Parkinson’s disease is the
second most prevalent neurological
disease after Alzheimer’s. Primarily, old age males are more
affected than females. The aggregates of oligomeric forms of α-synuclein
cause the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars
compacta. Further, it leads to dopamine shortage in the striatum region.
According to recent preclinical studies, environmental factors like
pesticides, food supplements, pathogens, etc. enter the body through
the mouth or nose and ultimately reach the gut. Further, these factors
get accumulated in enteric nervous system which leads to misfolding
of α-synuclein gene, and aggregation of this gene results in
Lewy pathology in the gut and reaches to the brain through the vagus
nerve. This evidence showed a strong bidirectional connection between
the gut and the brain, which leads to gastrointestinal problems in
Parkinson patients. Moreover, several studies reveal that patients
with Parkinson experience more gastrointestinal issues in the early
stages of the disease, such as constipation, increased motility, gut
inflammation, etc. This review article focuses on the transmission
of α-synuclein and the mechanisms involved in the link between
the gut and the brain in Parkinson’s disease. Also, this review
explores the various pathways involved in Parkinson and current therapeutic
approaches for the improvement of Parkinson’s disease.

“…Therapeutically, attempts to reduce systemic inflammation have been made by treating PD mice with analogues of the anti-inflammatory molecules cholecystokinin and glucagon-like peptide1. Results are promising, since reductions in tight junction leakage, colonic inflammation, gut α-synuclein aggregates and dopaminergic neural loss have been observed [ 151 ].…”
Section: Parkinson’s Disease and Gut Microbiota: Links And Mechanismsmentioning
The bidirectional interaction between the gut microbiota (GM) and the Central Nervous System, the so-called gut microbiota brain axis (GMBA), deeply affects brain function and has an important impact on the development of neurodegenerative diseases. In Parkinson’s disease (PD), gastrointestinal symptoms often precede the onset of motor and non-motor manifestations, and alterations in the GM composition accompany disease pathogenesis. Several studies have been conducted to unravel the role of dysbiosis and intestinal permeability in PD onset and progression, but the therapeutic and diagnostic applications of GM modifying approaches remain to be fully elucidated. After a brief introduction on the involvement of GMBA in the disease, we present evidence for GM alterations and leaky gut in PD patients. According to these data, we then review the potential of GM-based signatures to serve as disease biomarkers and we highlight the emerging role of probiotics, prebiotics, antibiotics, dietary interventions, and fecal microbiota transplantation as supportive therapeutic approaches in PD. Finally, we analyze the mutual influence between commonly prescribed PD medications and gut-microbiota, and we offer insights on the involvement also of nasal and oral microbiota in PD pathology, thus providing a comprehensive and up-to-date overview on the role of microbial features in disease diagnosis and treatment.
“…Consistent with this pathological model of PD, one clinical study found evidence of leaky gut indicated by: widespread inflammation and disrupted GI epithelial tissue; an increase in calprotectin as well as zonulin, two well-validated biochemical markers of gut inflammation and oxidative stress, in fecal matter and serum in more than 50% of PD cases [ 278 ]. Additionally, immunohistochemical data suggest that the integrity of the gut barrier is compromised in PD cases as evidenced by alterations in tight junctions in GI epithelia [ 279 ]. In PD cases, the expression of claudin, occludin, and occludens-1—three structural proteins that are involved in the assembly and maintenance of tight junctions—is aberrantly altered in the colon in PD cases and is associated with increased permeability of intestinal epithelial barriers [ 65 , 280 ].…”
Section: Human Neuroimmune Diseases With Altered Microbiomesmentioning
Recent advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have opened the door to a wellspring of information regarding the composition of the gut microbiota. Leveraging NGS technology, early metagenomic studies revealed that several diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, autism, and myalgic encephalomyelitis, are characterized by alterations in the diversity of gut-associated microbes. More recently, interest has shifted toward understanding how these microbes impact their host, with a special emphasis on their interactions with the brain. Such interactions typically occur either systemically, through the production of small molecules in the gut that are released into circulation, or through signaling via the vagus nerves which directly connect the enteric nervous system to the central nervous system. Collectively, this system of communication is now commonly referred to as the gut-microbiota-brain axis. While equally important, little attention has focused on the causes of the alterations in the composition of gut microbiota. Although several factors can contribute, mucosal immunity plays a significant role in shaping the microbiota in both healthy individuals and in association with several diseases. The purpose of this review is to provide a brief overview of the components of mucosal immunity that impact the gut microbiota and then discuss how altered immunological conditions may shape the gut microbiota and consequently affect neuroimmune diseases, using a select group of common neuroimmune diseases as examples.
