and rs1800497 and rs2734849 polymorphisms in ANKK1 genes. Also, variable number of tandem repeats polymorphism in the DAT gene was examined. Each patient underwent comprehensive neurological examination, assessment of psychosis, as defined by the NINDS/NIMH criteria, as well as screening of depression, anxiety, and cognitive status. RESULTS Diagnostic criteria for PDP were met by 101 (43.2%) patients. They had longer disease duration, were taking higher doses of dopaminergic agents, and had higher scores of the motor and non-motor scales than the non-PDP group. Multivariate regression analysis revealed LEDD≥900 mg, Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale III part score, the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale score≥7, the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale score > 14,and GG homozygotes of rs2734849 ANKK1 as independent predictors of the onset of PDP. CONCLUSION Besides previous exposure to dopaminergic drugs, impairment of motor status, depression and anxiety, as well-established clinical risk factors for the development of PDP, GG rs2734849 ANKK1 could also be a contributing factor, which requires addressing by future longitudinal studies.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD)-related phenotypes can vary among patients substantially, including response to dopaminergic treatment in terms of efficacy and occurrence of adverse events. Many pharmacogenetic studies have already been conducted to find genetic markers of response to dopaminergic treatment. Integration of genetic and clinical data has already resulted in construction of clinical pharmacogenetic models for prediction of adverse events. However, the results of pharmacogenetic studies are inconsistent. More comprehensive genome-wide approaches are needed to find genetic biomarkers of PD-related phenotypes to better explain the variability in response to treatment. These genetic markers should be integrated with clinical, environmental, imaging, and other omics data to build clinically useful algorithms for personalization of PD management.

Abstract
Visual hallucinations are significant nonmotor symptoms in the course of treatment of Parkinson's disease. Previous studies have shown that the interindividual variability and pharmacogenetic profile of Parkinson's disease patients seem to influence the occurrence of visual hallucinations. In our study, we investigated a possible relationship of sequence variants in DRD1, DRD2, DRD3, DAT1, and COMT genes with the presence of visual hallucinations in Parkinson's disease patients. A total of 224 Brazilian patients from the Pro-Parkinson service at the Clinical Hospital of the University of Pernambuco, diagnosed with sporadic Parkinson's disease, were enrolled. Parkinson's disease patients were divided into 2 groups based on the presence or absence of visual hallucinations. The sequence variants for DRD1, DRD2, DRD3, DAT1, and COMT were determined through the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique. Multiple Poisson regression analyses showed that individuals carrying the DRD3 Ser/Ser and Ser/Gly genotypes presented increased prevalence ratios of visual hallucinations (9.7-fold and 4.4-fold, respectively; P < .001). Regarding DAT1 rs28363170, there was a 9.82-fold increase in the prevalence ratio in patients with the 10/11 genotype, 8.78-fold for the 10/8 genotype, and 2.44-fold for the 9/8 genotypes (P < .001, for all). In addition, visual hallucinations were also associated with use of transdermal patches with rotigotine (PR, 3.7; 95%CI, 1.2-10.9; P = .017) and rasagiline (PR, 2.8; 95%CI, 1.3-6.0; P = .006). Our results suggest that the genetic variants DRD3 and DAT1, along with other therapeutic confounders, may influence the prevalence ratio of visual hallucinations.

Abstract
Dopaminergic pathway is the most disrupted pathway in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. Several studies reported associations of dopaminergic genes with the occurrence of adverse events of dopaminergic treatment. However, none of these studies adopted a pathway based approach. The aim of this study was to comprehensively evaluate the influence of selected single nucleotide polymorphisms of key dopaminergic pathway genes on the occurrence of motor and non-motor adverse events of dopaminergic treatment in Parkinson's disease. In total, 231 Parkinson's disease patients were enrolled. Demographic and clinical data were collected. Genotyping was performed for 16 single nucleotide polymorphisms from key dopaminergic pathway genes. Logistic and Cox regression analyses were used for evaluation. Results were adjusted for significant clinical data. We observed that carriers of at least one COMT rs165815 C allele had lower odds for developing visual hallucinations (OR = 0.34; 95% CI = 0.16-0.72; p = 0.004), while carriers of at least one DRD3 rs6280 C allele and CC homozygotes had higher odds for this adverse event (OR = 1.88; 95% CI = 1.00-3.54; p = 0.049 and OR = 3.31; 95% CI = 1.37-8.03; p = 0.008, respectively). Carriers of at least one DDC rs921451 C allele and CT heterozygotes had higher odds for orthostatic hypotension (OR = 1.86; 95% CI = 1.07-3.23; p = 0.028 and OR = 2.30; 95% CI = 1.26-4.20; p = 0.007, respectively). Heterozygotes for DDC rs3837091 and SLC22A1 rs628031 AA carriers also had higher odds for orthostatic hypotension (OR = 1.94; 95% CI = 1.07-3.51; p = 0.028 and OR = 2.57; 95% CI = 1.11-5.95; p = 0.028, respectively). Carriers of the SLC22A1 rs628031 AA genotype had higher odds for peripheral edema and impulse control disorders (OR = 4.00; 95% CI = 1.62-9.88; p = 0.003 and OR = 3.16; 95% CI = 1.03-9.72; p = 0.045, respectively). Finally, heterozygotes for SLC22A1 rs628031 and carriers of at least one SLC22A1 rs628031 A allele had lower odds for dyskinesia (OR = 0.48; 95% CI = 0.24-0.98, p = 0.043 and OR = 0.48; 95% CI = 0.25-0.92; p = 0.027, respectively). Gene-gene interactions, more specifically DDC-COMT, SLC18A2-SV2C, and SLC18A2-SLC6A3, also significantly influenced the occurrence of some adverse events. Additionally, haplotypes of COMT and SLC6A3 were associated with the occurrence of visual hallucinations (AT vs. GC: OR = 0.34; 95% CI = 0.16-0.72; p = 0.005) and orthostatic hypotension (ATG vs. ACG: OR = 2.48; 95% CI: 1.01-6.07; p = 0.047), respectively. Pathway based approach allowed us to identify new potential candidates for predictive biomarkers of adverse events of dopaminergic treatment in Parkinson's disease, which could contribute to treatment personalization.

Abstract
L-dopa-induced dyskinesias (LID) is a common motor side effect of levodopa therapy of Parkinson's disease (PD). The identified predictors may only partially account for the risk of developing LID and genetic factors may contribute to this variability. The present study is aimed to investigate whether polymorphisms in the dopamine transporter gene (DAT) are associated with the risk of developing LID. Genotyping of the 40-bp VNTR (rs28363170) and rs393795 (A/C) polymorphisms of the DAT gene was performed in a well-characterized cohort of 181 Italian PD patients in treatment with L-DOPA for 3 years or more. The results of our study show that there is no difference in dyskinesias prevalence among carriers of the two DAT gene polymorphisms. However, the combination of the two genotypes 10R/10R (rs28363170) and A carrier (rs393795) of the DAT gene reduces the risk of LID occurrence during long-term therapy with l-DOPA with respect to the PD subjects who did not carry these alleles (OR = 0.31; 95% CI, 0.09-0.88). Also based on a logistic regression analysis, the 10R/10R and the A carrier allele of the rs393795 polymorphisms of the DAT gene, could reduce the susceptibility to develop LID during levodopa therapy adjusted by demographical and clinical variables (OR = 0.19; 95% CI, 0.05-0.69). Additional studies further investigating the rs28363170 and rs393795 polymorphisms with LID in PD are needed to clarify their role in different ethnicities.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a progressive loss of dopamine neurons of the central nervous system. The disease determines a significant disability due to a combination of motor symptoms such as bradykinesia, rigidity and rest tremor and non-motor symptoms such as sleep disorders, hallucinations, psychosis and compulsive behaviors. The current therapies consist in combination of drugs acting to control only the symptoms of the illness by the replacement of the dopamine lost. Although patients generally receive benefits from this symptomatic pharmacological management, they also show great variability in drug response in terms of both efficacy and adverse effects. Pharmacogenetic studies highlighted that genetic factors play a relevant influence in this drug response variability. In this review, we tried to give an overview of the recent progresses in the pharmacogenetics of PD, reporting the major genetic factors identified as involved in the response to drugs and highlighting the potential use of some of these genomic variants in the clinical practice. Many genes have been investigated and several associations have been reported especially with adverse drug reactions. However, only polymorphisms in few genes, including DRD2, COMT and SLC6A3, have been confirmed as associated in different populations and in large cohorts. The identification of genomic biomarkers involved in drug response variability represents an important step in PD treatment, opening the prospective of more personalized therapies in order to identify, for each person, the better therapy in terms of efficacy and toxicity and to improve the PD patients' quality of life.

Abstract
Molecular mechanisms of Parkinson's disease (PD) have already been investigated in various different omics landscapes. We reviewed the literature about different omics approaches between November 2005 and November 2017 to depict the main pathological pathways for PD development. In total, 107 articles exploring different layers of omics data associated with PD were retrieved. The studies were grouped into 13 omics layers: genomics-DNA level, transcriptomics, epigenomics, proteomics, ncRNomics, interactomics, metabolomics, glycomics, lipidomics, phenomics, environmental omics, pharmacogenomics, and integromics. We discussed characteristics of studies from different landscapes, such as main findings, number of participants, sample type, methodology, and outcome. We also performed curation and preliminary synthesis of multiple omics data, and identified overlapping results, which could lead toward selection of biomarkers for further validation of PD risk loci. Biomarkers could support the development of targeted prognostic/diagnostic panels as a tool for early diagnosis and prediction of progression rate and prognosis. This review presents an example of a comprehensive approach to revealing the underlying processes and risk factors of a complex disease. It urges scientists to structure the already known data and integrate it into a meaningful context.

A systematic review and integrative approach to decode the common molecular link between levodopa response and Parkinson's disease. BMC Med Genomics 2017; 10:56. [PMID: 28927418 PMCID: PMC5606117 DOI: 10.1186/s12920-017-0291-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2017] [Accepted: 08/24/2017] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Background PD is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder commonly treated by levodopa. The findings from genetic studies on adverse effects (ADRs) and levodopa efficacy are mostly inconclusive. Here, we aim to identify predictive genetic biomarkers for levodopa response (LR) and determine common molecular link with disease susceptibility. A systematic review for LR was conducted for ADR, and drug efficacy, independently. All included articles were assessed for methodological quality on 14 parameters. GWAS of PD were also reviewed. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis using STRING and functional enrichment using WebGestalt was performed to explore the common link between LR and PD. Results From 37 candidate studies on levodopa toxicity, 18 genes were found associated, of which, CAn STR 13, 14 (DRD2) was most significantly associated with dyskinesia, followed by rs1801133 (MTHFR) with hyper-homocysteinemia, and rs474559 (HOMER1) with hallucination. Similarly, 8 studies on efficacy resulted in 4 genes in which rs28363170, rs3836790 (SLC6A3) and rs4680 (COMT), were significant. To establish the molecular connection between LR with PD, we identified 35 genes significantly associated with PD. With 19 proteins associated with LR and 35 with PD, two independent PPI networks were constructed. Among the 67 nodes (263 edges) in LR, and 62 nodes (190 edges) in PD pathophysiology, UBC, SNCA, FYN, SRC, CAMK2A, and SLC6A3 were identified as common potential candidates. Conclusion Our study revealed the genetically significant polymorphism concerning the ADRs and levodopa efficacy. The six common genes may be used as predictive markers for therapy optimization and as putative drug target candidates.

Abstract
In 2007, the clinical and research profile of illusions, hallucinations, delusions and related symptoms in Parkinson disease (PD) was raised with the publication of a consensus definition of PD psychosis. Symptoms that were previously deemed benign and clinically insignificant were incorporated into a continuum of severity, leading to the rapid expansion of literature focusing on clinical aspects, mechanisms and treatment. Here, we review this literature and the evolving view of PD psychosis. Key topics include the prospective risk of dementia in individuals with PD psychosis, and the causal and modifying effects of PD medication. We discuss recent developments, including recognition of an increase in the prevalence of psychosis with disease duration, addition of new visual symptoms to the psychosis continuum, and identification of frontal executive, visual perceptual and memory dysfunction at different disease stages. In addition, we highlight novel risk factors - for example, autonomic dysfunction - that have emerged from prospective studies, structural MRI evidence of frontal, parietal, occipital and hippocampal involvement, and approval of pimavanserin for the treatment of PD psychosis. The accumulating evidence raises novel questions and directions for future research to explore the clinical management and biomarker potential of PD psychosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is a considerable inter-individual heterogeneity in clinical features, disease course, and treatment response in Parkinson's disease (PD), which can be explained not only by disease process and clinical variables, but also by an impact from genetic factors. Evidence-based medicine relies on large randomized control trials and meta-analysis-average medicine, which ignores individual differences. However, we are now in the early phases of a paradigm shift in medicine relating to individuality and variability. The purpose of individualized medicine is to predict patients' responses to targeted therapy using diagnostic tests based on genetics or other molecular mechanisms, thus providing the right drug at the right dose at the right time. AREAS COVERED In this article, we outline current state of individualized medicine for PD. Expert Commentary: Pharmacogenomics, an important element of individualized medicine, is just beginning to be considered in PD. To advance the clinical use of pharmacogenomics, big data cohort for genomic research and multidisciplinary team approaches are necessary.

Abstract
AIM Levodopa is first-line treatment of Parkinson's disease motor symptoms but, dose response is highly variable. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine how much levodopa dose could be explained by biological, pharmacological and genetic factors. PATIENTS & METHODS A total of 224 Parkinson's disease patients were genotyped for SV2C and SLC6A3 polymorphisms by allelic discrimination assays. Comedication, demographic and clinical data were also assessed. RESULTS All variables with p < 0.20 were included in a multiple regression analysis for dose prediction. The final model explained 23% of dose variation (F = 11.54; p < 0.000001). CONCLUSION Although a good prediction model was obtained, it still needs to be tested in an independent sample to be validated.

Abstract
The dopamine transporter (SLC6A3/DAT1) plays a key role in the regulation of dopaminergic neurotransmission and is the major site of action for methylphenidate, a first-line medication for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Most genetic association studies with ADHD have investigated a 40-bp variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) polymorphism in the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of the DAT1, but these investigations have reported heterogeneous findings. The few studies focused on the 5' region have reported promising results. Despite rs2652511 not being included, nor having any proxy SNP available in GWAS, the few candidate gene studies that analyzed it suggested an association with ADHD and schizophrenia. Here, we analyzed the -839 C/T (rs2652511) promoter variant and the 3'-UTR and intron 8 (Int8) VNTR polymorphisms in 522 adults with ADHD and 628 blood donor controls. The diagnostic procedures followed the DSM-IV criteria. A significant association was detected (P = 0.002) between the rs2652511 C-allele with ADHD. In addition, the 6-repeat allele of Int8 VNTR was associated with higher inattention scores (P = 0.034). The haplotype analysis including DAT1 3'-UTR and Int8 VNTR polymorphisms did not reveal associations with ADHD susceptibility or severity dimensions. These findings extend to adult samples previous findings from children samples on the role of the rs2652511 polymorphism in the promoter region of DAT1 as a risk factor for ADHD susceptibility.

Association of common genetic variants of HOMER1 gene with levodopa adverse effects in Parkinson's disease patients. THE PHARMACOGENOMICS JOURNAL 2013; 14:289-94.

Abstract
Levodopa is the most effective symptomatic therapy for Parkinson's disease, but its chronic use could lead to chronic adverse outcomes, such as motor fluctuations, dyskinesia and visual hallucinations. HOMER1 is a protein with pivotal function in glutamate transmission, which has been related to the pathogenesis of these complications. This study investigates whether polymorphisms in the HOMER1 gene promoter region are associated with the occurrence of the chronic complications of levodopa therapy. A total of 205 patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease were investigated. Patients were genotyped for rs4704559, rs10942891 and rs4704560 by allelic discrimination with Taqman assays. The rs4704559 G allele was associated with a lower prevalence of dyskinesia (prevalence ratio (PR)=0.615, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.426-0.887, P=0.009) and visual hallucinations (PR=0.515, 95% CI 0.295-0.899, P=0.020). Our data suggest that HOMER1 rs4704559 G allele has a protective role for the development of levodopa adverse effects.
