Transcranial sonography tail and Transcriptomics in PD

Transcranial sonography in PD

{Booth, 2015 #1745}
REVIEW
  • Transcranial sonography reveals hyperechogenicity of thesubstantia nigra (Fig 5), which, together with normal echogenicity of the basal ganglia, has a positive predictive value of 93% for a prospective PD diagnosis.27 An advantage of transcranial sonographyis that these findings may also be premotor biomarkers.28
  • However, a disadvantage is that up to 20% of white and 60% of Asians cannot be studied due to an inadequate temporal acoustic bone window.

  • A recent systematic review [8]. identified 33 original genome-wide transcriptomic studies in the PD brain,
  • Of which 5 were performed on laser microdissected neurons from SNc) and the remaining in bulk tissue from various brain regions
The most consistent alterations have been found in pathways related to energy metabolism / mitochondrial function and protein degradation, followed by synaptic transmission, vesicle trafficking, lysosome / autophagy and neuroinflammation [8].
  • surprisingly low replicability at the level of individual genes, however, and only partial concordance for pathways.
  • Confounding factors:
  • Postmortem RNA degradation: {Jaffe, 2017 #1807} different cell types exhibit different degrees of susceptibility to RNA degradation.

Postmortem brain{Nido, 2020 #1310} sPD (n of 49), pre-frontal cortexCommon gene expression signatures in PD are driven by changes in cell composition (ie neuron줄고 microglia, oligodendrocyte, astrocyte 느는 것이 DEG에 반영될 뿐이니, 이는 confounding 이다, PD vs HC 시에)(Before compensate for cell type composition) vesicle trafficking, synaptic transmission, immune, mt function → (after compensating cell type heterogeneity) ER, lipid oxidation, UPR

cell fraction ↑ microglia, ↑ astrocytes, ↓ oligodendrycytes, no loss in the number of DaNs in the IPD, DaNs comprised 0.18% of total cell, but ↓45.9% in neuromelanin-positive nigral DaNs in PD patients vs HC.
PD-microglia revealed a specific pro-inflammatory trajectory (FIG3, ↑GPNMB, ↑IL1B, ↑HSP90AA1). Microglia activation trajectory spans from P2RY12high cells towards two activation branches, one containing GPNMB high cells and another with cells highly expressing HSP90AA1 or IL1B (subpopulation 이라고 하네) (Fig. 3C). less ramified microglia in IPD,
Finally, we discovered a neuronal cell cluster exclusively present in IPD midbrains characterized by CADPS2 overexpression and a high proportion of cycling cells. We conclude that elevated CADPS2 expression is specific to dysfunctional dopaminergic neurons, which have lost their dopaminergic identity and unsuccessful attempt to re-enter the cell cycle,

pathway analyses highlighted cytokine signalling and, likely upstream of this, an induction of the UPR pathway. We also found chaperones and heat-shock proteins overexpressed along the disease trajectory, which when they are released from the cell can act as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs
