What is Parkinson?
It is neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the
progressive loss of the Dopaminergic neurons in the
substantia nigra pars compacta which innervates the dorsal
striatum.

Clinical Presentation
° Bradykinesia (akinesia)
° This is a lack or difficulty in initiating voluntary muscle movement & in advanced
stages is characterized by ‘frozen” muscle.
° Muscular rigidity
° This is usually of the plastic type i.e. it gives way in series of jerks.
° Resting tremor
° Repetitive muscle activity usually worse when the patient at rest.
° An impairment of postural balance leading to disturbances of gait and falling.
° Parkinsonian patients also display depressed mood and cognitive deficit.
° Secondary characteristics
° Impaired speech - muscle weakness - autonomic hyperactivity eg. Salivation.

Pathophysiology
° Parkinson disease is caused by the death of the nerve cells in the substantia nigra,
which produce the neurotransmitter dopamine.
° Without dopamine, the brain is unable to transmit messages between nerve cells,
resulting in a decrease in muscle function.
© When 80% of dopamine producing cells are damaged, the symptoms of Parkinson
disease start to appear.

Lewy Bodies
are abnormal aggregations of protein
that develop inside nerve cells
They are identified under the
microscope when histology is
performed on the brain.
Lewy bodies may be found in the
brainstem (within the substantia
nigra) or within the cortex.

ETIOLOGIC FACTORS
Aging
° The possible role of aging in the pathogenesis of PD is suggested by its usual occurrence in late
middle age, and by marked increases in its prevalence at older ages.
° The possible contribution of age to the expression of the disease is further supported by early
studies showing a loss with age of striatal DA .and DA of cells in the SN.
° For example, although the number of dopaminergic terminals appears to decrease with age,
this takes place with a different temporal and spatial pattern than occurs in PD .The loss of SN
neurons in aging is linear and predominantly in the dorsal tier of the SNpc, whereas in PD it is
° exponential and predominantly in the lateral ventral tier .In addition, the SN in PD contains
numerous reactive microglia, which are much less frequent in agematched control brains,
indicating an active destructive process that is not present in the normal aged brain.
° Thus, whereas there is no question that increased age is a risk factor for PD, it remains unclear
what precise role aging plays in pathogenesis.

Synuclein
Alpha-synuclein is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by
the SNCA gene.
>is abundant in the brain while smaller amounts are found in the heart,
muscle, and other tissues.
en the brain, alpha-synuclein is found mainly at the tips of nerve cells
(neurons) in specialized structures called presynaptic terminals.
°It is predominantly expressed in the neocortex, hippocampus,
substantia nigra, thalamus, and cerebellum. It is predominantly a
neuronal protein, but can also be found in the neuroglial cells.
°In rare cases of familial forms of Parkinson's disease, there is a
mutation in the gene coding for alpha-synuclein. Five point mutations
have been identified thus far: A537T,A30P'E46K, H50Q, and G51D.

Parkinson’s disease is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder. Clinically, this disease is characterized by
bradykinesia, resting tremors, and rigidity due to loss of dopaminergic neurons within the substania nigra section of the ventral
midbrain. In the normal state, release of the neurotransmitter dopamine in the presynaptic neuron results in signaling in the
postsynaptic neuron through D1- and D2-type dopamine receptors. D1 receptors signal through G proteins to activate adenylate
cyclase, causing cAMP formation and activation of PKA. D2-type receptors block this signaling by inhibiting adenylate cyclase.
Parkinson’s disease can occur through both genetic mutation (familial) and exposure to environmental and neurotoxins
(sporadic). Recessively inherited loss-of-function mutations in parkin, DJ-1, and PINK1 cause mitochondrial dysfunction and
accumulation of reactive oxidative species (ROS), whereas dominantly inherited missense mutations in a-synuclein and LRRK2
may affect protein degradation pathways, leading to protein aggregation and accumulation of Lewy bodies. Mitochondrial
dysfunction and protein aggregation in dopaminergic neurons may be responsible for their premature degeneration. Another
common feature of the mutations in a-synuclein, Parkin, DJ-1, PINK1, and LRRK2 is the impairment in dopamine release and
dopaminergic neurotransmission, which may be an early pathogenic precursor prior to death of dopaminergic neurons. Exposure
to environmental and neurotoxins can also cause mitochondrial functional impairment and release of ROS, leading to a number of
cellular responses including apoptosis and disruption of protein degradation pathways. There is also an inflammatory component
to this disease, resulting from activation of microglia that cause the release of inflammatory cytokines and cell stress. This
microglia activation causes apoptosis via the JNK pathway and by blocking the Akt signaling pathway via REDD1
