Journal: Dopamine signaling modulates microglial NLRP3 inflammasome activation: implications for Parkinson's disease. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 8, 2022 -syn-induced dopaminergic dysfunction is characterized by dopamine turnover perturbation with accumulation of dysfunctional DAT and that these pre -degenerative synaptic alterat ions can initiate nigrostriatal deafferentation. Dopamine inhibits canonical, non-canonical, and α-syn-mediated activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in primary human microglia, as does high extracellular K. We suggest that dopamine serves as an endogenous repressor of the K efflux-dependent microglial NLRP3 inflammasome activation that contributes to dopaminergic neurodegeneration in PD, and that this reciprocation may account for the specific vulnerability of these neurons to disease pathology.

There is growing research supporting exercise in the treatment of PD-MCI, but most non-pharmacological approaches have insufficient evidence for use in PD-MCI (cognitive rehabilitation, deep brain stimulation, transcranial direct current stimulation, transcranial ultrasound, vestibular nerve stimulation) and PDD (cognitive intervention, deep brain stimulation, transcranial alternating current stimulation, transcranial ultrasound, temporal blood brain barrier disruption). Research is needed for both disease-modifying and symptomatic treatments in PD cognitive impairment.

SGS-518, ABT-354, Lu AE58054, SB-742,457, S-518, AVN-211, AVN-322, SYN-114 and SYN-120 are serotonin 6 receptor antagonists and aripiprazole-controlled release serotonin 7 receptor agonists under clinical trial for schizophrenia. Thus, research on novel drugs that act on serotonin 6 and 7 receptors likely facilitates the intervention into schizophrenia patients seeking better quality of life in the future.
