Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is characterized by loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of the basal ganglia (1). We mined published and public microarray (2, 3) datasets to identify genes whose expression was most different in the brains of patients with PD as compared to that of non-affected patients. We identified significant changes in expression of the gene encoding the cyclin-dependent kinase CDK6 in the substantia nigra of patients with PD.

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is characterized by loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of the basal ganglia (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3, 4) to identify genes whose expression was most different in the brains of patients with PD as compared to that of non-affected patients. We identified significant changes in expression of the gene encoding the histone lysine N-methyltransferase KMT5B in the substantia nigra of patients with PD.

AbstractParkinson’s disease (PD) affects millions of people worldwide and causes symptoms such as bradykinesia and disrupted speech. Parkinson’s disease is known to be characterized by the mass death of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra region. In the status quo, PD is often diagnosed at late stages because obvious motor symptoms appear after the disease has progressed far. It is advantageous to diagnose PD before the onset of motor symptoms because treatments are often more effective at early stages. While motor symptoms usually manifest when over 50% of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra are already lost, molecular signatures of PD may be present at early stages in patient blood. This study aimed to analyze several gene expression studies’ data for commonly differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the blood of early stage PD patients. 147 DEGs were identified in at least two out of three datasets and passed cut-off criteria. A protein interaction network for the DEGs was constructed and various tools were used to identify network characteristics and hub genes. PANTHER analysis revealed that the biological process “cellular response to glucagon stimulus” was overrepresented by almost 21 times among the DEGs and “lymphocyte differentiation” by 5.98 times. Protein catabolic processes and protein kinase functions were also overrepresented. ESR1, CD19, SMAD3, FOS, CXCR5, and PRKACA may be potential biomarkers and warrant further study. Overall, the findings of the present study provide insights on molecular mechanisms of PD and provide greater confidence on which genes are differentially expressed in PD. The results also are additional evidence for the role of the immune system in PD, a topic that is gaining interest in the PD research community.

AbstractParkinson's disease is the most common basal ganglia disorder that is caused by the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. This article reviews the normal physiology of the basal ganglia in the normal state, as well as the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease (PD) and other movement disorders associated with the basal ganglia. Also discussed is the pathophysiological basis for the surgical treatment of PD.
