Parkinson's Disease Tremor Dataset - ALAMEDA
<p><span>The ALAMEDA_PD_tremor_dataset.csv contains 92 features extracted from raw accelerometer data after pre-processing, 4 tremor-related labels and some other metadata. In total, it includes 99 columns:</span></p> <ol> <li> <p><span>The first two columns correspond to the start_timestamp and the end_timestamp of the time window from which the respective features have been extracted.</span></p> </li> <li> <p><span>The third column corresponds to the subject_id, which is used to uniquely identify PD patients enrolled in the current study.</span></p> </li> <li> <p><span>The next 92 columns correspond to features extracted from raw triaxial accelerometer data collected with the GENEActiv smart bracelets throughout 30-min MDS-UPDRS assessment during in-clinic visits, after applying some preprocessing steps. First, the accelerometer signals were band-pass filtered [2.5 Hz, 12.5 Hz] to enable tremor detection. Then, the magnitude and the first principal component of the filtered signals were computed to attenuate the dependency on sensor placement and orientation. Finally, the transformed signals were segmented into time windows of 2048 samples (or 20.48 sec) with 50% overlap. Then, 92 features were extracted in both time and frequency domains. Spectral features were extracted after applying Fast Fourier Transform. The full list of the extracted features is demonstrated in the table below. These features can feed Machine Learning models to predict the presence/absence of PD tremor.</span></p> </li> <li> <p><span>The final 4 columns correspond to tremor-related labels (Constancy_of_rest, Kinetic_tremor, Postural_tremor and Rest_tremor). They derive from the respective MDS-UPDRS III annotations, after transforming them to make them suitable for binary classification. More specifically, zero scores remained 0 to indicate the absence of tremor while positive scores were transformed to 1 to indicate the presence of tremor. Each of these columns can be used as a target to be predicted with the help of Machine Learning models.</span></p> </li> </ol>
Comparative analysis of Parkinson's and inflammatory bowel disease gut microbiomes reveals shared butyrate-producing bacteria depletion
<p><strong>Abstract: </strong>Epidemiological studies reveal that inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with an increased risk of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Gut dysbiosis has been documented in both PD and IBD, however it is currently unknown whether gut dysbiosis underlies the epidemiological association between both diseases. To identify shared and distinct features of the PD and IBD microbiome, we recruited 54 PD, 26 IBD, and 16 healthy control individuals and performed the first joint analysis of gut metagenomes. Larger, publicly available PD and IBD metagenomic datasets were also analyzed to validate and extend our findings. Depletions in short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-producing bacteria, including <em>Roseburia intestinalis, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Anaerostipes hadrus</em>, and <em>Eubacterium rectale</em>, as well depletion in SCFA-synthesis pathways were detected across PD and IBD datasets, suggesting that depletion of these microbes in IBD may influence the risk for PD development.</p> <p><strong>Zenodo contents:</strong> In this Zenodo archive we provide the post-QC and taxonomic and functional profiling "Source Data" used in all downstream analyses to generate tables and figures seen in our manuscript.

Raw data for "Effect of MRgFUS treatment on cortical activity in Parkinson's disease: a fNIRS study"
<p>In this paper, a new combined approach, based on Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS) technique and functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS), was applied for treatment and monitoring of patients affected by bilateral Parkinson’s disease (PD). On one side, MRgFUS enables non-invasive thalamotomy by combining FUS for tissue ablation and MR for targeting and monitoring. On the other side, fNIRS allows to monitor, non-invasively and without strict motion restriction even in a daily life environment, cortical neural activity related dynamics of both oxygenated and deoxygenated haemoglobin (HbO and HbR, respectively). In particular, the changes of cortical activation pattern in PD patients, with respect to age matched healthy control subjects, were analysed, while performing left and right hand finger tapping (LFT and RFT, respectively), before MRgFUS treatment, and at two different time intervals after the treatment. By comparison with the pre-treatment session, significant activations were predominantly observed one week after the treatment, with patterns recalling those of control group, and partially lost one month later, likely because of the neurodegenerative nature of PD. In addition, activations were more marked for LFT task, being the treatment performed on the right hemisphere. These results appear promising in view of the application of fNIRS for neurorehabilitation, especially in those clinical settings where traditional neuroimaging techniques cannot be applied.</p>
Parkinson's disease-associated, sex-specific changes in DNA methylation at PARK7 (DJ-1), ATXN1, SLC17A6, NR4A2, and PTPRN2 in cortical neurons
<p>Evidence for epigenetic regulation playing a role in Parkinson's disease (PD) is growing, particularly for DNA methylation. Approximately 90% of PD cases are due to a complex interaction between age, genes, and environmental factors, and epigenetic marks are thought to mediate the relationship between aging, genetics, the environment, and disease risk. To date, there are a small number of published genome-wide studies of DNA methylation in PD, but none accounted for cell-type or sex in their analyses. Given the heterogeneity of bulk brain tissue samples and known sex differences in PD risk, progression, and severity, these are critical variables to account for. In this first genome-wide analysis of DNA methylation in an enriched neuronal population from PD post-mortem parietal cortex, we report sex-specific PD-associated methylation changes in <em>PARK7</em> (DJ-1), <em>SLC17A6</em> (VGLUT2), <em>PTPRN2</em> (IA-2β), <em>NR4A2</em> (NURR1), and other genes involved in developmental pathways, neurotransmitter packaging and release, and axon and neuron projection guidance.</p>
Source Data files for: Primary cilia and SHH signaling impairments in human and mouse models of Parkinson's disease
<p>Parkinson’s disease (PD) as a progressive neurodegenerative disorder arises from multiple genetic and environmental factors. However, underlying pathological mechanisms remain poorly understood. Using multiplexed single-cell transcriptomics, we analyze human neural precursor cells (hNPCs) from sporadic PD (sPD) patients. Alterations in gene expression appear in pathways related to primary cilia (PC). Accordingly, in these hiPSC-derived hNPCs and neurons, we observe a shortening of PC. Additionally, we detect a shortening of PC in <em>PINK1</em>-deficient human cellular and mouse models of familial PD. Furthermore, in sPD models, the shortening of PC is accompanied by an increased SHH signal transduction. Inhibition of this pathway rescues the alterations in PC morphology and mitochondrial dysfunction. Thus, increased SHH activity due to ciliary dysfunction is needed for the development of pathoetiological phenotypes observed in sPD, like mitochondrial dysfunction. In sum, altered PC function is part of early PD pathoetiology and inhibiting the overactive SHH signaling is a potential neuroprotective therapy.</p>
The c-Abl inhibitor IkT-148009 therapeutically suppresses neurodegeneration in models of heritable and sporadic Parkinson's Disease
<p>Parkinson's Disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system, with an estimated 5,000,000 cases worldwide. PD pathology is characterized by the accumulation of misfolded a-synuclein, which is thought to play a critical role in the etiopathogenesis of the disease. Animal models of PD suggest that activation of the Abelson Tyrosine Kinase, or c-Abl, plays an essential role in the initiation and progression of a-synuclein pathology and initiates processes leading to the degeneration of dopaminergic and non-dopaminergic neurons. Given the essential role of c-Abl in the disease, a proprietary c-Abl inhibitor library was developed to identify potent, orally bioavailable c-Abl inhibitors capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier based on pre-defined characteristics, leading to the discovery of IkT-148009. IkT-148009 is a selective, potent, brain-penetrant c-Abl inhibitor with a favorable toxicology profile that was analyzed for therapeutic potential in animal models of slowly progressive, a-synuclein-dependent disease. In models of both inherited and sporadic Parkinson's disease in the mouse, IkT-148009 suppressed c-Abl activation to baseline and substantially protected neurons from degeneration when administered therapeutically by once daily oral gavage beginning four weeks after disease initiation. Recovery of normal behavioral function in diseased mice occurred within 8 weeks of initiating treatment and occurred concomitantly with a substantial reduction of a-synuclein pathology in the brain. These disease-modifying outcomes in mice suggest IkT-148009 has the potential to be a disease-modifying therapy in human disease.</p>
Microbiome-based biomarkers to guide personalized microbiome-based therapies for Parkinson's disease
<p><strong>Abstract: </strong>We address an unmet challenge in Parkinson’s disease: the lack of biomarkers to identify the right patients for the right therapy, which is a main reason clinical trials for disease modifying treatments have all failed. The gut microbiome is a new target for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Our aim was to develop microbiome-based biomarkers to guide patient selection for microbiome-based clinical trials. We used microbial taxa that are robustly associated with PD across studies and at high significance as dysbiotic features of PD. Using individual-level taxonomic relative abundance data, we classified patients according to their dysbiotic features, effectively defining microbiome-based subtypes of PD. We show that not all persons with PD have a dysbiotic microbiome, and not all dysbiotic PD microbiomes have the same features. Grounded in robust and reproducible data from differential abundance studies, we propose an intuitive and easily modifiable method to identify the optimal candidates for microbiome-based clinical trials, and subsequently, for treatments that are personalized for each individual’s dysbiotic features. We demonstrate the method for PD. The concept, and the method, is generalizable for any disease with a microbiome component.</p> <p><strong>Zenodo</strong> <strong>content: </strong>In this Zenodo archive we provide (a) the method described step by step, which can be implemented in Microsoft Excel (we used v.16.84 (RRID:SCR_016137) <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/">https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/</a>) or in R (we used v4.3.3 (RRID:SCR_001905) <a title="https://www.r-project.org/ Cmd+Click or tap to follow the link" href="https://www.r-project.org/">https://www.r-project.org/</a>); and (b) data used to generate the results, tables and figures (except figure 2).

Parkinson-HMR
<p>The database includes the raw data of the article “Neuroprotective effects of lignan 7-hydroxymatairesinol (HMR/lignan) in a rodent model of Parkinson’s disease” (doi.org/10.1016/j.nut.2019.04.006). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of chronic treatment with lignan 7-hydroxymatairesinol (HMR/lignan) on Parkinson’s disease-associated neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory processes, and motor deficits in the 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) model. The database contains the data obtained by the following evaluations: a) immunohistochemical analysis of the extent of nigrostriatal lesion, b) motor performance assessment by cylinder test (at baseline and after 28days), apomorphine-induced rotation test, c) immunohistochemical analysis of neuroinflammatory response - involving microglia and astrocytes - in the substantia nigra pars compacta, investigating both cell activation and polarization.</p> <p>chronic treatment with HMR/lignan was able to slow down the progression of degeneration of striatal dopaminergic terminals in a rat model of PD, with a consequent improvement in motor performance. Nevertheless, the anti-inflammatory effect of HMR/lignan observed in SNc was not sufficient to protect dopaminergic cells bodies. These results suggest intriguing properties of HMR/lignan at neuroprotective and symptomatic levels in the context of PD.</p>
Metagenomics of Parkinson's disease implicates the gut microbiome in multiple disease mechanisms
<p><strong>Abstract:</strong> Parkinson's disease (PD) may start in the gut and spread to the brain. To investigate the role of gut microbiome, we conducted a large-scale study, at high taxonomic resolution, using uniform standardized methods from start to end. We enrolled 490 PD and 234 control individuals, conducted deep shotgun sequencing of fecal DNA, followed by metagenome-wide association studies requiring significance by two methods (ANCOM-BC and MaAsLin2) to declare disease association at species and genus level, followed by network analysis to identify polymicrobial clusters, and functional profiling based on microbial genes and pathways. Here we show that over 30% of species, genes and pathways tested have altered abundances in PD, depicting a widespread dysbiosis. PD-associated species form polymicrobial clusters that grow or shrink together, and some compete. PD microbiome is disease permissive, evidenced by overabundance of pathogens and immunogenic components, dysregulated neuroactive signaling, preponderance of molecules that induce alpha-synuclein pathology, and over-production of toxicants; with the reduction in anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective factors limiting the capacity to recover. We validate, in human PD, findings that were observed in experimental models; reconcile and resolve human PD microbiome literature, and provide a broad foundation with a wealth of concrete testable hypotheses to discern the role of the gut microbiome in PD. </p> <p><strong>Zenodo contents:</strong> In this Zenodo archive we provide (1) post sequence QC and post taxonomic and functional profiling "Source Data" used to generate tables and figures in the manuscript and (2) "Supplementary Code" that contains the workflow and code used to perform bioinformatic processing of shotgun sequences and statistical analyses of microbial profiles and subject metadata.

Data from: Decreased cerebrospinal fluid orexin levels not associated with clinical sleep disturbance in Parkinson's disease: A retrospective study
<p><span>Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) often suffer from sleep disturbances, including excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD). These symptoms are also experienced by patients with narcolepsy, which is characterized by orexin neuronal loss. In PD, a decrease in orexin neurons is observed pathologically, but the association between sleep disturbance in PD and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) orexin levels is still unclear. This study aimed to clarify the role of orexin as a biomarker in patients with PD.</span></p> <p><span>CSF samples were obtained from a previous cohort study conducted between 2015 and 2020. We cross-sectionally and longitudinally examined the association between CSF orexin levels, sleep, and clinical characteristics.</span></p> <p><span>We analyzed 78 CSF samples from 58 patients with PD and 21 samples from controls. CSF orexin levels in patients with PD (median = 272.0 [interquartile range = 221.7–334.5] pg/mL) were lower than those in controls (352.2 [296.2–399.5] pg/mL, p = 0.007). There were no significant differences in CSF orexin levels according to EDS, RBD, or the use of dopamine agonists. Moreover, no significant correlation was observed between CSF orexin levels and clinical characteristics by multiple linear regression analysis. Furthermore, the longitudinal changes in orexin levels were also not correlated with clinical characteristics.</span></p> <p><span>This study showed decreased CSF orexin levels in patients with PD, but these levels did not show any correlation with any clinical characteristics. Our results suggest the limited efficacy of CSF orexin levels as a biomarker for PD, and that sleep disturbances may also be affected by dysfunction of the nervous system other than orexin, or by dopaminergic treatments in PD.</span><span> Understanding the reciprocal role of orexin among other neurotransmitters may provide a better treatment strategy for sleep disturbance in patients with PD.</span></p>
