Abstract
Parkinson's disease is a chronic degenerative disorder characterized by the death of dopaminergic neurons, associated with persistent inflammation in the central nervous system. Immunoregulatory cells are known to play a critical role in controlling inflammation and providing neuroprotection. While dopamine agonists, such as pramipexole and rotigotine, have proven effects on immune cells, their activity on other types of immunoregulatory cells remains unclear. This study aims to elucidate the genetic changes induced by these dopaminergic agonists in immunoregulatory cells (Tregs, CD8regs, Bregs, and the monocyte subpopulations CM, IM, and nCM) and their potential impact on regulation and neuroprotection. All immunoregulatory cell populations studied showed distinct transcriptional profiles regardless of the agonist used for stimulation. Monocytes showed more terms related to neuroprotection on gene ontology analysis. Our results suggest that different agonists induce distinct patterns of gene expression in immunoregulatory cells, affecting different signaling pathways associated with cellular components, biological processes, and molecular functions, mostly associated with suppressor function and with possible effects on neurons. These findings may help us understand and potentially improve the immune effects of current treatments.
期刊介绍:
Inflammopharmacology is the official publication of the Gastrointestinal Section of the International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology (IUPHAR) and the Hungarian Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology Society (HECPS). Inflammopharmacology publishes papers on all aspects of inflammation and its pharmacological control emphasizing comparisons of (a) different inflammatory states, and (b) the actions, therapeutic efficacy and safety of drugs employed in the treatment of inflammatory conditions. The comparative aspects of the types of inflammatory conditions include gastrointestinal disease (e.g. ulcerative colitis, Crohn''s disease), parasitic diseases, toxicological manifestations of the effects of drugs and environmental agents, arthritic conditions, and inflammatory effects of injury or aging on skeletal muscle. The journal has seven main interest areas:
-Drug-Disease Interactions - Conditional Pharmacology - i.e. where the condition (disease or stress state) influences the therapeutic response and side (adverse) effects from anti-inflammatory drugs. Mechanisms of drug-disease and drug disease interactions and the role of different stress states
-Rheumatology - particular emphasis on methods of measurement of clinical response effects of new agents, adverse effects from anti-rheumatic drugs
-Gastroenterology - with particular emphasis on animal and human models, mechanisms of mucosal inflammation and ulceration and effects of novel and established anti-ulcer, anti-inflammatory agents, or antiparasitic agents
-Neuro-Inflammation and Pain - model systems, pharmacology of new analgesic agents and mechanisms of neuro-inflammation and pain
-Novel drugs, natural products and nutraceuticals - and their effects on inflammatory processes, especially where there are indications of novel modes action compared with conventional drugs e.g. NSAIDs
-Muscle-immune interactions during inflammation [...]
