TLDR
In this article, the abnormal accumulation of α-synuclein (α-syn) in the intestine caused by changes to the gastrointestinal microbiome (GM) caused misfolding and abnormal aggregation of α−syn in the intestines, leading to the formation of eosinophilic Lewis bodies in the cytoplasm and mitochondrial dysfunction in dopaminergic (DA) neurons.Abstract:
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease amongst the middle‑aged and elderly populations. Several studies have confirmed that the microbiota‑gut‑brain axis (MGBA) serves a key role in the pathogenesis of PD. Changes to the gastrointestinal microbiome (GM) cause misfolding and abnormal aggregation of α‑synuclein (α‑syn) in the intestine. Abnormal α‑syn is not eliminated via physiological mechanisms and is transported into the central nervous system (CNS) via the vagus nerve. The abnormal levels of α‑syn aggregate in the substantia nigra pars compacta, not only leading to the formation of eosinophilic Lewis Bodies in the cytoplasm and mitochondrial dysfunction in dopaminergic (DA) neurons, but also leading to the stimulation of an inflammatory response in the microglia. These pathological changes result in an increase in oxidative stress (OS), which triggers nerve cell apoptosis, a characteristic of PD. This increase in OS further oxidizes and intensifies abnormal aggregation of α‑syn, eventually forming a positive feedback loop. The present review discusses the abnormal accumulation of α‑syn in the intestine caused by the GM changes and the increased levels of α‑syn transport to the CNS via the MGBA, resulting in the loss of DA neurons and an increase in the inflammatory response of microglial cells in the brain of patients with PD. In addition, relevant clinical therapeutic strategies for improving the GM and reducing α‑syn accumulation to relieve the symptoms and progression of PD are described.read more

Are We What We Eat? Impact of Diet on the Gut–Brain Axis in Parkinson’s Disease
TL;DR: The hypothesis that Parkinson’s disease could begin in the gut is supported, with a focus on how food-based therapies might then have an influence on PD and could ameliorate non-motor as well as motor symptoms.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors discuss how the microbiota-gut-brain axis and environmental influences interact with the immune system to promote a pro-inflammatory state that is involved in the initiation and progression of misfolded α-synuclein proteins and the beginning of the early non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the epithelial innate immune barrier follows a specific pattern per GI segment and the majority of the expression patterns and the function of TLR4 is encoded in the tissue-resident stem cells and determined primarily during development.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of genetic polymorphisms on pesticides-induced oxidative damage was reviewed and the susceptibility to exposure can be evaluated by studying the most common polymorphisms of genes involved in the metabolism of organophosphorus compounds (cytochrome P450, glutathione transferase, acetyltransferases or paraoxonase 1).

TL;DR: Gastrointestinal symptoms and gut dysbiosis may occur before the onset of motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) and have the potential to develop as early PD biomarkers as mentioned in this paper.
