Antisaccades in Parkinson's Disease: A Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: The usefulness of eye-tracking tasks as potential biomarkers for motor or cognitive disease burden in Parkinson's disease (PD) has been subject of debate for many years. Several studies suggest that the performance in the antisaccade task may be altered in patients with PD and associated with motor disease severity or executive dysfunction. In this meta-analysis, random effects models were used to synthesize the existing evidence on antisaccade error rates and latency in PD. Furthermore, meta-regressions were performed to assess the role of motor and cognitive disease severity, dopaminergic medication and methodological factors. Additionally, the impact of acute levodopa administration and activation of deep brain stimulation was evaluated in two separate sub-analyses.This meta-analysis confirms that antisaccade latency and error rate are significantly increased in PD. Disease duration, Unified Parkinson's disease rating scale score and Hoehn and Yahr stage mediate the effect of PD on antisaccade latency with higher motor burden being associated with increased antisaccade latency.Acute administration of levodopa had no significant effects on antisaccade performance in a small number of eligible studies. Deep brain stimulation in the subthalamic nucleus, on the other hand, may alter the speed accuracy trade-off supporting an increase of impulsivity following deep brain stimulation in PD.According to the results of the meta-analysis, antisaccade latency may provide a potential marker for disease severity and progression in PD which needs further confirmation in longitudinal studies.

Vertical saccades and antisaccades: complementary markers for motor and cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease.

Project description:Previous studies provide partly contradictory results about the characteristics of saccades in PD and the possible effects of levodopa, which may be attributed to different study design regarding disease stages, medication state or cognitive functioning. We studied horizontal and vertical visually guided saccades (VGS) and antisaccades (AS) in 40 patients with PD with and without postural instability in On and Off medication state as well as in 20 healthy controls (HC). Motor and cognitive performance were assessed using UPDRS, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB). The PD group showed decreased VGS amplitudes and increased vertical VGS and AS latencies. Only relatively few studies had assessed vertical saccades in PD so far. However, our results indicate that vertical saccadic amplitude may be a supportive marker in diagnosing PD since upwards gain demonstrated an AUC of 0.85 for the discrimination of PD and HC. Only more advanced patients in Hoehn & Yahr stage 3 executed higher numbers of AS errors than HC. Since the AS error rate correlated with FAB and MoCA scores, AS performance seems to reflect cognitive ability in PD. Furthermore, the correlation of AS latency with the UPDRS axial subscore promotes the recently highlighted connection between postural control and executive function in PD. Levodopa did not alter saccade amplitudes and had opposing effects on the initiation of VGS and AS: Levodopa intake prolonged VGS latency, but decreased AS latency. Possible mechanisms by which levodopa may be capable of partially reversing the impaired balance between voluntary and reflexive cortical saccade initiation of PD are discussed.

Systematic meta-analysis and replication of genome-wide expression studies of Parkinson's disease: 2

Project description:Systematic meta-analysis and replication of genome-wide expression studies identifies molecular pathways of Parkinson's disease. Examination of substantia nigra from postmortem brains of 8 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The substantia nigra samples from 8 PD subjects were obtained from the Human Brain and Spinal Fluid Resource Center, VAMC, Los Angeles, CA, the Mind Unit Brain Bank at the University of Rochester, Rochester, NY, and from Dr. E. Masliah at UCSD, San Diego, CA, and 9 control subjects were obtained from the University of Rochester Alzheimer's Disease Center brain bank. The RNA was extracted using Trizol reagent (Invitrogen), DNAse treated with Qiagen DNAse, and analyzed on a bioanalyzer. The complementary RNA was fragmented and hybridized to Affymetrix human U133A arrays. The total 17 Affymetrix .CEL files were normalized to "all probe sets" in a standardized matter, and scaled to 100 by the MAS5 algorithm implemented in the Bioconductor package.

Systematic meta-analysis and replication of genome-wide expression studies of Parkinson's disease: 3

Project description:Systematic meta-analysis and replication of genome-wide expression studies identifies molecular pathways of Parkinson's disease. Analysis of substantia nigrae from postmortem brains of 6 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Results provide insight into the molecular processes perturbed in the PD substantia nigra. Substantia nigra samples from 6 PD and 5 control subjects were obtained. At autopsy, brain hemispheres were frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80C in the Kathleen Price Bryan Brain Bank in the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at Duke University. Using the RNAgents kit (Promega, Madison, Wis), RNA was extracted from SN and adjacent midbrain tissues. Double-stranded complementary DNA was made with a biotinylated T7(dT)-24 primer. Twenty micrograms of biotinylated complementary RNA was fragmented and hybridized to Affymetrix human genome U133A microarrays. The Affymetrix .CEL files were normalized to "all probe sets" in a standardized matter, and scaled to 100 by the MAS5 algorithm implemented in the Bioconductor package.

Project description:Systematic meta-analysis and replication of genome-wide expression studies identifies molecular pathways of Parkinson’s disease. Snap-frozen human substantia nigras (SNs) of 16 individuals with a clinicopathological diagnosis of incidental Lewy body (ILB) disease with Lewy bodies detected in the brainstem nuclei of locus coeruleus and substantia nigra, but generally not in higher cortical regions consistent with Braak stage 3 criteria for Parkinson's disease (PD), and 17 age-, sex-, postmortem interval-, and RNA integrity number-matched controls, who were clinicopathologically within normal limits for age collected under the rapid-autopsy program of Sun Health Research Institute or by the Harvard Brain Tissue Resource Center at McLean Hospital, were used for gene expression analyses in stage 2. Protocols were approved by the Institutional Review Board of Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

The effects of unilateral versus bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation on prosaccades and antisaccades in Parkinson's disease.

Project description:Unilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in patients with Parkinson's disease improves skeletomotor function assessed clinically, and bilateral STN DBS improves motor function to a significantly greater extent. It is unknown whether unilateral STN DBS improves oculomotor function and whether bilateral STN DBS improves it to a greater extent. Further, it has also been shown that bilateral, but not unilateral, STN DBS is associated with some impaired cognitive-motor functions. The current study compared the effect of unilateral and bilateral STN DBS on sensorimotor and cognitive aspects of oculomotor control. Patients performed prosaccade and antisaccade tasks during no stimulation, unilateral stimulation, and bilateral stimulation. There were three sets of findings. First, for the prosaccade task, unilateral STN DBS had no effect on prosaccade latency and it reduced prosaccade gain; bilateral STN DBS reduced prosaccade latency and increased prosaccade gain. Second, for the antisaccade task, neither unilateral nor bilateral stimulation had an effect on antisaccade latency, unilateral STN DBS increased antisaccade gain, and bilateral STN DBS increased antisaccade gain to a greater extent. Third, bilateral STN DBS induced an increase in prosaccade errors in the antisaccade task. These findings suggest that while bilateral STN DBS benefits spatiotemporal aspects of oculomotor control, it may not be as beneficial for more complex cognitive aspects of oculomotor control. Our findings are discussed considering the strategic role the STN plays in modulating information in the basal ganglia oculomotor circuit.

Diabetes and risk of Parkinson's disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Project description:OBJECTIVE: Diabetes has been associated with chronic neurodegeneration. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the relationship between pre-existing diabetes and Parkinson's disease (PD). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Original articles in English published up to 10 May 2011 were searched for in electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, and Scopus) and by reviewing references of eligible articles. Prospective cohort and case-control studies providing risk and precision estimates relating to pre-existing diabetes and PD were considered eligible. RESULTS: Nine studies/1,947 citations (cohort, N = 4; case-control, N = 5) fulfilled inclusion criteria for meta-analysis. In prospective studies, the onset of diabetes before onset of PD was found to be a risk factor for future PD (relative risk [RR] = 1.37 [95%CI 1.21-1.55]; P < 0.0001). This association was confirmed by secondary analyses based on estimates derived after the exclusion of participants who had vascular disease at baseline and/or who developed vascular disease during follow-up (RR = 1.34 [1.14-1.58]; P < 0.001) and by sensitivity analyses addressing the association with diabetes at baseline or during follow-up. However, the association found for case-control studies was not significant (odds ratio [OR] 0.75 [95%CI 0.50-1.11]; P = 0.835). Sensitivity analysis based on estimates adjusted for BMI confirmed the lack of a relationship between PD and diabetes (OR 0.56 [0.28-1.15]; P = 0.089). CONCLUSIONS: Although data from cohort studies suggest that diabetes is a risk factor for PD, there is no conclusive evidence on this association. Further prospective studies focused on putative pathogenic pathways and taking a broad range of confounders into account is required to clarify this relationship.
