Moreover, pwPD showed an increased activity of brain cognitive areas such as superior temporal gyrus, posterior cingulum, and cerebellum crus I.

Studies in mice show diverse susceptibility of subpopulations of nigral dopaminergic neurons to various toxic agents. In the primate midbrain, the molecular phenotypes of dopaminergic neurons and their differential vulnerability are poorly characterized. We performed a detailed histological study to determine the anatomical distribution of different molecular phenotypes within identified midbrain neurons and their selective vulnerability in control and MPTP-treated monkeys. In the ventral tier of the SNc (<i>nigrosome</i>), neurons rich in Aldh1a1 and Girk2 are intermingled, whereas calbindin is the marker that best identifies the most resilient neurons located in the dorsal tier and ventral tegmental area, recapitulating the well-defined dorsoventral axis of susceptibility to degeneration of dopaminergic neurons. In particular, a loss of Aldh1a1+ neurons in the ventral SNc was observed in parallel to the progressive development of parkinsonism. Aldh1a1+ neurons were the main population of vulnerable dopaminergic nigrostriatal-projecting neurons, while Aldh1a1- neurons giving rise to nigropallidal projections remained relatively preserved. Moreover, bundles of entwined Aldh1a1+ dendrites with long trajectories extending towards the <i>substantia nigra pars reticulata</i> emerged from clusters of Aldh1a1+ neurons and colocalized with dense cannabinoid receptor 1 afferent fibers likely representing part of the striatonigral projection that is affected in human disorders, including Parkinson´s disease.

The objective of this study was to examine causal associations between sarcopenia-related traits and the risk or progression of PD using a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach. Two-sample bidirectional MR analyses were conducted to evaluate causal relationships. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics for sarcopenia-related traits, including right handgrip strength (<i>n</i> = 461,089), left handgrip strength (<i>n</i> = 461,026), and appendicular lean mass (<i>n</i> = 450,243), were retrieved from the IEU OpenGWAS database. GWAS data for the risk of PD were derived from the FinnGen database (4235 cases; 373,042 controls). Summary-level data for progression of PD, including progression to Hoehn and Yahr stage 3, progression to dementia, and development of levodopa-induced dyskinesia, were obtained from a recent GWAS publication on progression of PD in 4093 patients from 12 longitudinal cohorts. Significant causal associations identified in MR analysis were verified through a polygenic score (PGS)-based approach and pathway enrichment analysis using genotype data from the Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative. MR results supported a significant causal influence of right handgrip strength (odds ratio [OR] = 0.152, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.055–0.423, adjusted <i>P</i> = 0.0036) and appendicular lean mass (OR = 0.597, 95% CI = 0.440–0.810, adjusted <i>P</i> = 0.0111) on development of levodopa-induced dyskinesia. In Cox proportional hazard analysis, higher PGSs for right handgrip strength (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.225, 95% CI = 0.095–0.530, adjusted <i>P</i> = 0.0019) and left handgrip strength (HR = 0.303, 95% CI = 0.121–0.59, adjusted <i>P</i> = 0.0323) were significantly associated with a lower risk of developing levodopa-induced dyskinesia, after adjusting for covariates. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed that genome-wide significant single-nucleotide polymorphisms for right handgrip strength were substantially enriched in biological pathways involved in the control of synaptic plasticity. This study provides genetic evidence of the protective role of handgrip strength or appendicular lean mass on the development of levodopa-induced dyskinesia in PD.

Oral CO administration activated signaling cascades mediated by heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), which have been implicated in limiting oxidative stress, and in promoting αSyn degradation, thereby conferring neuroprotection. Consistent with the neuroprotective effect of smoking, HO-1 levels in cerebrospinal fluid were higher in human smokers compared to nonsmokers. Moreover, in PD brain samples, HO-1 levels were higher in neurons without αSyn pathology. Thus, CO in rodent PD models reduces pathology and increases oxidative stress responses, phenocopying possible protective effects of smoking evident in PD patients.
