Genome-Wide Association Study of Parkinson Disease: Genes and Environment

ABSTRACT:

This is a gene-environment study of Parkinson's disease. PD is a common, progressive, age-related, movement disorder that affects 1-2% of the people over the age of 65. The NeuroGenetics Research Consortium (NGRC) is the infrastructure of the study. Protocols and methods are standardized across NGRC clinics and labs as much as possible. The 2000 patients and 2000 control subjects selected for this GWAS were recruited at the NGRC-affiliated movement disorder clinics in Oregon, Washington, Georgia and New York. All 4000 subjects were white and all DNA samples were extracted from whole blood and unamplified. Seventy-five percent of subjects have data on cigarette smoking and caffeinated coffee consumption, which are inversely associated with PD risk. This study population represents the norm for clinical genetic studies of PD; i.e., NGRC estimates of risk to relatives, heritability, genotype frequencies, and exposure frequencies (see references) are very close to estimates from meta-analyses.

Parkinson disease (PD) is a prevalent movement disorder of unknown cause whose incidence rises with increasing age. Nearly 20% of PD is familial, a small subset of which exhibits autosomal dominant transmission. However, in most families, the inheritance is not clear. To determine the most likely mode of inheritance of PD, we performed complex segregation analyses using kindreds of 136 PD patients randomly ascertained from a clinic population. The hypotheses of a nontransmissible environmental f ...[more]

A Next-Generation Sequencing Study in a Cohort of Patients with Parkinson’s Disease

Project description:Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a multisystem and multifactorial disorder. Therefore, the application of modern genetic techniques may assist in unraveling its complex pathophysiology. Methods: We conducted a clinical-demographic evaluation of 126 patients with PD, all of whom were Caucasian and of Sicilian ancestry. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood for each patient, followed by sequencing using a Next-Generation Sequencing system. This system was based on a custom gene panel comprising 162 genes. The sample underwent further filtering, taking into account allele frequencies of genetic variants, their presence in the Human Gene Mutation Database, and their association in the literature with PD or other movement/neurodegenerative disorders. Results: The largest number of variants was identified in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene. However, variants in other genes, such as acid beta-glucosidase (GBA), DNA polymerase gamma, catalytic subunit (POLG), and parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin protein ligase (PRKN), were also discovered. Interestingly, some of these variants had not been previously associated with PD. Conclusions: Enhancing our understanding of the genetic basis of PD and identifying new variants possibly linked to the disease will contribute to improved diagnostic accuracy, therapeutic developments, and prognostic insights for affected individuals.

Proteomic profile of saliva in Parkinson’s disease patients.

Project description:Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder. Lewy pathology involves numerous organs. Submandibular glands are affected in about 75% of in vivo cases, with higher rates of positive findings in post-mortem histopathological studies. Salivary microbiome composi-tion in PD patients is also different than in healthy patients. Therefore, we hypothesize that saliva may serve as a potential source of biomarkers of Parkinson’s disease. To evaluate and compare the salivary proteome of PD patients and healthy controls (HC). Salivary samples from 39 subjects (24 PD patients mean age 61.6 8.2 and 15 HC mean age 60.96.7) were used. Saliva was collected 30 minutes after rinsing mouth with tap water, in the morning hours, using RNA-Pro-Sal kits. Samples were immediately frozen at -80oC after collection. Label-free LC-MS/MS mass spectrometry was performed to comprehensively characterize the proteome of the saliva. IPA analysis of upstream inhibitors was performed. A total of 530 proteins and peptides were identified. We observed significantly lower concentrations of S100-A16, ARP2/3 and VPS4B in PD group vs controls. Additional IPA analysis indicated PD98059 to be most significantly activated and beta-estradiol most significantly inhibited upstream regulators. Conclusions: Very limited data on the salivary proteome of PD subjects is available. The results of our analysis indicate that the salivary proteome of PD patients might be different than that of healthy controls. We observed significantly lower concentrations of proteins involved in inflammatory processes, exosome formation and adipose tissue formation among others. Upstream regulator analysis indicated several proteins previously associated with neurodegeneration to drive the differential protein expression in saliva. The main limitations of the study are variability of expression of proteins between subjects in the two groups and variations caused by external factors.

Single-Cell Transcriptomics of Human Substantia Nigra in Parkinson's Disease

Project description:Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative movement disorder with unknown etiology. Loss of neuromelanin-containing dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substanstia nigra (SN) is the hallmark of PD neuropathology. Here we performed single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) of nuclei from the postmortem SN of control and idiopathic PD patients across various disease stages. The resulting transcriptomic atlas revealed a landscape of cellular alterations associated with disease progression in PD.

Parkinson Phenotype in Aged PINK1-Deficient Mice Is Accompanied by Progressive Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Absence of Neurodegeneration

Project description:Parkinson's disease (PD) is an adult-onset movement disorder of largely unknown etiology. We have previously shown that loss-of-function mutations of the mitochondrial protein kinase PINK1 (PTEN induced putative kinase 1) cause the recessive PARK6 variant of PD. Now we generated a PINK1 deficient mouse and observed several novel phenotypes: A progressive reduction of weight and of locomotor activity selectively for spontaneous movements occurred at old age. As in PD, abnormal dopamine levels in the aged nigrostriatal projection accompanied the reduced movements. Possibly in line with the PARK6 syndrome but in contrast to sporadic PD, a reduced lifespan, dysfunction of brainstem and sympathetic nerves, visible aggregates of M-NM-1-synuclein within Lewy bodies or nigrostriatal neurodegeneration were not present in aged PINK1-deficient mice. However, we demonstrate PINK1 mutant mice to exhibit a progressive reduction in mitochondrial preprotein import correlating with defects of core mitochondrial functions like ATP-generation and respiration. In contrast to the strong effect of PINK1 on mitochondrial dynamics in Drosophila melanogaster and in spite of reduced expression of fission factor Mtp18, we show reduced fission and increased aggregation of mitochondria only under stress in PINK1-deficient mouse neurons. Thus, aging Pink1M-bM-^HM-^R/M-bM-^HM-^R mice show increasing mitochondrial dysfunction resulting in impaired neural activity similar to PD, in absence of overt neuronal death. Transcriptome microarray data of Pink1-/- mouse brains in absence of a stressor, even at old age, show remarkably sparse dysregulations. See Gispert-S et al 2009 PLOS ONE. Factorial design comparing Pink1 knock-out mice with wild type littermates in three different tissues (striatum, midbrain, cerebellum at four different timepoints (6, 12, 14 weeks, and 18 month)

Metabolomics of sebum reveals lipid dysregulation in Parkinson's disease

Project description:Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, which is characterised by degeneration of distinct neuronal populations, including dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra. Here, we use a metabolomics profiling approach to identify changes to lipids in PD observed in sebum, a non-invasively available biofluid. We used liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to analyse 274 samples from participants (80 drug naïve PD, 138 medicated PD and 56 well matched control subjects) and detected metabolites that could predict PD phenotype. Pathway enrichment analysis shows alterations in lipid metabolism related to the carnitine shuttle, sphingolipid metabolism, arachidonic acid metabolism and fatty acid biosynthesis. This study shows sebum can be used to identify potential biomarkers for PD.

Transcriptional analysis of peripheral memory T cells reveals Parkinson’s disease-specific gene signatures

Project description:Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a multi-stage neurodegenerative disorder with largely unknown etiology. To further characterize the role of T cells in PD associated autoimmunity, we performed RNA sequencing on PBMC and peripheral CD4 and CD8 memory T cell subsets derived from PD patients and age-matched healthy controls. Considering T cell reactivity to -syn, the study revealed a broad differential gene expression profile in memory T cell subsets and a specific PD associated gene signature. This study found a significant enrichment of transcriptomic signatures previously associated with PD, such as oxidative stress and phosphorylation, autophagy of mitochondria, cholesterol metabolism, and inflammation. We also identified novel genes associated with PD, including xx. Altogether, the findings in this study suggest that the study of circulating T cells from PD subjects with an ongoing -syn-specific T cell response may provide new insights to understand the complexity of the disease and suggest potential intervention targets.

Parkinson's disease genes VPS35 and EIF4G1 interact genetically and converge on alpha-synuclein

Project description:Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common human neurodegenerative movement disorder. Studies of the genetic forms of PD have helped to reveal disease mechanisms. Functional interactions between some Parkinson's disease (PD) genes, like PINK1 and parkin, have been identified, but whether other ones interact remains elusive. Here we report an unexpected genetic interaction between two PD genes, VPS35 and EIF4G1. We provide evidence that EIF4G1 upregulation causes defects associated with protein misfolding. Expression of a sortilin protein rescues these defects, downstream of VPS35, suggesting a potential role for sortilins in PD. We also show interactions between VPS35, EIF4G1 and alpha-synuclein, a protein with a key role in the pathogenesis of both sporadic and familial PD. We extend our findings from yeast to an animal model and show these interactions are conserved in neurons. We also connect VPS35 impairments to neurodegeneration in alpha-synuclein transgenic mice. Our studies reveal unexpected genetic and functional interactions between two seemingly unrelated PD genes and functionally connect them to alpha-synuclein pathobiology in yeast, worms, and mouse. Finally, we provide a resource of candidate PD genes for future genetic and functional interrogation.

Role and dysregulation of miRNA in patients with Parkinson’s disease

Project description:Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most common movement disorder in the aging population, with an estimated prevalence of 1% of people above 60 years old. More recently, PD risk genes, have been found to be regulated by the small non-coding RNAs, (microRNAs or miRNAs), and, as such, may contribute to PD development through a direct regulation on the mitochondrial and immune pathways. Many of these are influenced by epigenetic mechanisms, among which ones mediated by, miRNAs, that regulate gene expression at a post transcriptional level by binding to their 3′ un-translated region (3′ UTR) of target messenger RNAs (mRNAs) inducing mRNA degradation and translational repression. This study aimed to identify and characterize miRNA to evaluate their possible deregulation in PD patients compared to CRTL. In addition, we investigated how specific miRNAs are able to target genes and, thus, to modulate their functions in PD patient. Small RNA expression profiling was performed by next-generation sequencing in PD patients and CTRL after filtered out low-quality reads and trimming the adaptors. The obtained high-quality reads were aligned against the human genome reference.
