Abstract
Depression can be a non-motor symptom, a risk factor, and even a co-morbidity of Parkinson's disease (PD). In either case, depression seriously affects the quality of life of PD patients. Unfortunately, at present, a large number of clinical and basic studies focused on the pathophysiological mechanism of PD and the prevention and treatment of motor symptoms. Although there has been increasing attention to PD-related depression, it is difficult to achieve early detection and early intervention, because the clinical guidelines mostly refer to depression developed after or accompanied by motor impairments. Why is there such a dilemma? This is because there has been no suitable preclinical animal model for studying the relationship between depression and PD, and the assessment of depressive behavior in PD preclinical models is as well a very challenging task since it is not free from the confounding from the motor impairment. As a common method to simulate PD symptoms, neurotoxin-induced PD models have been widely used. Studies have found that neurotoxin-induced PD model animals could exhibit depression-like behaviors, which sometimes manifested earlier than motor impairments. Therefore, there have been attempts to establish the PD-related depression model by neurotoxin induction. However, due to a lack of unified protocol, the reported results were diverse. For the purpose of further promoting the improvement and optimization of the animal models and the study of PD-related depression, we reviewed the establishment and evaluation strategies of the current animal models of PD-related depression based on both the existing literature and our own research experience, and discussed the possible mechanism and interventions, in order to provide a reference for future research in this area.

Antidepressant-Like Properties of Intrastriatal Botulinum Neurotoxin-A Injection in a Unilateral 6-OHDA Rat Model of Parkinson's Disease. Toxins (Basel) 2021; 13:toxins13070505. [PMID: 34357977 PMCID: PMC8310221 DOI: 10.3390/toxins13070505] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2021] [Revised: 07/09/2021] [Accepted: 07/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Parkinson’s patients often suffer from depression and anxiety, for which there are no optimal treatments. Hemiparkinsonian (hemi-PD) rats were used to test whether intrastriatal Botulinum neurotoxin-A (BoNT-A) application could also have antidepressant-like properties in addition to the known improvement of motor performance. To quantify depression- and anxiety-like behavior, the forced swim test, tail suspension test, open field test, and elevated plus maze test were applied to hemi-PD rats injected with BoNT-A or vehicle. Furthermore, we correlated the results in the forced swim test, open field test, and elevated plus maze test with the rotational behavior induced by apomorphine and amphetamine. Hemi-PD rats did not show significant anxiety-like behavior as compared with Sham 6-OHDA- + Sham BoNT-A-injected as well as with non-injected rats. However, hemi-PD rats demonstrated increased depression-like behaviors compared with Sham- or non-injected rats; this was seen by increased struggling frequency and increased immobility frequency. Hemi-PD rats intrastriatally injected with BoNT-A exhibited reduced depression-like behavior compared with the respective vehicle-receiving hemi-PD animals. The significant effects of intrastriatally applied BoNT-A seen in the forced swim test are reminiscent of those found after various antidepressant drug therapies. Our data correspond with the efficacy of BoNT-A treatment of glabellar frown lines in treating patients with major depression and suggest that also intrastriatal injected BoNT-A may have some antidepressant-like effect on hemi-PD.

Intranasal HSP70 administration protects against dopaminergic denervation and modulates neuroinflammatory response in the 6-OHDA rat model. Brain Behav Immun Health 2021; 14:100253.

Abstract
HSP70 is one of the main molecular chaperones involved in the cellular stress response. Besides its chaperone action, HSP70 also modulates the immune response. Increased susceptibility to toxic insults in intra- and extracellular environments has been associated with insufficient amounts of inducible HSP70 in adult neurons. On the other hand, exogenous HSP70 administration has demonstrated neuroprotective effects in experimental models of age-related disorders. In this regard, this study investigated the effects of exogenous HSP70 in an animal model of dopaminergic denervation of the nigrostriatal axis. After unilateral intrastriatal injection with 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), the animals received purified recombinant HSP70 through intranasal administration (2 μg/rat/day) for 15 days. Our results indicate a neuroprotective effect of intranasal HSP70 against dopaminergic denervation induced by 6-OHDA. Exogenous HSP70 improved motor impairment and reduced the loss of dopaminergic neurons caused by 6-OHDA. Moreover, HSP70 modulated neuroinflammatory response in the substantia nigra, an important event in Parkinson's disease pathogenesis. Specifically, HSP70 treatment reduced microglial activation and astrogliosis induced by 6-OHDA, as well as IL-1β mRNA expression in this region. Also, recombinant HSP70 increased the protein content of HSP70 in the substantia nigra of rats that received 6-OHDA. These data suggest the neuroprotection of HSP70 against dopaminergic neurons damage after cellular stress. Finally, our results indicate that HSP70 neuroprotective action against 6-OHDA toxicity is related to inflammatory response modulation.

Biomed Eng Online 2020; 19:64. [PMID: 32811522 PMCID: PMC7436981 DOI: 10.1186/s12938-020-00808-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2020] [Accepted: 08/05/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Fear of falling (FoF) is defined as a lasting concern about falling that causes a person to limit or even stop the daily activities that he/she is capable of. Seventy percent of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients report activity limitations due to FoF. Timely identification of FoF is critical to prevent its additional adverse effects on the quality of life. Self-report questionnaires are commonly used to evaluate the FoF, which may be prone to human error. OBJECTIVES In this study, we attempted to identify a new postural stability-indicator to objectively predict the intensity of FoF and its related behavior(s) in PD patients. METHODS Thirty-eight PD patients participated in the study (mean age, 61.2 years), among whom 10 (26.32%) were identified with low FoF and the rest (73.68%) with high FoF, based on Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I). We used a limit of stability task calibrated to each individual and investigated the postural strategies to predict the intensity of FoF. New parameters (FTRis; functional time ratio) were extracted based on the center of pressure presence pattern in different rectangular areas (i = 1, 2, and 3). The task was performed on two heights to investigate FoF-related behavior(s). RESULTS FTR1/2 (the ratio between FTR1 and FTR2) was strongly correlated with the FES-I (r = - 0.63, p < 0.001), Pull test (r = - 0.65, p < 0.001), Timed Up and Go test (r = - 0.57, p < 0.001), and Berg Balance Scale (r = 0.62, p < 0.001). The model of FTR1/2 was identified as a best-fitting model to predicting the intensity of FoF in PD participants (sensitivity = 96.43%, specificity = 80%), using a threshold level of ≤ 2.83. CONCLUSIONS Using the proposed assessment technique, we can accurately predict the intensity of FoF in PD patients. Also, the FTR1/2 index can be potentially considered as a mechanical biomarker to sense the FoF-related postural instability in PD patients.

Abstract
The purpose of this review is to provide psychologists and other health care professional enough knowledge about available cognitive-behavioural interventions for comorbidities in Parkinson's disease that include depression, anxiety, impulsive disorder, pain, and sleep disturbances. This review has clear clinical practical suggestions how to adapt psychological interventions and techniques to the motor and/or cognitive impairments of patients with Parkinson's disease, based on earlier available research results. Every available research that could be found with the help of search engines from Medline, Springer, PsychINFO, and Google Scholar, which used cognitive-behavioural therapy to treat Parkinson's comorbidities, was cited and explained. Cognitive-behavioural interventions and techniques are presented based on available research results for Parkinson's comorbidities. It is recommended to use treatment plans and interventions that are earlier suggested as efficient in patients with Parkinson's disease. Strongest available research based recommendations are available for depression and anxiety. There are only few available research studies that used cognitive and/or behavioural interventions for pain, impulsive disorder, or sleeping disturbances, except insomnia in Parkinson's disease. Cognitive-behavioural therapy is safe to use and should be adapted to the specific needs of patients and with the scientific approved treatment interventions and techniques. Psychologists should be careful on how they adapt their treatment plan for patients.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative movement disorders which is characterised neuropathologically by progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) and the presence of Lewy bodies (made predominately of α-synuclein) in the surviving neurons. Animal models of PD have improved our understanding of the disease and have played a critical role in the development of neuroprotective agents. Neuroinflammation has been strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of PD, and recent studies have used lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a component of gram-negative bacteria and a potent activator of microglia cells, to mimic the inflammatory events in clinical PD. Modulating the inflammatory response could ameliorate PD associated complications and thus, it is essential to understand the extent to which LPS models reflect human PD. This review will outline the routes of administration of LPS such as stereotaxic, systemic and intranasal, their ability to recapitulate neuropathological markers of PD, and mechanisms of LPS induced toxicity. We will also discuss the ability of the models to replicate motor symptoms and non-motor symptoms of PD such as gastrointestinal dysfunction, olfactory dysfunction, anxiety, depression and cognitive dysfunction.

Abstract
Psychological distress is a public health issue as it contributes to the development of human diseases including neuropathologies. Parkinson's disease (PD), a chronic, progressive neurodegenerative disorder, is caused by multiple factors including aging, mitochondrial dysfunction, and/or stressors. In PD, a substantial loss of substantia nigra (SN) neurons leads to rigid tremors, bradykinesia, and chronic fatigue. Several studies have reported that the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is altered in PD patients, leading to an increase level of cortisol which contributes to neurodegeneration and oxidative stress. We hypothesized that chronic psychological distress induces PD-like symptoms and promotes neurodegeneration in wild-type (WT) rats and exacerbates PD pathology in PINK1 knockout (KO) rats, a well-validated animal model of PD. We measured the bioenergetics profile (oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis) in the brain by employing an XF24e Seahorse Extracellular Flux Analyzer in young rats subjected to predator-induced psychological distress. In addition, we analyzed anxiety-like behavior, motor function, expression of antioxidant enzymes, mitochondrial content, and neurotrophic factors brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the brain. Overall, we observed that psychological distress diminished up to 50% of mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) derived from both WT and PINK1-KO rats. Mechanistically, the level of antioxidant proteins, mitochondrial content, and BDNF was significantly altered. Finally, psychological distress robustly induced anxiety and Parkinsonian symptoms in WT rats and accelerated certain symptoms of PD in PINK1-KO rats. For the first time, our collective data suggest that psychological distress can phenocopy several aspects of PD neuropathology, disrupt brain energy production, as well as induce ataxia-like behavior.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurological disease in elderly people, and its morbidity and mortality are increasing with the advent of global ageing. The traditional paradigm of moving from small data to big data in biomedical research is shifting toward big data-based identification of small actionable alterations. To highlight the use of big data for precision PD medicine, we review PD big data and informatics for the translation of basic PD research to clinical applications. We emphasize some key findings in clinically actionable changes, such as susceptibility genetic variations for PD risk population screening, biomarkers for the diagnosis and stratification of PD patients, risk factors for PD, and lifestyles for the prevention of PD. The challenges associated with the collection, storage, and modelling of diverse big data for PD precision medicine and healthcare are also summarized. Future perspectives on systems modelling and intelligent medicine for PD monitoring, diagnosis, treatment, and healthcare are discussed in the end.
