Acta Neurol Belg 2024; 124:775-790. [PMID: 37982931 DOI: 10.1007/s13760-023-02424-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2023] [Accepted: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 11/21/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) and the risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) have been linked in previous studies. But the outcomes are still up for debate. This meta-analysis examined how DM affected the likelihood of developing PD. METHODS A comprehensive search of international databases, including Medline (PubMed), Web of Sciences, Scopus, and EMBASE until January 2023, was conducted to assess the relationship between DM and PD. Cohort and case-control studies were included. Subgroup analysis was carried out based on the duration of PD, continent, age, PD criteria, DM criteria, and effect size. RESULTS In the meta-analysis, 25 studies encompassing a total of 39,209,316 participants were incorporated. The collective estimation of the relative risk concerning the association between Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and Parkinson's Disease (PD) yielded a value of 1.22 (95% CI 1.08-1.37). Subsequent subgroup analyses unveiled a heightened risk of DM among patients in the Asian demographic, particularly those of a younger age and a longer duration of PD. The findings from our comprehensive meta-analysis underscore a potentially emerging connection between DM and PD. CONCLUSION These results showed that people with DM are more susceptible to developing other neurological diseases, such as PD, indicating that efforts are required to prevent the progression of such diseases among individuals with DM.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease associated with a progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons, clinically characterized by motor and non-motor signs. Frailty is a clinical condition of increased vulnerability and negative health outcomes due to the loss of multiple physiological reserves. Chronic hyperglycemia and insulin resistance, which characterize diabetes mellitus (DM), have been reported to alter dopaminergic activity, increase the risk of PD, and influence the development of frailty. Even though diabetes may facilitate the development of frailty in patients with PD, this relationship is not established and a revision of the current knowledge is necessary. Furthermore, the synergy between DM, PD, and frailty may drive clinical complexity, worse outcomes, and under-representation of these populations in the research. In this review, we aimed to discuss the role of diabetes in the development of frailty among patients with PD. We summarized the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with concomitant DM, PD, and frailty. Finally, interventions to prevent frailty in this population are discussed.

[PMID: 38813124 PMCID: PMC11135279 DOI: 10.1039/d4ra02349h] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024] Open
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus, a complex metabolic disorder, presents a growing global health challenge. In 2021, there were 529 million diabetics worldwide. At the super-regional level, Oceania, the Middle East, and North Africa had the highest age-standardized rates. The majority of cases of diabetes in 2021 (>90.0%) were type 2 diabetes, which is largely indicative of the prevalence of diabetes in general, particularly in older adults (K. L. Ong, et al., Global, regional, and national burden of diabetes from 1990 to 2021, with projections of prevalence to 2050: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021, Lancet, 2023, 402(10397), 203-234). Nowadays, slowing the progression of diabetic complications is the only effective way to manage diabetes with the available therapeutic options. However, novel biomarkers and treatments are urgently needed to control cytokine secretion, advanced glycation end products (AGEs) production, vascular inflammatory effects, and cellular death. Emerging research has highlighted the intricate interplay between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and protein aggregation in the pathogenesis of diabetes. In this scenario, the main aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of the current understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying ROS-induced cellular damage and protein aggregation, specifically focusing on their contribution to diabetes development. The role of ROS as key mediators of oxidative stress in diabetes is discussed, emphasizing their impact on cellular components and signaling. Additionally, the involvement of protein aggregation in impairing cellular function and insulin signaling is explored. The synergistic effects of ROS and protein aggregation in promoting β-cell dysfunction and insulin resistance are examined, shedding light on potential targets for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
As a neurologist who has followed up countless Parkinson's patients over the last 32 years of my fifty-year career; I denied diagnosing myself with Parkinson's disease (PD), although the seldom mild involuntary "twitches" that occurred in the thumb of my right hand over a two-year period, resembled Parkinson's disease tremor. However, when these involuntary contractions became persistent; considering its similarity to characteristic resting tremor in typical PD, the positive effect of dopaminergic medications, the development of levodopa-induced dyskinesias and other non-motor symptoms, it was clear that the PD diagnosis was accurate. This situation naturally caused me anxiety, and for a year and a half, I kept my diagnosis hidden from everyone except a few close relatives. However, with the encouragement of a psychiatrist friend, when I was able to share my condition with my loved ones, I felt a relative reduction in the burden I was carrying and consequently experienced emotional relief. I am still able to carry out my daily activities independently with a rather low dose of medication, and my PD symptoms do not attract noticeable attention.

Electrocardiographic approach strategies in patients with Parkinson disease treated with deep brain stimulation. Front Cardiovasc Med 2024; 11:1265089.

Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an interdisciplinary and reversible therapy that uses high-frequency electrical stimulation to correct aberrant neural pathways in motor and cognitive neurological disorders. However, the high frequency of the waves used in DBS can interfere with electrical recording devices (e.g., electrocardiogram, electroencephalogram, cardiac monitor), creating artifacts that hinder their interpretation. The compatibility of DBS with these devices varies and depends on factors such as the underlying disease and the configuration of the neurostimulator. In emergencies where obtaining an electrocardiogram is crucial, the need for more consensus on reducing electrical artifacts in patients with DBS becomes a significant challenge. Various strategies have been proposed to attenuate the artifact generated by DBS, such as changing the DBS configuration from monopolar to bipolar, temporarily deactivating DBS during electrocardiographic recording, applying frequency filters both lower and higher than those used by DBS, and using non-standard leads. However, the inexperience of medical personnel, variability in DBS models, or the lack of a controller at the time of approach limit the application of these strategies. Current evidence on their reproducibility and efficacy is limited. Due to the growing elderly population and the rising utilization of DBS, it is imperative to create electrocardiographic methods that are easily accessible and reproducible for general physicians and emergency services.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases. Recent data highlight similarities between neurodegenerative diseases, including PD and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), suggesting a crucial interplay between the gut-brain axis. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists, known for their use in T2DM treatment, are currently extensively studied as novel PD modifying agents. For this narrative review article, we searched PubMed and Scopus databases for peer-reviewed research, review articles and clinical trials regarding GLP-1R agonists and PD published in the English language with no time restrictions. We also screened the references of the selected articles for possible additional articles in order to include most of the key recent evidence. Many data on animal models and preclinical studies show that GLP1-R agonists can restore dopamine levels, inhibit dopaminergic loss, attenuate neuronal degeneration and alleviate motor and non-motor features of PD. Evidence from clinical studies is also very promising, enhancing the possibility of adding GLP1-R agonists to the current armamentarium of drugs available for PD treatment.

Sitagliptin elevates plasma and CSF incretin levels following oral administration to nonhuman primates: relevance for neurodegenerative disorders. GeroScience 2024:10.1007/s11357-024-01120-4.

Abstract
The endogenous incretins glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) possess neurotrophic, neuroprotective, and anti-neuroinflammatory actions. The dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitor sitagliptin reduces degradation of endogenous GLP-1 and GIP, and, thereby, extends the circulation of these protective peptides. The current nonhuman primate (NHP) study evaluates whether human translational sitagliptin doses can elevate systemic and central nervous system (CNS) levels of GLP-1/GIP in naive, non-lesioned NHPs, in line with our prior rodent studies that demonstrated sitagliptin efficacy in preclinical models of Parkinson's disease (PD). PD is an age-associated neurodegenerative disorder whose current treatment is inadequate. Repositioning of the well-tolerated and efficacious diabetes drug sitagliptin provides a rapid approach to add to the therapeutic armamentarium for PD. The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of 3 oral sitagliptin doses (5, 20, and 100 mg/kg), equivalent to the routine clinical dose, a tolerated higher clinical dose and a maximal dose in monkey, were evaluated. Peak plasma sitagliptin levels were aligned both with prior reports in humans administered equivalent doses and with those in rodents demonstrating reduction of PD associated neurodegeneration. Although CNS uptake of sitagliptin was low (cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)/plasma ratio 0.01), both plasma and CSF concentrations of GLP-1/GIP were elevated in line with efficacy in prior rodent PD studies. Additional cellular studies evaluating human SH-SY5Y and primary rat ventral mesencephalic cultures challenged with 6-hydroxydopamine, established cellular models of PD, demonstrated that joint treatment with GLP-1 + GIP mitigated cell death, particularly when combined with DPP-4 inhibition to maintain incretin levels. In conclusion, this study provides a supportive translational step towards the clinical evaluation of sitagliptin in PD and other neurodegenerative disorders for which aging, similarly, is the greatest risk factor.

Abstract
Accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) on biopolymers accompanies cellular aging and drives poorly understood disease processes. Here, we studied how AGEs contribute to development of early onset Parkinson's Disease (PD) caused by loss-of-function of DJ1, a protein deglycase. In induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived midbrain organoid models deficient for DJ1 activity, we find that lysosomal proteolysis is impaired, causing AGEs to accumulate, α-synuclein (α-syn) phosphorylation to increase, and proteins to aggregate. We demonstrated these processes are at least partly driven by astrocytes, as DJ1 loss reduces their capacity to provide metabolic support and triggers acquisition of a pro-inflammatory phenotype. Consistently, in co-cultures, we find that DJ1-expressing astrocytes are able to reverse the proteolysis deficits of DJ1 knockout midbrain neurons. In conclusion, astrocytes' capacity to clear toxic damaged proteins is critical to preserve neuronal function and their dysfunction contributes to the neurodegeneration observed in a DJ1 loss-of-function PD model.

Abstract
Aging is a major risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD). Genetic mutations account for a small percentage of cases and the majority appears to be sporadic, with yet unclear causes. However, various environmental factors have been linked to an increased risk of developing PD and, therefore, understanding the complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors is crucial for developing effective disease-modifying therapies. Several studies identified a connection between type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and PD. T2DM is characterized by insulin resistance and failure of β-cells to compensate, leading to hyperglycemia and serious comorbidities. Both PD and T2DM share misregulated processes, including mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, altered proteostasis, protein aggregation, and misregulation of glucose metabolism. Chronic or recurring hyperglycemia is a T2DM hallmark and can lead to increased methylglyoxal (MGO) production, which is responsible for protein glycation. Glycation of alpha-synuclein (aSyn), a central player in PD pathogenesis, accelerates the deleterious aSyn effects. Interestingly, MGO blood plasma levels and aSyn glycation are significantly elevated in T2DM patients, suggesting a molecular mechanism underlying the T2DM - PD link. Compared to high constant glucose levels, glycemic variability (fluctuations in blood glucose levels), can be more detrimental for diabetic patients, causing oxidative stress, inflammation, and endothelial damage. Accordingly, it is imperative for future research to prioritize the exploration of glucose variability's influence on PD development and progression. This involves moving beyond the binary classification of patients as diabetic or non-diabetic, aiming to pave the way for the development of enhanced therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD). While animal studies have supported the benefits of incretin-based therapies, including dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitors, in PD, clinical research has yielded controversial results. This cohort study aimed to assess the relationship between PD incidence and the utilization of DPP4 inhibitor in diabetic patients. Using Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database from 2009 to 2018, diabetic patients receiving metformin plus at least one second-line oral antidiabetic (OAD) were enrolled. The patients were categorized as DPP4 inhibitor users and non-users. Propensity score matching was employed to establish a 1:1 ratio between DPP4 inhibitor users and non-users. Among the 205,910 patients enrolled, 149 were diagnosed with PD during follow-up. The incidence rate was 0.29 per 1000 person-years for DPP4 inhibitor users and 0.55 per 1000 person-years for the non-users. DPP4 inhibitor users exhibited a significantly lower risk of PD (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.51; 95% CI 0.39-0.68). Among DPP4 inhibitor users, vildagliptin showed the strongest correlation with a reduction in the risk of PD. This study demonstrates that the use of DPP4 inhibitors along with metformin in diabetic patients is associated with a lower risk of PD compared to those using other OADs.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder with motor symptoms, which is caused by the progressive death of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc). Accumulating evidence shows that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress occurring in the SNpc DA neurons is an early event in the development of PD. ER stress triggers the activation of unfolded protein response (UPR) to reduce stress and restore ER function. However, excessive and continuous ER stress and UPR exacerbate the risk of DA neuron death through crosstalk with other PD events. Thus, ER stress is considered a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of PD. Various strategies targeting ER stress through the modulation of UPR signaling, the increase of ER's protein folding ability, and the enhancement of protein degradation are developed to alleviate neuronal death in PD models. In this review, we summarize the pathological role of ER stress in PD and update the strategies targeting ER stress to improve ER protein homeostasis and PD-related events.

Abstract
As the prevalence of Parkinson's disease (PD) grows, so too does the population at-risk of developing PD, those in the so-called prodromal period. This period can span from those experiencing subtle motor deficits yet not meeting full diagnostic criteria or those with physiologic markers of disease alone. Several disease-modifying therapies have failed to show a neuroprotective effect. A common criticism is that neurodegeneration, even in the early motor stages, has advanced too far for neuro-restoration-based interventions to be effective. Therefore, identifying this early population is essential. Once identified, these patients could then potentially benefit from sweeping lifestyle modifications to alter their disease trajectory. Herein, we review the literature on risk factors for, and prodromal symptoms of, PD with an emphasis on ones which may be modifiable in the earliest possible stages. We propose a process for identifying this population and speculate on some strategies which may modulate disease trajectory. Ultimately, this proposal warrants prospective studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) is an important gene in studies of the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Recent studies have suggested a possible link between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the pathophysiology of schizophrenia (SZ). At the same time, significant changes in insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) gene expression have been found in the brains of people with schizophrenia. These findings highlight the need to further investigate the role of IDE in schizophrenia pathogenesis. METHODS We enrolled 733 participants from the Czech Republic, including 383 patients with schizophrenia and 350 healthy controls. Our study focused on the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs2421943 in the IDE gene, which has previously been associated with the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. The SNP was analyzed using the PCR-RFLP method. RESULTS The G allele of the rs2421943 polymorphism was found to significantly increase the risk of developing SZ (p < 0.01) when a gender-based analysis showed that both AG and GG genotypes were associated with a more than 1.55 times increased risk of SZ in females (p < 0.03) but not in males. Besides, we identified a potential binding site at the G allele locus for has-miR-7110-5p, providing a potential mechanism for the observed association. CONCLUSION Our results confirm the role of the IDE gene in schizophrenia pathogenesis and suggest that future research should investigate the relationship between miRNA and estrogen influence on IDE expression in schizophrenia pathogenesis.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) usually occurs due to the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra (SN). Management of PD is restricted to symptomatic improvement. Consequently, a novel treatment for managing motor and non-motor symptoms in PD is necessary. Abundant findings support the protection of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors in PD. Consequently, this study aims to reveal the mechanism of DPP-4 inhibitors in managing PD. DPP-4 inhibitors are oral anti-diabetic agents approved for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). T2DM is linked with an increased chance of the occurrence of PD. Extended usage of DPP-4 inhibitors in T2DM patients may attenuate the development of PD by inhibiting inflammatory and apoptotic pathways. Thus, DPP-4 inhibitors like sitagliptin could be a promising treatment against PD neuropathology via anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-apoptotic impacts. DPP-4 inhibitors, by increasing endogenous GLP-1, can also reduce memory impairment in PD. In conclusion, the direct effects of DPP-4 inhibitors or indirect effects through increasing circulating GLP-1 levels could be an effective therapeutic strategy in treating PD patients through modulation of neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neurogenesis.

Abstract
A diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and prediabetes has been associated with increased risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) in several studies, but results have not been entirely consistent. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies on diabetes mellitus, prediabetes and the risk of PD to provide an up-to-date assessment of the evidence. PubMed and Embase databases were searched for relevant studies up to 6th of February 2022. Cohort studies reporting adjusted relative risk (RR) estimates and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association between diabetes, prediabetes and Parkinson's disease were included. Summary RRs (95% CIs) were calculated using a random effects model. Fifteen cohort studies (29.9 million participants, 86,345 cases) were included in the meta-analysis. The summary RR (95% CI) of PD for persons with diabetes compared to persons without diabetes was 1.27 (1.20-1.35, I2 = 82%). There was no indication of publication bias, based on Egger's test (p = 0.41), Begg's test (p = 0.99), and inspection of the funnel plot. The association was consistent across geographic regions, by sex, and across several other subgroup and sensitivity analyses. There was some suggestion of a stronger association for diabetes patients reporting diabetes complications than for diabetes patients without complications (RR = 1.54, 1.32-1.80 [n = 3] vs. 1.26, 1.16-1.38 [n = 3]), vs. those without diabetes (pheterogeneity=0.18). The summary RR for prediabetes was 1.04 (95% CI: 1.02-1.07, I2 = 0%, n = 2). Our results suggest that patients with diabetes have a 27% increased relative risk of developing PD compared to persons without diabetes, and persons with prediabetes have a 4% increase in RR compared to persons with normal blood glucose. Further studies are warranted to clarify the specific role age of onset or duration of diabetes, diabetic complications, glycaemic level and its long-term variability and management may play in relation to PD risk.

Abstract
The p.Thr61Ile (p.T61I) mutation in coiled-coil-helix-coiled-coil-helix domain containing 2 (CHCHD2) was deemed a causative factor in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the pathomechanism of the CHCHD2 p.T61I mutation in PD remains unclear. Few existing mouse models of CHCHD2-related PD completely reproduce the features of PD, and no transgenic or knock-in (KI) mouse models of CHCHD2 mutations have been reported. In the present study, we generated a novel CHCHD2 p.T61I KI mouse model, which exhibited accelerated mortality, progressive motor deficits, and dopaminergic (DA) neurons loss with age, accompanied by the accumulation and aggregation of α-synuclein and p-α-synuclein in the brains of the mutant mice. The mitochondria of mouse brains and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)-derived DA neurons carrying the CHCHD2 p.T61I mutation exhibited aberrant morphology and impaired function. Mechanistically, proteomic and RNA sequencing analysis revealed that p.T61I mutation induced mitochondrial dysfunction in aged mice likely through repressed insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) expression, resulting in the degeneration of the nervous system. Overall, this CHCHD2 p.T61I KI mouse model recapitulated the crucial clinical and neuropathological aspects of patients with PD and provided a novel tool for understanding the pathogenic mechanism and therapeutic interventions of CHCHD2-related PD.

Abstract
We are witnessing a considerable increase in the incidence of Parkinson's disease (PD), which may be due to the general ageing of the population. While there is a plethora of therapeutic strategies for this disease, they still fail to arrest disease progression as they do not target and prevent the neurodegenerative process. The identification of disease-causing mutations allowed researchers to better dissect the underlying causes of this disease, highlighting, for example, the pathogenic role of alpha-synuclein. However, most PD cases are sporadic, which is making it hard to unveil the major causative mechanisms of this disease. In the recent years, epidemiological evidence suggest that type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) individuals have higher risk and worst outcomes of PD, allowing to raise the hypothesis that some dysregulated processes in T2DM may contribute or even trigger the neurodegenerative process in PD. One major consequence of T2DM is the unprogrammed reaction between sugars, increased in T2DM, and proteins, a reaction named glycation. Pre-clinical reports show that alpha-synuclein is a target of glycation, and glycation potentiates its pathogenicity which contributes for the neurodegenerative process. Moreover, it triggers, anticipates, or aggravates several PD-like motor and non-motor complications. A given profile of proteins are differently glycated in diseased conditions, altering the brain proteome and leading to brain dysfunction and neurodegeneration. Herein we coin the term Glycatome as the profile of glycated proteins. In this review we report on the mechanisms underlying the association between T2DM and PD, with particular focus on the impact of protein glycation.

Abstract
BackgroundPrevious studies reported inconsistent results regarding association between diabetes mellitus (DM), prediabetes and risk, disease progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). The meta-analysis was made to investigate association between DM, prediabetes and risk, disease progression of PD.MethodsLiteratures investigating association between DM, prediabetes and risk, disease progression of PD were searched in these databases: PubMed and Web of Science. Included literatures were published before October 2022. STATA 12.0 software was used to compute odds ratios (ORs)/relative risks (RRs) or standard mean differences (SMDs).ResultsDM was associated with a higher risk of PD, compared to non-diabetic participants with a random effects model (OR/RR = 1.23, 95% CI 1.12–1.35, I2 = 90.4%, p < 0.001). PD with DM (PD-DM) was associated with a faster motor progression compared to PD without DM (PD-noDM) with a fixed effects model (RR = 1.85, 95% CI 1.47–2.34, I2 = 47.3%, p = 0.091). However, meta-analysis for comparison in change rate of United Rating Scale (UPDRS) III scores from baseline to follow-up time between PD-DM and PD-noDM reported no difference in motor progression between PD-DM and PD-noDM with a random effects model (SMD = 2.58, 95% CI = −3.11 to 8.27, I2 = 99.9%, p < 0.001). PD-DM was associated with a faster cognitive decline compared to PD-noDM with a fixed effects model (OR/RR = 1.92, 95% CI 1.45–2.55, I2 = 50.3%, p = 0.110).ConclusionsIn conclusion, DM was associated with a higher risk and faster disease decline of PD. More large-scale cohort studies should be adopted to evaluate the association between DM, prediabetes and PD.

Abstract
Glucose metabolism is dysregulated in Parkinson's disease (PD) causing a shift toward the metabolism of lipids. Carnitine palmitoyl-transferase 1A (CPT1A) regulates the key step in the metabolism of long-chain fatty acids. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of downregulating CPT1, either genetically with a Cpt1a P479L mutation or medicinally on PD using chronic rotenone mouse models using C57Bl/6J and Park2 knockout mice. We show that Cpt1a P479L mutant mice are resistant to rotenone-induced PD, and that inhibition of CPT1 is capable of restoring neurological function, normal glucose metabolism, and alleviate markers of PD in the midbrain. Furthermore, we show that downregulation of lipid metabolism via CPT1 alleviates pathological motor and non-motor behavior, oxidative stress, and disrupted glucose homeostasis in Park2 knockout mice. Finally, we confirm that rotenone induces gut dysbiosis in C57Bl/6J and, for the first time, in Park2 knockout mice. We show that this dysbiosis is alleviated by the downregulation of the lipid metabolism via CPT1.

Abstract
Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disorder associated with an increased incidence of cognitive and emotional disorders. Previous studies have indicated that the frontostriatal circuits play a significant role in brain disorders. However, few studies have investigated functional connectivity (FC) abnormalities in the frontostriatal circuits in T2DM. Objective We aimed to investigate the abnormal functional connectivity (FC) of the frontostriatal circuits in patients with T2DM and to explore the relationship between abnormal FC and diabetes-related variables. Methods Twenty-seven patients with T2DM were selected as the patient group, and 27 healthy peoples were selected as the healthy controls (HCs). The two groups were matched for age and sex. In addition, all subjects underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) and neuropsychological evaluation. Seed-based FC analyses were performed by placing six bilateral pairs of seeds within a priori defined subdivisions of the striatum. The functional connection strength of subdivisions of the striatum was compared between the two groups and correlated with each clinical variable. Results Patients with T2DM showed abnormalities in the FC of the frontostriatal circuits. Our findings show significantly reduced FC between the right caudate nucleus and left precentral gyrus (LPCG) in the patients with T2DM compared to the HCs. The FC between the prefrontal cortex (left inferior frontal gyrus, left frontal pole, right frontal pole, and right middle frontal gyrus) and the right caudate nucleus has a significant positive correlation with fasting blood glucose (FBG). Conclusion The results showed abnormal FC of the frontostriatal circuits in T2DM patients, which might provide a new direction to investigate the neuropathological mechanisms of T2DM.

Abstract
Individuals who develop type 2 diabetes (T2D) at an early age are at higher risk of developing neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. A shared dysfunctional characteristic between T2D and these neurodegenerative disorders is insulin resistance. Recently, it was shown that prediabetes animals and patients exhibited increased carotid body (CB) activity. Moreover, these organs are deeply involved in the development of metabolic diseases, since upon abolishment of their activity via carotid sinus nerve (CSN) resection, several dysmetabolic features of T2D were reverted. Herein, we investigated if CSN resection may also prevent cognitive impairment associated with brain insulin resistance. We explored a diet-induced prediabetes animal model where Wistar rats are kept in a high fat-high sucrose (HFHSu) diet for 20 weeks. We evaluated CSN resection effects on behavioral parameters and on insulin signaling-related proteins levels, in the prefrontal cortex and the hippocampus. HFHSu animals exhibited impaired short-term memory evaluated by the y-maze test. Remarkably, CSN resection prevented the development of this phenotype. HFHSu diet or CSN resection did not promote significant alterations in insulin signaling-associated proteins levels. Our findings suggest that CBs modulation might have a role in preventing short-term spatial memory deficits associated with peripheral dysmetabolic states.

Abstract
Oligomerization and aggregation of misfolded forms of α-synuclein are believed to be key molecular mechanisms in Parkinson's disease (PD) and other synucleinopathies, so extensive research has attempted to understand these processes. Among diverse post-translational modifications that impact α-synuclein aggregation, glycation may take place at several lysine sites and modify α-synuclein oligomerization, toxicity, and clearance. The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is considered a key regulator of chronic neuroinflammation through microglial activation in response to advanced glycation end products, such as carboxy-ethyl-lysine, or carboxy-methyl-lysine. The presence of RAGE in the midbrain of PD patients has been reported in the last decades and this receptor was proposed to have a role in sustaining PD neuroinflammation. However, different PD animal models demonstrated that RAGE is preferentially expressed in neurons and astrocytes, while recent evidence demonstrated that fibrillar, non-glycated α-synuclein binds to RAGE. Here, we summarize the available data on α-synuclein glycation and RAGE in the context of PD, and discuss about the questions yet to be answered that may increase our understanding of the molecular bases of PD and synucleinopathies.

Abstract
Insulin resistance is common in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, kidney diseases, and polycystic ovary syndrome. Impairment in insulin signaling pathways, such as the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway, would lead to insulin resistance. It might induce the synthesis and deposition of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), reactive oxygen species, and reactive nitrogen species, resulting in stress, protein misfolding, protein accumulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, reticulum function, and metabolic syndrome dysregulation, inflammation, and apoptosis. It plays a huge role in various neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and Amyloid lateral sclerosis. In this review, we intend to focus on the possible effect of insulin resistance in the progression of neurodegeneration via the impaired P13K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway, AGEs, and receptors for AGEs.

Abstract
Dietary restriction (DR) is defined as a moderate reduction in food intake while avoiding malnutrition. The beneficial effects of DR are being increasingly acknowledged in aging and in a series of age-related neurodegenerative disorders, for example, Parkinson's disease (PD). To date, the pathogenesis of PD remains elusive and there is no cure for it in spite of intensive research over decades. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on the efficacy of DR on PD, focusing on the underlying mechanisms involving general metabolism, neuroendocrinolgy, neuroinflammation, gut microbiome, and so on. We anticipate that this review will provide future perspectives for PD prevention and treatment.

Abstract
There is a growing interest in the role the immune system and inflammatory response play on the pathophysiology of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Epidemiological evidence lends support for the hypothesis that PD is an immune-mediated condition. An association between inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn’s and Ulcerative colitis, and the risk of PD has been described and replicated in several population-based cohorts. Other autoimmune conditions, such as Sjogren syndrome, ankylosing spondylitis, and rheumatoid arthritis also seem to be associated with an increased risk of PD. Immunosuppressant medications seem to be associated with a decreased risk of PD. Finally, variants in genes involved in immune system regulation are also shared between PD and autoimmune conditions. In this review, we will provide an overview of epidemiological evidence from population-based cohort studies, meta-analyses, and genome-wide association studies that analyze the association between the immune system and PD, discuss current gaps in the literature and future research directions in this field.

Abstract
Lately, studies have shown that patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) report a strong craving for sweets and consume significantly more fast-acting carbohydrates than healthy controls. Consuming food with a high-sugar content is assumed to lead to an increase in insulin concentration, which could positively influence dopamine concentration in the brain and unconsciously be used by patients as kind of “self-medication” to compensate for a lack of dopamine in PD. On the other hand, high-sugar intake could also lead to insulin resistance and diabetes, which is discussed as a causative factor for progressive neurodegeneration in PD. In this critical appraisal, we discuss the role of sugar intake and insulin on dopamine metabolism in patients with PD and how this could influence the potential neurodegeneration mediated by insulin resistance.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
As evidence continues to accumulate regarding the multi-organ dysfunction associated with Parkinson’s disease (PD), it is still unclear as to whether PD increases the risk of hematological pathology. In this study, the authors investigate the association between PD and hematological pathology risk factors.
Methods
This retrospective cohort analysis was conducted using 8 years of the National Readmission Database. All individuals diagnosed with PD were queried at the time of primary admission. Readmissions, complications, and risk factors were analyzed at 30-, 90-, 180-, and 300-day intervals. Statistical analysis included multivariate Gaussian-fitted modeling using age, sex, comorbidities, and discharge weights as covariates. Coefficients of model variables were exponentiated and interpreted as odds ratios.
Results
The database query yielded 1,765,800 PD patients (mean age: 76.3 ± 10.4; 44.1% female). Rates of percutaneous blood transfusion in readmitted patients at 30, 90, 180, and 300 days were found to be 8.7%, 8.6%, 8.3%, and 8.3% respectively. Those with anti-parkinsonism medication side effects at the primary admission had increased rates of gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage (OR: 1.02; 95%CI: 1.01–1.03, p < 0.0001) and blood transfusion (OR: 1.06; 95%CI: 1.05–1.08, p < 0.0001) at all timepoints after readmission. PD patients who experienced GI hemorrhage of any etiology, including as a side effect of anti-parkinsonism medication, were found to have significantly higher rates of blood transfusion at all timepoints (OR: 1.14; 95%CI: 1.13–1.16, p < 0.0001).
Conclusions
Blood transfusions were found to be significantly associated with anti-parkinsonism drug side effects and GI hemorrhage of any etiology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parkinson's disease (PD) in elderly patients is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease. The pathogenesis of PD is associated with dopaminergic neuron degeneration of the substantia nigra in the basal ganglia, causing classic motor symptoms. Oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuroinflammation have been identified as possible pathways in laboratory investigations. Nutrition, a potentially versatile factor from all environmental factors affecting PD, has received intense research scrutiny. METHODS A systematic search was conducted in the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and WEB OF SCIENCE databases from 2000 until the present. Only randomized clinical trials (RCTs), observational case-control studies, and follow-up studies were included. RESULTS We retrieved fifty-two studies that met the inclusion criteria. Most selected studies investigated the effects of malnutrition and the Mediterranean diet (MeDiet) on PD incidence and progression. Other investigations contributed evidence on the critical role of microbiota, vitamins, polyphenols, dairy products, coffee, and alcohol intake. CONCLUSIONS There are still many concerns regarding the association between PD and nutrition, possibly due to underlying genetic and environmental factors. However, there is a body of evidence revealing that correcting malnutrition, gut microbiota, and following the MeDiet reduced the onset of PD and reduced clinical progression. Other factors, such as polyphenols, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and coffee intake, can have a potential protective effect. Conversely, milk and its accessory products can increase PD risk. Nutritional intervention is essential for neurologists to improve clinical outcomes and reduce the disease progression of PD.

Glycation modulates glutamatergic signaling and exacerbates Parkinson's disease-like phenotypes. NPJ Parkinsons Dis 2022; 8:51.

Abstract
Alpha-synuclein (aSyn) is a central player in the pathogenesis of synucleinopathies due to its accumulation in typical protein aggregates in the brain. However, it is still unclear how it contributes to neurodegeneration. Type-2 diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD). Interestingly, a common molecular alteration among these disorders is the age-associated increase in protein glycation. We hypothesized that glycation-induced neuronal dysfunction is a contributing factor in synucleinopathies. Here, we dissected the impact of methylglyoxal (MGO, a glycating agent) in mice overexpressing aSyn in the brain. We found that MGO-glycation potentiates motor, cognitive, olfactory, and colonic dysfunction in aSyn transgenic (Thy1-aSyn) mice that received a single dose of MGO via intracerebroventricular injection. aSyn accumulates in the midbrain, striatum, and prefrontal cortex, and protein glycation is increased in the cerebellum and midbrain. SWATH mass spectrometry analysis, used to quantify changes in the brain proteome, revealed that MGO mainly increase glutamatergic-associated proteins in the midbrain (NMDA, AMPA, glutaminase, VGLUT and EAAT1), but not in the prefrontal cortex, where it mainly affects the electron transport chain. The glycated proteins in the midbrain of MGO-injected Thy1-aSyn mice strongly correlate with PD and dopaminergic pathways. Overall, we demonstrated that MGO-induced glycation accelerates PD-like sensorimotor and cognitive alterations and suggest that the increase of glutamatergic signaling may underly these events. Our study sheds new light into the enhanced vulnerability of the midbrain in PD-related synaptic dysfunction and suggests that glycation suppressors and anti-glutamatergic drugs may hold promise as disease-modifying therapies for synucleinopathies.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence suggests the existence of a strong link between metabolic syndrome and neurodegeneration. Indeed, epidemiologic studies have described solid associations between metabolic syndrome and neurodegeneration, whereas animal models contributed for the clarification of the mechanistic underlying the complex relationships between these conditions, having the development of an insulin resistance state a pivotal role in this relationship. Herein, we review in a concise manner the association between metabolic syndrome and neurodegeneration. We start by providing concepts regarding the role of insulin and insulin signaling pathways as well as the pathophysiological mechanisms that are in the genesis of metabolic diseases. Then, we focus on the role of insulin in the brain, with special attention to its function in the regulation of brain glucose metabolism, feeding, and cognition. Moreover, we extensively report on the association between neurodegeneration and metabolic diseases, with a particular emphasis on the evidence observed in animal models of dysmetabolism induced by hypercaloric diets. We also debate on strategies to prevent and/or delay neurodegeneration through the normalization of whole-body glucose homeostasis, particularly via the modulation of the carotid bodies, organs known to be key in connecting the periphery with the brain.

Abstract
The relationship between diabetes mellitus and Parkinson's disease has been described in several epidemiological studies over the 1960s to date. Molecular studies have shown the possible functional link between insulin and dopamine, as there is strong evidence demonstrating the action of dopamine in pancreatic islets, as well as the insulin effects on feeding and cognition through central nervous system mechanism, largely independent of glucose utilization. Therapies used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus appear to be promising candidates for symptomatic and/or disease-modifying action in neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson's disease, while an old dopamine agonist, bromocriptine, has been repositioned for the type 2 diabetes mellitus treatment. This review will aim at reappraising the different studies that have highlighted the dangerous liaisons between diabetes mellitus and Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parkinson's disease (PD) is a synucleinopathy, which presents dysautonomia, as its common non-motor symptom. Some research suggests the existing interplay between the autonomic nervous system dysfunction and glucose metabolism dysregulation in PD. OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of metabolic disorders with particular emphasis on glucose metabolism in patients with PD and atypical parkinsonism (AP). PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective study was performed by analyzing 461 clinical data of consecutive patients diagnosed with PD, multiple system atrophy (MSA) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) hospitalized from 2019 to 2021 in the authors' institution. The study group included 350 patients (303 PD, 14 MSA, 33 PSP), aged 65.8 ± 9.7 years (42% were female). Laboratory results (fasting glycemia, lipid parameters, TSH, homocysteine and vitamin D3 levels) were collected. The patient's clinical condition was assessed in III part of Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS p. III), Hoehn-Yahr scale, Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). RESULTS Impaired fasting glycemia (IGF) was more prevalent in PD than in the PSP (43.43% vs 18.18%; p = 0.043). Similarly, PD presented a higher level of fasting glycemia (102.4 ± 16.7 mg/dl vs 92.2 ± 16.1mg/dl; p = 0.042). According to lipid parameters, patients with PD showed lower LDL cholesterol (92.3 ± 44.3mg/dl vs 119 ± 61.0mg/dl; p = 0.016) and lower BMI compared to patients with PSP (26.1 ± 4.0kg/m2 vs 29.3 ± 4.4 kg/m2; p = 0.024), but there were no statistically significant differences in triglycerides (TG) and HDL cholesterol levels. Males with PD presented greater frequency of IFG (35.05% vs 50.6%; p = 0.042), higher fasting glycemia (99.1 ± 14.3mg/dl vs 103.7 ± 14.7mg/dl; p = 0.006), lower total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and BMI compared to women with PD. CONCLUSION Our investigation supports an association between synucleinopathies and glucose metabolism dysregulation.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease affecting more than 1% of the population over 65 years old. The etiology of the disease is unknown and there are only symptomatic managements available with no known disease-modifying treatment. Aging, genes, and environmental factors contribute to PD development and key players involved in the pathophysiology of the disease include oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, autophagic-lysosomal imbalance, and neuroinflammation. Recent epidemiology studies have shown that type-2 diabetes (T2DM) not only increased the risk for PD, but also is associated with PD clinical severity. A higher rate of insulin resistance has been reported in PD patients and is suggested to be a pathologic driver in this disease. Oral diabetic drugs including sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors have been shown to provide neuroprotective effects in both PD patients and experimental models; additionally, antidiabetic drugs have been demonstrated to lower incidence rates of PD in DM patients. Among these, the most recently developed drugs, SGLT2 inhibitors may provide neuroprotective effects through improving mitochondrial function and antioxidative effects. In this article, we will discuss the involvement of mitochondrial-related oxidative stress in the development of PD and potential benefits provided by antidiabetic agents especially focusing on sglt2 inhibitors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To study the diabetes-Parkinson's disease (PD) linkage. METHODS The investigators recorded the rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder screening questionnaire (RBDSQ) score for 60 diabetic patients: 30 patients were treated with metformin-inclusive sulfonylurea and 30 patients were treated with sulphonylurea(s) monotherapy and matched with 30 controls. We evaluated blood glucose kinetics during a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test for (22) nondiabetic parkinsonian patients and (10) controls. The motor complications scores were recorded for all parkinsonian patients using the relevant parts of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) part IV. RESULTS Diabetics recorded higher scores of RBDSQ than controls (p < 0.001), with no differences related to antidiabetic therapy. In nondiabetic PD patients, after oral glucose, blood glucose was significantly higher at T1 (p < 0.001) than controls. Moreover, the total area under the time curve for blood glucose levels was significantly higher in PD compared to controls (281.22 ± 52.25 vs. 245.65 ± 48.63 mg.hr./dL; p=0.013). Higher blood glucose levels were associated with motor abnormalities. Diabetic PD patients recorded higher scores of UPDRS (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Diabetes mellitus and Parkinson's disease are linked, which raises concerns about either of them, probably increasing the risk of the other. This trial is registered with NCT03685357.

Abstract
Background and Objective: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder characterized by an accumulation of Lewy bodies and degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. The treatment options currently available are only partly effective and fail to restore the lost dopaminergic neurons or slow the progression. β2-adrenoceptors (β2AR) are widely expressed in various human tissues and organs, regulate many important metabolic functions, and are targeted for treatment of various diseases. Studies have reported a link between chronic use of the β2AR antagonist propranolol and an increased risk of PD, and chronic use of β2AR agonists has been associated with a decreased risk of PD. We conducted a meta-analysis on the association between both β2AR agonist level and β2AR antagonist level and the risk of PD. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive electronic search was conducted on the databases of PubMed, ScienceDirect, ProQuest, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalKey from the start of each database until 30 June 2021. The objective was to identify prospective cohort and case–control studies that have reported on the association between β-adrenoceptor agonist level, antagonist level, and PD risk. Results: A meta-analysis of the data extracted from eight studies revealed that β2AR agonist use was associated with reduced PD risk (RR = 0.859, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.741–0.995. p = 0.043). Compared with the control group, β2AR antagonist use was associated with an increased risk of PD (RR = 1.490, 95% CI, 1.195 to 1.857. p < 0.005). Propranolol, a type of β2AR antagonist, was related to an increased risk of PD (RR = 2.820, 95% CI, 2.618 to 3.036. p < 0.005). Conclusions: In this meta-analysis, β2AR agonists were associated with a decreased risk of PD, and β2AR antagonists were related with an increased risk of PD. However, further studies with larger sample sizes and an evaluation of the long-term effects of varying dosages of medications are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A link between diabetes mellitus (DM) and Parkinson's disease (PD) have been proposed but evidence are sparse and inconsistent. OBJECTIVE Perform a systematic review of all evidence that link DM and PD characterising the prevalence of DM in PD patients, the risk of developing PD in DM patients and the influence of DM on PD severity and progression. METHODS MEDLINE, Scopus, and Cochrane Library from inception to June 30, 2021 were searched. Studies reporting prevalence, incidence, severity and disease progression of DM and PD were included. Prevalence of DM in PD and incidence of PD in DM patients, and characteristics of PD. RESULTS A total of 21 studies (n = 11,396) included data on DM prevalence in PD patients, 12 studies (n = 17,797,221) included data on incidence of PD in DM patients, and 10 studies (n = 2,482) included data on DM impact on PD severity and disease progression. The prevalence of DM in PD patients was 10.02 %, (95%C.I. 7.88 -12.16), DM patients showed a higher risk of developing PD (OR: 1.34 95%CI 1.26-1.43 p < 0.0001) compared to non-DM, and PD patients with DM showed a greater severity of motor symptoms, with higher Hoehn and Yahr stage (SMD: 0.36 95%CI 0.12-0.60; p < 0.001) and higher UPDRS (SMD 0.60 95%CI 0.28-0.92; p < 0.001) compared with PD patients without DM. CONCLUSION Although the prevalence of DM in PD patients is similar to the general population, patients with DM have a higher risk of developing PD, and the presence of DM is associated with greater PD severity and faster progression, which suggests that DM may be a facilitating factor of neurodegeneration.

Zhang Y, Zhou L, Lian H, Zhang Y, Tong S, Wang Z. Dopamine receptor 2 downregulation and brain-derived neurotrophic factor upregulation in the paraventricular nucleus are correlated with brown adipose tissue thermogenesis in rats with bilateral substantia nigra lesions. J Chem Neuroanat 2021; 117:102016. [PMID: 34454019 DOI: 10.1016/j.jchemneu.2021.102016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2021] [Revised: 08/23/2021] [Accepted: 08/23/2021] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
The thermogenesis resulting from brown adipose tissue (BAT)-induced energy consumption is an important method of energy regulation. It has been reported that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)-positive neurons in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) can regulate adaptive thermogenesis in interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT), but the upstream regulatory mechanism is still unclear. Our previous studies have found that a large number of dopamine (DA) receptors (DRs) are expressed on BDNF-positive neurons in the PVN and that the substantia nigra (SN) can directly project to the PVN (forming the SN-PVN pathway). Therefore, we speculate that DA in the SN can regulate the expression of BDNF via DRs and then affect IBAT thermogenesis. In this study, bilateral SN lesions were induced in rats with 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), and the altered expression of DRs and BDNF in the PVN and the metabolic changes in IBAT were studied via double immunofluorescence and western blotting. The results showed that BDNF-positive neurons in the PVN expressed DR 1 (D1) and DR 2 (D2) and were surrounded by a large number of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-positive nerve fibers. Compared with the control group, the 6-OHDA group exhibited significantly fewer TH-positive neurons and significantly lower TH expression in the SN, but body weight, IBAT weight and food consumption did not differ between the groups. In the PVN, BDNF expression was upregulated in the 6-OHDA group, while D2 and TH expression was downregulated. In IBAT, the expression of uncoupling protein-1 (UCP-1), phosphorylated hormone-sensitive lipase (p-HSL), TH and β3-adrenergic receptor (β3-AR) was increased, while the expression of fatty acid synthase (FAS) was decreased. The IBAT cell diameter was also decreased in the 6-OHDA group. The results suggest that the SN-PVN pathway may be an upstream neural pathway that can affect BDNF expression in the PVN and that DRs may mediate its regulatory effects. This study expands our understanding of the relationship between DA and obesity.

Abstract
Insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) function goes far beyond its known proteolytic role as a regulator of insulin levels. IDE has a wide substrate promiscuity, degrading several proteins such as amyloid-β peptide, glucagon, islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) and insulin-like growth factors, that have diverse physiological and pathophysiological functions. Importantly, IDE plays other non-proteolytical functions such as a chaperone/dead-end chaperone, an E1-ubiquitin activating enzyme, and a proteasome modulator. It also responds as a heat shock protein, regulating cellular proteostasis. Notably, amyloidogenic proteins such as IAPP, amyloid-β and α-synuclein have been reported as substrates for IDE chaperone activity. This is of utmost importance as failure of IDE may result in increased protein aggregation, a key hallmark in the pathogenesis of beta cells in type 2 diabetes mellitus and of neurons in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. In this review, we focus on the biochemical and biophysical properties of IDE and the regulation of its physiological functions. We further raise the hypothesis that IDE plays a central role in the pathological context of dysmetabolic and neurodegenerative diseases and discuss its potential as a therapeutic target.

Liu W, Tang J. Association between diabetes mellitus and risk of Parkinson's disease: A prisma-compliant meta-analysis. Brain Behav 2021; 11:e02082. [PMID: 34291588 PMCID: PMC8413776 DOI: 10.1002/brb3.2082] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2020] [Revised: 12/21/2020] [Accepted: 01/31/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies showed inconsistent results regarding associations between diabetes mellitus (DM) and risk of Parkinson's disease (PD). The study aimed to make a meta-analysis to clarify whether DM is a risk factor for PD. METHODS We searched for articles regarding the effect of DM on risk of PD and published before July 2020 with search terms as follows: ("diabetes mellitus" OR "diabetes") AND ("Parkinson's disease" OR "PD") in the following databases: PubMed, Web of Science, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Google Scholar. We used STATA 12.0 software to compute multivariate odds ratio (OR) or relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) regarding the association between DM and risk of PD. RESULTS The present study finally included 7 case-control studies (including 26,654 PD patients) and 9 cohort studies (including 3,819,006 DM patients) exploring the association between DM and risk of PD. The meta-analysis indicated that DM was related to elevated risk of PD (OR/RR = 1.15, 95% CI 1.03-1.28, I2 = 92.4%, p < .001). Subgroup study showed that DM was associated with higher risk of PD in cohort studies (RR = 1.29, 95% CI 1.15-1.45, I2 = 93.9%, p < .001), whereas no significant association was indicated between DM and risk of PD in case-control studies (OR = 0.74, 95% CI 0.51-1.09, I2 = 82.3%, p < .001). Sensitivity analysis showed no changes in the direction of effect when any one study was excluded from all meta-analyses. In addition, Begg's test, Egger's test, and funnel plot showed no significant risks of publication bias. CONCLUSION In conclusion, we have tried to determine whether prior onset of DM may contribute to the risk of developing PD. More and more large-scale prospective studies should be conducted to evaluate the relationship between DM and PD.

Abstract
Purpose Observational studies have examined the association between antipsychotics and ischemic heart disease (IHD) in general populations, but results did not take into account other comorbid diseases, such as Parkinson's disease (PD). This study investigates the one-year risk of IHD, all cardiovascular events, and all-cause mortality among newly diagnosed PD patients who used antipsychotics compared to non-users. Materials and Methods This study included individuals aged 40 years or older with a first definitive PD diagnosis Read Code in the Secure Anonymised Information Linkage (SAIL) databank who had been initiated on any PD medication between 2000 and 2016. Antipsychotic users were matched 1:1 with non-users by a propensity score model to control the confounding effects of patients' demographics, social deprivation status, comorbidities, and medication history. Cox regression was performed to calculate the hazard ratios (HR) and 95% CIs for the association between antipsychotics and study outcomes. Results A total of 1837 participants were included in the analysis. Users of first-generation antipsychotics (FGA) were significantly more likely to develop IHD compared to non-users, with an HR of 2.60 (95% CI 1.103-6.167). Among the FGAs, haloperidol had the highest likelihood of IHD developing, with an HR of 3.01 (95% CI 1.038-8.729). Any use of antipsychotics, regardless of whether they were FGA or second-generation antipsychotics (SGA), was linked to all-cause mortality, with an HR of 4.201 (95% CI 3.272-5.394). When subdividing antipsychotics into FGAs and SGAs, mortality was more likely in FGA users, with an HR of 7.557 (95% CI 5.633-10.139). Mortality also occurred in SGA users, but with a lower HR of 3.278 (95% CI 2.509-4.282). Conclusion FGAs were associated with an increased risk of IHD and all-cause mortality in newly diagnosed PD patients with psychosis. This finding emphasizes the need to use antipsychotics with caution in PD patients with psychosis.

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects 1% of the population over the age of 60. Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder that affects approximately 25% of adults over the age of 60. Recent studies showed that DM increases the risk of developing PD. The link between DM and PD has been discussed in the literature in relation to different mechanisms including mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and protein aggregation. In this paper, we review the common microRNA (miRNA) biomarkers of both diseases. miRNAs play an important role in cell differentiation, development, the regulation of the cell cycle, and apoptosis. They are also involved in the pathology of many diseases. miRNAs can mediate the insulin pathway and glucose absorption. miRNAs can also regulate PD-related genes. Therefore, exploring the common miRNA biomarkers of both PD and DM can shed a light on how these two diseases are correlated, and targeting miRNAs is a potential therapeutic opportunity for both diseases.

Abstract
Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) are prevalent diseases that affect an aging population. Previous systematic reviews and meta-analyses have explored the relationship between diabetes and the risk of PD, but the results have been conflicting. Objective: The objective was to investigate T2DM as a determinant of PD through a meta-analysis of observational and genetic summary data. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies was undertaken by searching 6 databases. We selected the highest-quality studies investigating the association of T2DM with PD risk and progression. We then used Mendelian randomization (MR) to investigate the causal effects of genetic liability toward T2DM on PD risk and progression, using summary data derived from genome-wide association studies. Results: In the observational part of the study, pooled effect estimates showed that T2DM was associated with an increased risk of PD (odds ratio [OR] 1.21, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.07–1.36), and there was some evidence that T2DM was associated with faster progression of motor symptoms (standardized mean difference [SMD] 0.55, 95% CI 0.39–0.72) and cognitive decline (SMD −0.92, 95% CI −1.50 to −0.34). Using MR, we found supportive evidence for a causal effect of diabetes on PD risk (inverse-variance weighted method [IVW] OR 1.08, 95% CI 1.02–1.14; P = 0.010) and some evidence of an effect on motor progression (IVW OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.01–1.20; P = 0.032) but not on cognitive progression. Conclusions: Using meta-analyses of traditional observational studies and genetic data, we observed convincing evidence for an effect of T2DM on PD risk and new evidence to support a role in PD progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The interplay between glycemic control and Parkinson's disease (PD) has long been recognized but not fully understood. OBJECTIVES To investigate the association of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels with motor and cognitive symptom progression in a prospective PD cohort. METHODS Of 244 PD patients, 17 had low HbA1c (≤30 mmol/mol), 184 were euglycemic (HbA1c 31-41 mmol/mol), 18 had high HbA1c (HbA1 ≥42 mmol/mol), and 25 had diabetes mellitus (DM). Survival analysis was applied on time until Hoehn and Yahr stage ≥3 (motor outcome) and until mild cognitive impairment. RESULTS Low HbA1c (HR 2.7; 95% CI 1.3-6; P = 0.01) as well as high HbA1c (HR 3.6; 95% CI 1.5-8.9; P = 0.005) but not DM were independent predictors of unfavorable motor outcome. CONCLUSIONS Both high and low HbA1c levels may be associated with motor symptom progression in PD; however, further studies are needed to confirm these findings and increase understanding regarding causality. © 2021 The Authors.

Abstract
The global burden of chronic disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD) has rapidly increased over recent decades. Despite an increasing understanding of PD pathophysiology, there are no effective therapies capable of stopping or slowing the progression of this neurological condition. It has been suggested that type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) may be a risk factor for PD and comorbid T2DM may worsen PD symptoms, as well as accelerate neurodegeneration. In fact, the similar pathological mechanisms shared by PD and T2DM have inspired several studies on the therapeutic potential of T2DM drugs against PD, among which glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists are promising candidates. Here, we highlight the mechanisms linking T2DM and PD, as well as the links between insulin resistance (IR) and PD patients' risk of developing cognitive deficits. We also briefly review the effects of GLP-1R agonists on PD and discuss how the successful use of these substances in preclinical models of PD has paved the way for PD clinical trials. We further discuss how recent evidence on the beneficial effects of dulaglutide on cognitive function of T2DM patients may have important implications for PD drug repurposing.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study investigated the 1-year risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD), all cardiovascular events, and all-cause mortality among newly diagnosed Parkinson's disease (PD) patients who used antidepressants compared to those who did not. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with PD aged 40 years or older were identified using data from 2000 through 2016 held within the Welsh Secure Anonymized Information Linkage (SAIL) databank. Antidepressant users were propensity-score matched 1:1 with non-users, adjusting for patients' demographics, socioeconomic status, and multiple comorbidities. Cox proportional hazard regression analyses were performed to calculate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association between the antidepressants and the study outcomes. The follow-up period was 1 year after the initial prescription of antidepressants. RESULTS The study group comprised a total of 3364 participants, with numbers split equally between the antidepressant-user and non-user groups, based on the propensity score-matching process. Overall, the propensity score-adjusted model showed that antidepressant usage in PD patients was not significantly associated with the risk of IHD (HR = 1.05; 95% CI 0.63-1.75) or all cardiovascular events (HR = 1.01; 95% CI 0.71-1.45) compared to non-users. The propensity score-adjusted model also showed that the use of any antidepressant, regardless of its category, was not statistically significantly associated with all-cause mortality (HR = 0.81; 95% CI 0.65-1.02). However, this association reached statistical significance in the multivariate adjusted model (HR = 0.67; 95% CI 0.54-0.84). CONCLUSION There was no evidence that antidepressant use was associated with an increased risk of IHD or all cardiovascular events in newly diagnosed PD patients who suffered from depression. Furthermore, antidepressant use might reduce the mortality rate in PD patients during the first year after initiation.

Abstract
Cellular redox dysregulation produced by aldose reductase (AR) in the presence of high blood sugar is a mechanism involved in neurodegeneration commonly observed in diabetes mellitus (DM) and Parkinson's disease (PD); therefore, AR is a key target for treatment of both diseases. The substituted triazinoindole derivatives 2-(3-thioxo-2H-[1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]indol-5(3H)-yl) acetic acid (cemtirestat or CMTI) and 2-(3-oxo-2H-[1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]indol-5(3H)-yl) acetic acid (COTI) are well-known AR inhibitors (ARIs). The neuroprotective properties of CMTI, COTI, the clinically used epalrestat (EPA), and the pyridoindole antioxidants stobadine and SMe1EC2 were all tested in the neurotoxic models produced by hyperglycemic glucotoxicity (HG, 75 mM D-glucose, 72 h), 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), and HG+6-OHDA models in PC12 cells. Cell viability decreased in all toxic models, increased by 1-5 μM EPA, and decreased by COTI at ≥ 2.5 μM. In the HG model alone, where compounds were present in the medium for 24 h after a continuous 24-h exposure to HG, cell viability was improved by 100 nM-5 μM EPA, 1-10 μM ARIs, and the antioxidants studied, but decreased by EPA at ≥ 10 μM. In the 6-OHDA model alone, where cells were treated with compounds for 24 h and further exposed to 100 μM 6-OHDA (8 h), only the antioxidants protected cell viability. In the HG+6-OHDA model, where cells were treated with all compounds (1 nM to 50 μM) for 48 h and exposed to 75 mM glucose for 24 h followed by incubation with 6-OHDA for 8 h, cell viability was protected by 100 nM-10 μM ARIs and 100-500 nM EPA, but not by antioxidants. All ARIs inhibited the HG+6-OHDA-induced increase in iNOS, IL-1β, TNF-α, 3-NT, and total oxidant status at 1-50 μM, while increased SOD, CAT, GPx, and total antioxidant status at 1-10 μM. EPA and CMTI also reduced the HG+6-OHDA-induced increase in the cellular levels of nuclear factor kB (NF-KB). The neuroprotective potential of the novel ARIs and the pyridoindole antioxidants studied constitutes a promising tool for the development of therapeutic strategies against DM-induced and PD-related neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Lately, focus on the relation between Parkinson's disease (PD) and Diabetes has risen greatly, as neuroprotective properties have been attributed to insulin use. Several studies have assessed the effect of glitazones, an insulin-sensitizing agent, in diabetic population on PD future risk. However, reports on the effect of their use have been heterogeneous. We aimed to synthesize the available scientific evidence which assesses the effect of glitazone use in type 2 diabetes patients on PD incidence. A systematic review was performed on multiple electronic databases. Considered for inclusion were studies that assessed the incidence of PD in type 2 diabetes glitazone users. Two reviewers worked independently and in duplicate to assess all studies, extract information and assess the methodological quality in each included study. Four high quality retrospective cohorts fulfilled inclusion criteria. Comparison groups varied across studies. In each study, incidence of PD was lower in glitazone-exposed patients compared to their respective comparison group. Pooled analysis showed lesser risk of PD in ever versus never glitazone users (RR 0.75 [95% C.I. 0.67-0.85; p < .0001; I2 = 0]). Our pooled analysis showed lesser risk of PD in glitazone versus non glitazone users, however, we advise to take results with caution since results are non-adjusted to possible confounding variables, furthermore, different glitazone-exposure time, follow up and comparison groups are aspects that also need to be pointed out. More clinical research focused on glitazone use and its relation with PD is needed, as this could result in new potential treatment modalities.
