Project description:Neuroinflammation and accumulation of alphα-synuclein (α-syn) are core features of Parkinson disease (PD). We found that α-syn-induced neuroinflammation is driven by antigen presentation from CNS resident macrophages. A subset of these, border-associated macrophages (BAMs), expand and express genes and proteins necessary for immune cell recruitment, infiltration, and antigen presentation, whereas depletion of BAMs prevents neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. These results point to a critical role for BAMs in initiating PD pathogenesis.

Project description:Physical activity is thought to provide clinical benefit in Parkinson’s diseas (PD). Irisin is a blood-brain barrier permeable exercise-induced polypeptide secreted by muscle that mediates, in part, the beneficial effects of exercise. Here we show that irisin prevents pathologic -synuclein (-syn) induced neurodegeneration in the -syn preformed fibril mouse model of sporadic PD. Intravenous delivery of adenoviral irisin in vivo after the stereotaxic intrastriatal injection of -syn pre-formed fibrils reduced the formation of pathologic -syn and prevented the loss of dopamine neurons and reductions in striatal dopamine. Irisin also reduced the -syn pre-formed fibril induced motor deficits as assessed by the pole test and grip strength test. Administration of recombinant irisin in primary cortical neurons prevented pathologic -syn toxicity. Tandem mass spectrometry and biochemical analysis revealed that irisin reduced pathologic -syn by enhancing endolysosomal degradation of pathologic -syn. Our findings highlight the potential for therapeutic disease modification of irisin in PD.

Project description:The gastrointestinal tract may be a site of origin for α-synuclein (α-syn) pathology in idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (PD), and an abundance of aggregated α-syn has recently been demonstrated in both the healthy and PD appendix. However, the molecular changes that enable gut α-syn aggregates to contribute to the development and progression of PD remain unclear. Here, our deep-sequencing of DNA methylation changes at 521 autophagy-lysosomal pathway (ALP) genes in the human appendix and brain in PD and healthy controls indicates a pattern of widespread hypermethylation in the PD appendix that is recapitulated in the PD brain. There is significant overlap in the individual ALP genes affected across the PD appendix and brain, with lysosomal genes specifically downregulated in both regions. Healthy epigenetic aging, which involves a hypermethylation of macroautophagy and selective autophagy genes in the appendix and brain, is disrupted in both areas in PD. In mice, DNA methylation changes at ALP genes induced by chronic gut inflammation are greatly exacerbated by the presence of α-syn pathology. DNA methylation changes at ALP genes induced by α-synucleinopathy are significantly associated with the ALP abnormalities observed in the PD appendix, specifically involving lysosomal genes. Our work, which constitutes an in-depth, unbiased investigation of epigenetic changes in the ALP of the PD gut and brain, identifies the epigenetic misregulation of the ALP, especially a downregulation of lysosomal genes, as a potential culprit for the initiation and spread of α-syn pathology in idiopathic PD.
