Parkinson’s Disease: Can Targeting Inflammation Be an Effective Neuroprotective Strategy?

TL;DR: Data from human PD studies indicating that brain inflammation is an early event in PD is discussed and the role of T-lymphocytes and peripheral inflammation for neurodegeneration is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gut microbiome-mediated regulation of neuroinflammation.

TL;DR: The intestinal microbiome influences neuroinflammatory disease in animal models, and recent studies have identified multiple pathways of communication between the gut and brain this article , and the potential impacts of the gut microbiome-brain axis on neuroinflammation represent exciting frontiers for further investigation.

Cyclooxygenase 2 is upregulated in the gastrointestinal tract in Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: To determine if COX-2 is also upregulated in the gastrointestinal tract in Parkinson’s disease, two gastrointestinal biopsies were taken and RT-PCR and Western Blot analyses were performed as previously described.

Parkinson's Disease and the Gut: Symptoms, Nutrition, and Microbiota.

TL;DR: Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease worldwide, characterized by symptoms of bradykinesia, rigidity, postural instability, and tremor as mentioned in this paper.

Analysis of relative gene expression data using real-time quantitative pcr and the 2(-delta delta c(t)) method

TL;DR: The 2-Delta Delta C(T) method as mentioned in this paper was proposed to analyze the relative changes in gene expression from real-time quantitative PCR experiments, and it has been shown to be useful in the analysis of realtime, quantitative PCR data.

Accuracy of clinical diagnosis of idiopathic Parkinson's disease: a clinico-pathological study of 100 cases.

TL;DR: The pathological findings in 100 patients diagnosed prospectively by a group of consultant neurologists as having idiopathic Parkinson's disease are reported, and these observations call into question current concepts of Parkinson's Disease as a single distinct morbid entity.

Staging of brain pathology related to sporadic Parkinson’s disease

TL;DR: This study traces the course of the pathology in incidental and symptomatic Parkinson cases proposing a staging procedure based upon the readily recognizable topographical extent of the lesions.

Reactive microglia are positive for HLA‐DR in the substantia nigra of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease brains

TL;DR: The detected large numbers of HLA-DR-positive reactive microglia (macrophages) in the substantia nigra of all cases studied with Parkinson's disease and parkinsonism and suggest a frequent coexistence of DAT- and Parkinson-type pathology in elderly patients.
