OBJECTIVES: Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that causes motor and nonmotor symptoms due to the loss of dopaminergic nerves and is characterized by the presence of Lewy bodies, which are mainly composed of α-synuclein. Glucosylceramidase beta (GBA), which is a causative gene of autosomal recessive Gaucher disease, is also known to be a risk gene for Parkinson's disease. In this study, we tried to detect synergistic effects of α-synuclein accumulation and gba depletion on dopaminergic neurodegeneration in zebrafish. METHODS: We generated a transgenic line of zebrafish overexpressing the A53T α-synuclein and gba mutant fish, and analyzed pathologies of α-synuclein aggregation and neurodegeneration. RESULTS: Zebrafish overexpressing the A53T α-synuclein did not exhibit α-synuclein aggregate formation. After the loss of gba function in this mutant α-synuclein transgenic line, we observed the marked presence of α-synuclein aggregates. Loss of gba function in zebrafish resulted in dopaminergic and noradrenergic neurodegeneration but this level of neurodegeneration was not exacerbated by overexpression of mutant α-synuclein. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that loss of gba function was sufficient to generate a neurodegenerative phenotype in zebrafish regardless of the expression of α-synuclein.

The presence of ectopic DNA in the cytoplasm induces inflammation and cell death. It has been widely reported that leakage of nuclear DNA into the cytoplasm can mainly be sensed by cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS). We recently reported that mitochondria-derived cytoplasmic double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) that has escaped lysosomal degradation induces significant cytotoxicity in cultured cells and in vivo. Cytoplasmic mitochondrial DNA is assumed to be involved in various diseases and disorders, and more and more papers have been published confirming this. On the other hand, the current method for evaluating mitochondrial DNA in the cytoplasm may not be quantitative. Here, we introduce in detail a method to evaluate ectopic mitochondrial DNA in cells. This method is useful in basic research as well as in the study of aging, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, heart failure, autoimmune diseases, cancer, and other conditions.

In recent years, small fishes such as zebrafish and medaka have been widely recognized as model animals. They have high homology in genetics and tissue structure with humans and unique features that mammalian model animals do not have, such as transparency of embryos and larvae, a small body size and ease of experiments, including genetic manipulation. Zebrafish and medaka have been used extensively in the field of neurology, especially to unveil the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, and recently, these fishes have also been utilized to understand neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder. The turquoise killifish has emerged as a new and unique model animal, especially for ageing research due to its unique life cycle, and this fish also seems to be useful for age-related neurological diseases. These small fishes are excellent animal models for the analysis of human neurological disorders and are expected to play increasing roles in this field. Here, we introduce various applications of these model fishes to improve our understanding of human neurological disorders.

<title>Abstract</title>Mitochondrial dysfunction and lysosomal dysfunction have been implicated in Parkinson’s disease (PD), but the links between these dysfunctions in PD pathogenesis are still largely unknown. Here we report that cytosolic dsDNA of mitochondrial origin escaping from lysosomal degradation was shown to induce cytotoxicity in cultured cells and PD phenotypes in vivo. The depletion of PINK1, GBA and/or ATP13A2 causes increases in cytosolic dsDNA of mitochondrial origin and induces type I interferon (IFN) responses and cell death in cultured cell lines. These phenotypes are rescued by the overexpression of DNase II, a lysosomal DNase that degrades discarded mitochondrial DNA, or the depletion of IFI16, which acts as a sensor for cytosolic dsDNA of mitochondrial origin. Reducing the abundance of cytosolic dsDNA by overexpressing human DNase II ameliorates movement disorders and dopaminergic cell loss in gba mutant PD model zebrafish. Furthermore, IFI16 and cytosolic dsDNA puncta of mitochondrial origin accumulate in the brain of patients with PD. These results support a common causative role for the cytosolic leakage of mitochondrial DNA in PD pathogenesis.

BACKGROUND: Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is a severe and refractory intestinal motility disorder. However, due to its rarity and difficult histological investigation, its pathophysiology has not been characterized. AIM: Therefore, in this study, we aimed to determine the role of esophageal high-resolution manometry (HRM) in CIPO and the histological and clinical characteristics of the disease. METHODS: Patients with CIPO were analyzed for clinical characteristics; histological findings; and clinical courses after therapeutic intervention. In addition, HRM was performed to determine the esophageal involvement. RESULTS: Eleven patients were diagnosed with CIPO, and five required the long period of parenteral nutrition showing impaired esophageal motility including achalasia and absent contractility diagnosed with HRM. The four of these five cases showed acute onset of the CIPO following the triggering events of pregnancy, appendicitis, and surgery. In contrast, other six patients with normal or Jackhammer esophagus on HRM had moderate severity of CIPO with gradual onset. The histological analyses revealed that the loss of the intestinal neural ganglion cells and layers by inflammation, destruction, and atrophy are related to the severity of the clinical course of the disease and esophageal HRM findings of achalasia and absent contractility. CONCLUSIONS: HRM may be useful to diagnose the severity of the clinical course and to determine the therapeutic options for CIPO.

ATP13A2 is the autosomal recessive causative gene for juvenile-onset Parkinson's disease (PARK9, Parkinson's disease 9), also known as Kufor-Rakeb syndrome. The disease is characterized by levodopa-responsive Parkinsonism, supranuclear gaze palsy, spasticity, and dementia. Previously, we have reported that Atp13a2 deficient medaka fish showed dopaminergic neurodegeneration and lysosomal dysfunction, indicating that lysosome-autophagy impairment might be one of the key pathogeneses of Parkinson's disease. Here, we established Atp13a2 deficient zebrafish using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing. We found that the number of TH + neurons in the posterior tuberculum and the locus coeruleus significantly reduced (dopaminergic neurons, 64 % at 4 months and 37 % at 12 months, p < 0.001 and p < 0.05, respectively; norepinephrine neurons, 52 % at 4 months and 40 % at 12 months, p < 0.001 and p < 0.05, respectively) in Atp13a2 deficient zebrafish, proving the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons. In addition, we found the reduction (60 %, p < 0.05) of cathepsin D protein expression in Atp13a2 deficient zebrafish using immunoblot. Transmission electron microscopy analysis using middle diencephalon samples from Atp13a2 deficient zebrafish showed lysosome-like bodies with vesicle accumulation and fingerprint-like structures, suggesting lysosomal dysfunction. Furthermore, a significant reduction (p < 0.001) in protein expression annotated with vesicle fusion with Golgi apparatus in Atp13a2 deficient zebrafish by liquid-chromatography tandem mass spectrometry suggested intracellular trafficking impairment. Therefore, we concluded that Atp13a2 deficient zebrafish exhibited degeneration of dopaminergic neurons, lysosomal dysfunction and the possibility of intracellular trafficking impairment, which would be the key pathogenic mechanism underlying Parkinson's disease.

This study aimed to determine whether enteric neurons are involved in multiple system atrophy (MSA). Four-μm-thick slices of small intestine were prepared from 10%-formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded materials obtained from autopsied cases. Enteric neurons were stained using an anti-peripherin antibody. Immunostaining of phosphorylated α-synuclein was also performed. Areas of the cytoplasm and nucleus that showed nucleoli were measured using computer software. Both areas of myenteric neurons were significantly smaller in MSA cases (n = 3) than in control subjects (n = 3) (P < 0.0001); however, no deposits of phosphorylated α-synuclein were observed. These findings suggest that myenteric neurons in MSA are affected independent of α-synuclein accumulation.

Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that involves movement discloses, degeneration of dopaminergic neurons, and presence of cytoplasmic inclusion bodies. Various animal models have been developed and small fish including zebrafish and medaka fish have recently been employed as a new model for Parkinson disease. In this review, we summarize fish models of Parkinson's disease mainly using our own findings and explain two major hypotheses of PD: lysosome dysfunction theory and mitochondrial dysfunction theory. Finally, we discuss the potential for future application of small fish model.

A modified method of cerebrospinal fluid injection was developed for the efficient and reliable administration of substances to the zebrafish central nervous system. The accuracy of this modified method was evaluated using Alexa Fluor dye injection. A high survival ratio was achieved due to the simplicity of the procedure and ice-tricaine combined anaesthesia. To validate this new method, we injected ammonium chloride, which successfully blocked lysosome function resulting in elevated LC3-II and the accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins. Injection of human α-synuclein fibrils initiated a prion-like propagation of α-synuclein pathology in zebrafish. This method can be used to investigate the effects of various substances and the propagation of α-synuclein in the central nervous system.

Small teleost fish including zebrafish and medaka have been used as animal models in basic science research due to the relative ease of handling and transparency during embryogenesis. Current advances in genetic engineering and progress in disease genetics allowed utilization of these fish to study neurological diseases and psychiatric disorders. This review summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of using fish for neuropsychiatric research using primarily our own studies as examples. We discuss how fish belong to a class of vertebrates, are feasible for imaging, and include diverse species with multiple research possibilities yet to be discovered.

Small teleost fish including zebrafish and medaka have been used as animal models for research because of their small body size, vast amounts of eggs produced, their rapid development, low husbandry costs, and transparency during embryogenesis. Although the body size and appearance seem different, fish and mammals including human still possess anatomical and functional similarities in their brains. This review summarizes the similarities of brain structures and functions between teleost fish and mammalian brains, focusing on the dopamine system, functional regionalization of the cerebellum, and presence of the nucleus ruber.

The nervous system has the remarkable ability to adapt and respond to various stimuli. This neural adjustment is largely achieved through plasticity at the synaptic level. The Active Zone (AZ) is the region at the presynaptic membrane that mediates neurotransmitter release and is composed of a dense collection of scaffold proteins. AZs of Drosophila melanogaster (Drosophila) photoreceptors undergo molecular remodeling after prolonged exposure to natural ambient light. Thus the level of neuronal activity can rearrange the molecular composition of the AZ and contribute to the regulation of the functional output. Starting from the light exposure set-up preparation to the immunohistochemistry, this protocol details how to quantify the number, the spatial distribution, and the delocalization level of synaptic molecules at AZs in Drosophila photoreceptors. Using image analysis software, clusters of the GFP-fused AZ component Bruchpilot were identified for each R8 photoreceptor (R8) axon terminal. Detected Bruchpilot spots were automatically assigned to individual R8 axons. To calculate the distribution of spot frequency along the axon, we implemented a customized software plugin. Each axon's start-point and end-point were manually defined and the position of each Bruchpilot spot was projected onto the connecting line between start and end-point. Besides the number of Bruchpilot clusters, we also quantified the delocalization level of Bruchpilot-GFP within the clusters. These measurements reflect in detail the spatially resolved synaptic dynamics in a single neuron under different environmental conditions to stimuli.

In recent years, considerable effort has been devoted to the development of a fish model for Parkinson's disease (PD) to examine the pathological mechanisms of neurodegeneration. To effectively evaluate PD pathology, the ability to accurately and reliably count dopaminergic neurons is important. However, there is currently no such standardized method. Due to the relatively small number of dopaminergic neurons in fish, stereological estimation would not be suitable. In addition, serial sectioning requires proficiency to not lose any sections, and it permits double counting due to the large size of some of the dopaminergic neurons. In this study, we report an optimized protocol for staining dopaminergic neurons in zebrafish and provide a reliable counting method. Finally, using our optimized protocol, we confirmed that administration of 6-hydroxydopamine (a neurotoxin) or the deletion of the PINK1 gene (one of the causative genes of familiar PD) in zebrafish caused significant reduction in the number of dopaminergic and noradrenergic neurons. In summary, this method will serve as an important tool for the appropriate evaluation and establishment of fish PD models.

BACKGROUND: Members of the junctional adhesion molecule (JAM) family function as cell adhesion molecules and cell surface receptors. The zebrafish genome contains six different jam genes, and jam-b and jam-c were shown to be essential for myoblast fusion during skeletal muscle development. However, little is known about jam-b2 expression and function. RESULTS: We isolated the cDNA of zebrafish jam-b2. jam-b2 is expressed specifically in extraocular muscles (EOMs), jaw muscles, and pectoral fins in zebrafish larvae, but not in trunk muscles. The identified jam-b2 expression pattern is supported by the analysis of a zebrafish Gal4-enhancer trap line, in which the coding sequence of the transcriptional activator KalTA4 together with a Gal4-dependent UAS-mCherry expression cassette was inserted into the jam-b2 locus. Intercrosses with an UAS:EGFP strain proves the possibility for targeting transgene expression to EOMs, jaw muscles and fins. Finally, we characterized the concerted contraction pattern of EOMs in larvae performing an optokinetic response. CONCLUSIONS: The expression pattern of jam-b2 suggests that it may contribute different properties to EOMs, jaw muscles, and pectoral fins. The jam-b2:KalTA4-UAS-mCherry transgenic strain serves a dual role as both a reporter for these muscles and as a valuable genetic tool for targeting transgene expression to EOMs.

Homozygous mutations in the glucocerebrosidase (GBA) gene result in Gaucher disease (GD), the most common lysosomal storage disease. Recent genetic studies have revealed that GBA mutations confer a strong risk for sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD). To investigate how GBA mutations cause PD, we generated GBA nonsense mutant (GBA-/-) medaka that are completely deficient in glucocerebrosidase (GCase) activity. In contrast to the perinatal death in humans and mice lacking GCase activity, GBA-/- medaka survived for months, enabling analysis of the pathological progression. GBA-/- medaka displayed the pathological phenotypes resembling human neuronopathic GD including infiltration of Gaucher cell-like cells into the brains, progressive neuronal loss, and microgliosis. Detailed pathological findings represented lysosomal abnormalities in neurons and alpha-synuclein (α-syn) accumulation in axonal swellings containing autophagosomes. Unexpectedly, disruption of α-syn did not improve the life span, formation of axonal swellings, neuronal loss, or neuroinflammation in GBA-/- medaka. Taken together, the present study revealed GBA-/- medaka as a novel neuronopathic GD model, the pahological mechanisms of α-syn accumulation caused by GCase deficiency, and the minimal contribution of α-syn to the pathogenesis of neuronopathic GD.

The red nucleus is located in the rostral midbrain of the vertebrate brain and controls motor coordination during locomotion. It receives input from the cerebellum and sends its output to the spinal cord. The presence of the red nucleus is well established in tetrapods, and its existence has also been suggested in teleosts but its presence and position has still been under discussion. By using wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) as a genetically encoded anterograde tracer, we recently identified contralateral projections from the cerebellum to a putative red nucleus in the zebrafish midbrain tegmentum. In this report we further revealed red nucleus derived from this contralateral afferent from the cerebellum using WGA and contralateral projections to the hindbrain-spinal cord junction site using DiI-mediated retrograde tracing. Thus the structure that we have identified by anterograde and retrograde tracing fulfills the anatomical demands for the red nucleus: the location in the midbrain tegmentum, contralateral afferent from the cerebellum (cerebello-ruber projection) and contralateral efferent to the spinal cord (rubro-spinal projection).

There has been accumulating evidence for a regionalized organization of the cerebellum, which was mostly deduced from anatomical mapping of axonal projections of cerebellar afferents. A likewise regionalization of the cerebellar output has been suggested from lesion studies and dye-tracer experiments, but its physiological targets as well as the functional relevance of such an output regionalization are less clear. Ideally, such functional regionalization should be proven noninvasively in vivo. We here provide evidence for such a regionalization of the output from the cerebellar cortex by genetically encoded transneuronal mapping of efferent circuits of zebrafish Purkinje neurons. These identified circuits correspond to distinct regionalized Purkinje cell activity patterns in freely behaving zebrafish larvae during the performance of cerebellar-dependent behaviors. Furthermore, optogenetic interrogation of selected Purkinje cell regions during animal behavior confirms the functional regionalization of Purkinje cell efferents and reveals their contribution to behavior control as well as their function in controlling lateralized behavioral output. Our findings reveal how brain compartments serve to fulfill a multitude of functions by dedicating specialized efferent circuits to distinct behavioral tasks.

Teleost fish have recently been employed as a model for human neurodegenerative diseases. We used toxin exposure and genetic engineering to develop models of Parkinson's disease (PD) in the teleost fish, medaka. Among the toxins examined, 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), proteasome inhibitors, lysosome inhibitors, and tunicamycin all induced important features of PD in medaka. Specifically, these agents induced dopaminergic cell loss and reduced spontaneous movement, and the latter three toxins produced inclusion bodies that were ubiquitously distributed in the medaka brain. Despite the extensive distribution of these inclusion bodies, the middle diencephalic dopaminergic neurons were particularly susceptible to the effect of the toxins, suggesting that this cluster of dopaminergic neurons is analogous to the human substantia nigra. We have also created a variety of different genetic models using the Targeting Induced Local Lesions in Genomes (TILLING) method, and found that neither PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1) mutants nor Parkin mutants disclosed significant dopaminergic cell loss. Surprisingly however, PINK1 and Parkin double mutants exhibited selective dopamine cell loss, as well as aggregation and deficit of mitochondrial activity. Another mutant, the ATP13A2 mutant, also expressed a PD phenotype, exhibiting marked cathepsin D reduction and fingerprint-like structures that are generally found in lysosome storage diseases. Taken together, these data indicate that medaka fish can serve as a new animal model for PD. In this review, we summarize our data and discuss the potential for future application of this animal model.

OBJECTIVE: Loss of function mutations in PINK1 typically lead to early onset Parkinson disease (PD). Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are emerging as a powerful new vertebrate model to study neurodegenerative diseases. We used a pink1 mutant (pink(-/-) ) zebrafish line with a premature stop mutation (Y431*) in the PINK1 kinase domain to identify molecular mechanisms leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and loss of dopaminergic neurons in PINK1 deficiency. METHODS: The effect of PINK1 deficiency on the number of dopaminergic neurons, mitochondrial function, and morphology was assessed in both zebrafish embryos and adults. Genome-wide gene expression studies were undertaken to identify novel pathogenic mechanisms. Functional experiments were carried out to further investigate the effect of PINK1 deficiency on early neurodevelopmental mechanisms and microglial activation. RESULTS: PINK1 deficiency results in loss of dopaminergic neurons as well as early impairment of mitochondrial function and morphology in Danio rerio. Expression of TigarB, the zebrafish orthologue of the human, TP53-induced glycolysis and apoptosis regulator TIGAR, was markedly increased in pink(-/-) larvae. Antisense-mediated inactivation of TigarB gave rise to complete normalization of mitochondrial function, with resulting rescue of dopaminergic neurons in pink(-/-) larvae. There was also marked microglial activation in pink(-/-) larvae, but depletion of microglia failed to rescue the dopaminergic neuron loss, arguing against microglial activation being a key factor in the pathogenesis. INTERPRETATION: Pink1(-/-) zebrafish are the first vertebrate model of PINK1 deficiency with loss of dopaminergic neurons. Our study also identifies TIGAR as a promising novel target for disease-modifying therapy in PINK1-related PD.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by selective dopaminergic cell loss in the substantia nigra, but its pathogenesis remains unclear. The recessively inherited familial PD genes PARK2 and PARK6 have been attributed to mutations in the Parkin and PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) genes, respectively. Recent reports suggest that PINK1 works upstream of Parkin in the same pathway to regulate mitochondrial dynamics and/or conduct autophagic clearance of damaged mitochondria. This phenomenon is preserved from Drosophila to human cell lines but has not been demonstrated in a vertebrate animal model in vivo. Here, we developed a medaka fish (Oryzias latipes) model that is deficient in Pink1 and Parkin. We found that despite the lack of a conspicuous phenotype in single mutants for Pink1 or Parkin, medaka that are deficient in both genes developed phenotypes similar to that of human PD: late-onset locomotor dysfunction, a decrease in dopamine levels and a selective degeneration of dopaminergic neurons. Further analysis also revealed defects in mitochondrial enzymatic activity as well as cell death. Consistently, PINK1 and Parkin double-deficient MEF showed a further decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential and mitochondrial complex I activity as well as apoptosis compared with single-deficient MEF. Interestingly, these mitochondrial abnormalities in Parkin-deficient MEF were compensated by exogenous PINK1, but not by disease-related mutants. These results suggest that PINK1 and Parkin work in a complementary way to protect dopaminergic neurons by maintaining mitochondrial function in vertebrates.

Kufor-Rakeb syndrome (KRS) was originally described as an autosomal recessive form of early-onset parkinsonism with pyramidal degeneration and dementia. ATP13A2 was identified as the causative gene in KRS. ATP13A2 encodes the ATP13A2 protein, which is a lysosomal type5 P-type ATPase, and ATP13A2 mutations are linked to autosomal recessive familial parkinsonism. Here, we report that normal ATP13A2 localizes in the lysosome, whereas disease-associated variants remain in the endoplasmic reticulum. Cathepsin D activity was decreased in ATP13A2-knockdown cells that displayed lysosome-like bodies characterized by fingerprint-like structures. Furthermore, an atp13a2 mutation in medaka fish resulted in dopaminergic neuronal death, decreased cathepsin D activity, and fingerprint-like structures in the brain. Based on these results, lysosome abnormality is very likely to be the primary cause of KRS/PARK9.

The teleost fish has been widely used in creating neurodegenerative models. Here we describe the teleost medaka fish Parkinson's disease (PD) models we developed using toxin treatment and genetic engineering. 1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), proteasome inhibitors, lysosome inhibitors and tunicamycin treatment in our model fish replicated some salient features of PD: selective dopamine cell loss and reduced spontaneous movement with the last three toxins producing inclusion bodies ubiquitously in the brain. Despite the ubiquitous distribution of the inclusion bodies, the middle diencephalic dopaminergic neurons were particularly vulnerable to these toxins, supporting the idea that this dopamine cluster is similar to the human substantia nigra. PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1) homozygous mutants also showed reduced spontaneous swimming movements. These data indicate that medaka fish can serve as a new model animal of PD. In this review we summarize our previous data and discuss future prospects.

Perturbations in protein folding and degradation are key pathological mechanisms in neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease (PD). Recent evidence suggests that mishandling of proteins may play an important role in the pathogenesis of PD. We have utilized medaka fish to monitor the effects of injecting neurotoxins into the CSF space. In this study, ammonium chloride, tunicamycin, and lactacystin were tested for their ability to disturb lysosomal proteolysis, N-glycosylation in the endoplasmic reticulum, and proteasomal degradation, respectively. All of the substances tested induced selective loss of dopaminergic neurons, movement disorders and inclusion bodies. Among them, the features of the inclusion bodies that developed after ammonium chloride injection mimicked those of PD: co-localization of ubiquitin and phosphorylated alpha-synuclein, as well as the presence of LC3 protein in the inclusion bodies. Our study demonstrated that medaka fish are useful for examining the effects of environmental toxins and lysosome inhibition, and lysosome inhibitors may be factors in the development

P&gt;Recent findings suggest that a defect in the ubiquitin-proteasome system plays an important role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson&apos;s disease (PD). A previous report (McNaught et al. 2004) demonstrated that rats systemically injected with proteasome inhibitors exhibited PD-like clinical symptoms and pathology. However, because these findings have not been consistently replicated, this model is not commonly used to study PD. We used medaka fish to test the effect of systemic administration of proteasome inhibitors because of the high level of accessibility of the cerebrospinal fluid in fish. We injected lactacystin or epoxomicin into the CSF of medaka. With proteasome inhibition in the medaka brain, selective dopaminergic and noradrenergic cell loss was observed. Furthermore, treated fish exhibited reduced spontaneous movement. Treatment with proteasome inhibitors also induced the formation of inclusion bodies resembling Lewy bodies, which are characteristic of PD. Treatment with 6-OHDA also induced dopaminergic cell loss but did not produce inclusion bodies. These findings in medaka are consistent with previous results reporting that non-selective proteasome inhibition replicates the cardinal features of PD: locomotor dysfunction, selective dopaminergic cell loss, and inclusion body formation.

Parkinson&apos;s disease is a neurodegenerative disease associated with the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. The PTEN-induced kinase 1 gene (PINK1) is responsible for recessive inherited familial Parkinson&apos;s disease (PARK6). Neither the function of PINK1 nor its role in the prevention of Parkinson&apos;s disease is fully understood. Gene disruption of PINK1 causes remarkably different phenotypes in animal models such as Drosophila melanogaster, zebrafish, and mouse, none of which recapitulate Parkinson&apos;s-disease-like symptoms. We established PINK1-gene-disrupted medaka fish. These mutant fish grew normally at first, then developed significant decrease in the frequency of spontaneous swimming movements in the late-adult stage. Although the mutants did not show any dopaminergic cell loss, the amount of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, a major metabolite of dopamine. decreased. Thus, PINK1 contributes to the maintenance of dopamine metabolism, even before the selective death of dopaminergic neurons. Our animal model is therefore a valuable tool to detect pathogenesis in Parkinson&apos;s patients in the early stages. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ireland Ltd and the Japan Neuroscience Society.

Parkinson&apos;s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease associated with the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. To create a new model of PD, we used medaka (Oryzias latipes). a small teleost that has been used in genetics and environmental biology. We identified tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunopositive dopaminergic and noradrenergic fibers and neurons in the medaka brain. Following establishment of a method for counting the number of dopaminergic neurons and an assay for the evaluation of the medaka behavior. we exposed medaka to 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP). The treatment of medaka at the larval stage, but not at adult stage. decreased the number of dopaminergic cells in the diencephalon and reduced spontaneous movement, which is reminiscent of human PD patients and other MPTP-induced animal PD models. Among TH(+) neurons in the medaka brain, only a specific cluster in the paraventricular area of the middle diencephalon was vulnerable to MPTP toxicity. Detailed examinations of medaka transiently exposed to MPTP at the larval stage revealed that the number of dopaminergic cells was not fully recovered at their adult stage Moreover. the amounts of dopamine persistently decreased in the brain of these MPTP-treated fish MPTP-treated medaka is valuable for modeling human PD.

Objectives The pathophysiology of depression and anxiety in Parkinson's disease remains obscure. We aimed to compare the fractional anisotropy (FA) values of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with and without depression to investigate the nature of depression in PD. Methods Twenty-eight patients were divided into two groups: those with depression and those without. Diagnosis of depression was made using the DSM-IV criteria. Patients in the two groups were matched for Hoehn Yahr stage. Results There were significant reductions in FA values in the bilateral frontal ROIs possibly representing anterior cingulate bundles. Conclusions The anterior cingulate bundles play an important role in depression in PD, and some aspects of depression in PD have pathological processes in common with de novo depression.

Objective - Dementia occurs frequently in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the nature of the dementing process remains controversial. We evaluated various cognitive functions in patients with PD, compared fractional anisotropy (FA) values between PD patients with and without dementia.
Methods - Thirty-seven consecutive patients with Hoehn-Yahr stage III or IV PD participated in this study. Patients were divided into two groups: (i) PD with dementia group (PDD) and (ii) PD without dementia group (PDND). There were 11 PDD and 26 PDND cases. Ten controls were also studied.
Results - The PDD group showed significant FA reduction in the bilateral posterior cingulate bundles compared with PDND. FA values in the left posterior cingulate bundle showed significant correlations with many cognitive parameters.
Interpretation - Our results showed that the posterior cingulate areas play some important roles in the dementing process in PDD. However, as the pathological processes responsible for dementia in PD patients may be multifaceted, further studies are necessary.

Introduction - It is generally assumed that executive dysfunctions in Parkinson's disease (PD) are caused by degeneration of the basal ganglia or frontal cortex or both. However, there have been few studies investigating the relationship between executive dysfunctions and cerebral pathological change. The objective of this study was to evaluate various cognitive functions in non-demented patients with PD, and to compare the fractional anisotropy (FA) values of PD patients with and without executive dysfunction. Materials and Methods - Twenty-one consecutive non-demented patients with PD were enrolled in this study. Patients were divided into two groups on the basis of their Wisconsin Card Sorting Test score. Results - There was significant FA reduction in the left parietal white matter in the group in which the number of categories achieved was : 2 relative to the group that achieved &gt; 2. Conclusion - Accumulating evidence suggests that conventional 'frontal' tasks correlate with both frontal lobe and parietal lobe function, and we suggest that pathological changes in the left parietal lobe may cause, in part, disturbances in executive tasks in PD.

Background: Thrombosis involving a brain infarction frequently occurs in patients with a malignant tumor. Although nearly all types of tumor have been reported in association with a hypercoagulable state, pleural mesothelioma-associated Trousseau syndrome is extremely rare.
Summary: A 69-year-old female was admitted to our hospital with cough, sputum, and breathing difficulties. She was diagnosed as having a mesothelioma from a percutaneous pleural biopsy. Although there were no risk factors for atherosclerosis, brain infarctions showed frequent relapses, even under anticoagulant therapy, and there was a marked hypercoagulable state.
Conclusion: Attention should be paid to this syndrome when unexplained brain infarctions occur in patients with pleural mesothelioma.

Background: Nature of the dementing process in Parkinson's disease, and particularly its relationship with Alzheimer's disease, diffuse Lewy body disease or frontal dementia remains controversial.
Objective: We hypothesize that origins of dementia in Parkinson's disease are heterogeneous, so we compared cortical regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) between Parkinson's disease patients with and without dementia.
Patients: Forty consecutive patients with Hoehn-Yahr stage III or IV Parkinson's disease were used (13 patients had dementia (PDD group), and 27 patients had no dementia (PDND group)).
Results: There were significant rCBF reductions in the left parietal association cortex and left frontal association cortex in PDD. Multiple logistic regression analysis demonstrated that only rCBF of the left frontal association cortex was significant. PDD patients were divided into three groups according to rCBF patterns: frontal hypoperfusion group, Alzheimer's disease-like group, and diffuse Lewy body disease-like group.
Conclusions: Controversial study results involving PDD patients may be mainly due to heterogeneity in dementing processes in Parkinson's disease. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Objective We compared brain perfusion image using 3D-SSP analysis of I-123-IMP SPECT between Parkinson's disease patients with auditory verbal hallucination and those without auditory hallucination.
Methods Eighty-three cases with Parkinson's disease were studied. In 6 of these patients, auditory hallucination was noted. Among them, four cases had verbal hallucination and two other cases had elementary hallucination. Auditory hallucination was not found in the other 77 cases.
Results Right thalamic perfusion was significantly increased in the verbal hallucination group compared to the group that lacked auditory hallucination.
Conclusion In Parkinson's disease, the right thalamic hyperactive state may be related to verbal hallucination.

Objective: Auditory P300 has been reported to be abnormal in demented patients with Parkinson's disease. However, it is still controversial which factors in Parkinson's disease influence P300 parameters. Methods: Forty patients with Parkinson's disease were included. Patients were divided into two groups: patients with dementia (PDD) and without dementia (PDND). An `odd-ball' paradigm was used for auditory event-related potentials. Results: P300 latency was markedly delayed in PDD patients. Age and DRSI (attention) were the most important factors influencing P300 latency. Conclusions: Although there have been reports of P300 in the past, its abnormalities reflect the deficit of attention in Parkinson's disease. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

We examined patients with and without auditory hallucinations, using n-isopropyl-p-[I-123] iodoamphetarnine single photon emission computed tomographic imaging. We assessed verbal hallucinations in the present study: patients with nonverbal auditory hallucinations were excluded. A total of 11 patients with verbal and visual hallucinations and 17 patients with visual hallucinations only were enrolled. Patients with both verbal and visual hallucinations revealed significant hypoperfusion in the bilateral prefrontal cortex and right superior temporal gyrus compared to patients with visual hallucinations only. There were no significant hyperperfusion in patients with verbal plus visual hallucinations. These results may support the release hallucination theory in verbal hallucinations of Parkinson's disease, although another explanations may be more appropriate and further studies are required.

Little is known about the developing mechanisms of visual hallucinations in Parkinson's disease. This study aimed to investigate perfusion changes in parkinsonian patients with visual hallucinations using n-isopropyl-p-[I-123]iodoamphetamine ([I-123]IMP) single photon emission computed tomography imaging. A total of 70 consecutive patients, including 31 patients with visual hallucinations, and 39 patients without hallucinations, participated in this study. Patients with severe cognitive impairment (Mini-Mental State Examination score &lt; 20), nonvisual hallucinations, or confusion were excluded. We compared brain perfusion changes between the two groups. We found that hallucinatory patients had significant perfusion reductions in the bilateral inferior parietal lobule, inferior temporal gyrus, precuneus gyrus, and occipital cortex compared to nonhallucinatory patients. These results suggested that hypoperfusion of the visual pathway was closely related to visual hallucinations in Parkinson's disease. (C) 2006 Movement Disorder Society.

Depression is common in individuals with Parkinson's disease. However, the pathophysiology of depression in Parkinson's disease remains obscure. Here we compared brain perfusion images of Parkinson's disease patients with and without depression to investigate correlations between depression and brain perfusion images in Parkinson's disease. We divided 40 consecutive patients with Parkinson's disease into two groups: patients with minor depression (n = 22) and patients without depression (n = 18). We then compared brain perfusion images between the two groups. As a result, hypoperfusion of the left superior and inferior frontal gyrus was demonstrated in depressed patients. These results were partially in agreement with previous studies on de novo and parkinsonian major depression. We could not conclude on whether pathophysiological mechanisms differed between de novo depression and depression with Parkinson's disease, and between major and minor depressions.

Study Objectives: The underlying pathologic mechanism of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in Parkinson disease and the relative contributions of brain function to this process are poorly understood. We compared brain perfusion images between patients with Parkinson disease and EDS and those without EDS using n-isopropyl-p-123I iodoamphetamine single photon emission computed tomography. Design: Clinical study. Setting: Sumitomo Hospital. Patients: Thirteen patients with Parkinson disease with EDS (EDS group) and 27 patients with Parkinson disease without EDS (no-EDS group) were studied. Whether or not each case had EDS was determined according to the response to the Epworth Sleepiness Scale: patients with an Epworth Sleepiness Scale score &gt;= 10 were included in the EDS group, and patients with an Epworth Sleepiness Scale score :5 9 were included in the no-EDS group. Measurements and Results: There were significant hypoperfusions in the left parietal and temporal association cortex in the EDS group, In the multivariable logistic regression model, attention and decreased regional cerebral blood flow of the left parietal association cortex and right caudate and increased regional cerebral blood flow of the right thalamus were the independent and significant factors. Conclusions: The cortical hypofunction relative to hyperfunction of the brain stem may relate to EDS in Parkinson disease. This is the first imaging study about EDS in Parkinson disease, and further studies are required.

The objective was to compare brain perfusion image using 3-dimensional stereotactic surface projection analysis of N-isopropyl-p-I-123 iodoamphetamine single photon emission computed tomography between Parkinson's disease patients with a high frontal assessment battery score and those with a low frontal assessment battery score. Thirty nondemented patients with Parkinson's disease were studied. Patients were divided into 2 groups: a high-scoring group whose frontal assessment battery score was 12 or more and a low-scoring group whose frontal assessment battery score was 11 or less. The high-scoring group included 21 patients, and the low-scoring group included 9 patients. They underwent N-isopropyl-p-I-123 iodoamphetamine single photon emission computed tomography, and we analyzed the data by the 3-dimensional stereotactic surface projection method. Results showed that left inferior parietal lobule and left supramarginal gyrus perfusion of the low-scoring group were significantly decreased compared with the high-scoring group. It is concluded that-patients with Parkinson's disease may have frontal lobe dysfunction, but the decreased frontal assessment battery score may be caused not by progressed frontal lobe dysfunction but by parietal lobe dysfunction added to their preexisting frontal lobe impairment.

We described a 69-year-old woman with neurological manifestations due to mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD). The patient demonstrated subacute cognitive decline, seizure and gait disturbance with no connective tissue manifestation. She had been diagnosed with dementia at another hospital, later in our hospital, serological examinations disclosed high titers of anti-RNP antibody. Cognitive dysfunction in this patient was dramatically ameliorated by steroid therapy. Three months later, she developed edema of the hands, synovitis and acrosclerosis. The patient was finally diagnosed as having MCTD. We emphasized MCTD as a rare cause of "treatable dementia".

Background: Peripheral neuropathy with adult T-cell leukemia/ lymphoma (ATLL) has seldom been reported.
Review Summary: A 69-year-old woman with smoldering-type ATLL presented with pain and muscle weakness of the bilateral upper and lower limbs and gait disturbance. Anti-human T lymphotropic virus type I antibody was positive in the serum but negative in the cerebrospinal fluid. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed no abnormal signals in the spinal cord or brain. Nerve conduction Studies disclosed severe peripheral neuropathy. Sural nerve biopsy disclosed both axonal degeneration and demyelinated fibers, and marked perivascular inflammatory infiltrates mainly consisting of T lymphocytes without malignant changes were seen. Steroid therapy was markedly effective, and the patient became able to walk without assistance.
Conclusions: This is the first reported case of ATLL and peripheral neuropathy in which a nerve biopsy was performed. In our patient, the marked perivascular inflammatory infiltrates mainly consisting of T lymphocytes suggested either immune-mediated vasculitis or tumor invasion. Further studies are needed.

Pathophysiology of hallucinations in Parkinson's disease is poorly understood. This study investigated relationships between visual hallucinations and visual acuity. Twenty-six consecutive patients with Parkinson's disease participated in this study. Patients were divided into two groups: patients with visual hallucinations (VH group) and those without visual hallucinations (no-VH group). Unaided and corrected eyesight was evaluated in all patients, and if frequent use of prescription glasses or contact lenses was involved, eyesight using these lenses was also measured as the patient's own best eyesight. If a patient did not use prescription glasses or contact lenses, the patient's own best eyesight was defined as the unaided eyesight. Multivariate regression analysis demonstrated that agonist use and best eyesight were different after the backward elimination method. Visual hallucinations were closely related not to uncorrected eyesight or unaided eyesight but to the patient's best eyesight. It is suggested that impaired visual acuity is a risk factor for visual hallucinations.

Background: Few imaging studies investigated frontal dysfunctions in Parkinson's disease.
Objectives: We investigated relationships between Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) and brain perfusion in patients with non-demented Parkinson's disease.
Methods: Patients were divided into two groups according to WCST score: (1) CA (number of category achieved) &lt;= 2 or (2) CA &gt;= 3. We performed three-dimensional stereotactic surface projection and volume of interest analysis using I-123-IMp scintigraphy.
Results: Hypoperfusions of the bilateral posterior cingulate, rostrodorsal prefrontal, and left frontopolar cortices were shown in CA &lt;= 2 group, with the left cingulate and right rostrodorsal prefrontal cortices showing prominent hypoperfusion. CA and PE (perseverative errors) scores significantly correlated with perfusion of the left posterior cingulate cortex. PE score also correlated with perfusion of the right rostrodorsal prefrontal cortex.
Conclusion: Data indicated participations of various regions in task achievement. Careful interpretation of WCST scores is required. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Background: Although excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in Parkinson's disease (PD) has received a great deal of attention, the underlying pathological mechanism of its development and the relative contributions of brain function to this process are poorly understood.
Objective: To compare the fractional anisotropy (FA) values of PD patients with EDS and those without EDS, and to investigate the mechanism of EDS in this disease.
Methods: Eleven patients with PD with EDS, 26 patients with PD without EDS and 10 controls participated in this study. Patients with an ESS (Epworth Sleepiness Scale) score &gt;= 10 were defined as having EDS. The FA values of 5 regions of interest (ROI) including the fornix were compared between the three groups.
Results: There were significant reductions in FA values of the fornix fiber in patients with EDS. ESS scores had significant correlation with FA values of the fornix.
Conclusions: Our study is the first to find the fornix fiber degeneration in PD patients with EDS. These results indicate that fornix dysfunction may have some correlations with EDS in PD. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Objectives: To compare MIBG (metaiodobenzylguanidine) uptake between Parkinson's disease patients with and without autonomic symptoms to investigate meanings of MIBG scintigraphy and correlations between autonomic symptoms and MIBG uptake.
Methods: Forty consecutive patients with Hoehn-Yahr III or IV Parkinson's disease and 12 controls were enrolled. We compared cardiac MIBG uptake between patients with and without orthostatic hypotension. Similar comparisons were performed for constipation and bladder dysfunction.
Results: MIBG uptake did not significantly correlate with age, disease duration, Hoehn-Yahr stage, Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) motor score or levodopa equivalent daily doses. There were no significant correlations between orthostatic hypotension/constipation and cardiac MIBG uptake. Only bladder symptoms significantly correlated with MIBG uptake.
Conclusion: Meanings of MIBG uptake abnormalities in Parkinson's disease and relationship between MIBG uptake and clinical parameters remain to be resolved in future studies. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Gait disturbance is a cardinal symptom in patients with Parkinson's disease. Among the gait disturbances, freezing of gait is a unique and troublesome symptom, but its mechanism is unclear. We compared brain perfusion images using three-dimensional stereotactic surface projection analysis of N-isopropyl-p-(123)] iodoamphetamine single photon emission computed tomography between Parkinson's disease patients with freezing of gait and those without. Twenty-four cases (freezing of gait group) with Parkinson's disease with freezing of gait, and 31 Hoehn and Yahr stage-matched cases (no freezing of gait group) with Parkinson's disease without freezing of gait were studied. Bilateral Brodmann area I I perfusion of the freezing of gait group decreased significantly compared to that of the no freezing of gait group. The Brodmann area 11 may play important roles in gait, and impairment in this region may have a close relationship with freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease. (c) 2005 Movement Disorder Society.

Background Intellectual deterioration occurs in 10-40% of patients with Parkinson's disease. However, there are many conflicting studies on its relation with brain perfusion and the nature of this dementing process remains controversial.
Objective To compare cortical perfusion by SPECT using I-123-IMP between Parkinson's disease patients with dementia and those without dementia and to investigate the correlation between dementia in Parkinson's disease and brain perfusion in various areas.
Methods Fifty-two cases of Parkinson's disease and 10 control cases were studied. The Parkinson's disease with dementia group included 30 cases and the Parkinson's disease without dementia group included 22 cases. Results By multiple logistic regression method, we demonstrated significant hypoperfusion in the occipital cortex in Parkinson's disease with dementia.
Conclusions The cause of dementia in Parkinson's disease may vary. We demonstrated that occipital hypoperfusion was closely correlated to dementia in Parkinson's disease compared to frontal, parietal and temporal perfusion.

A 27-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with tetraparesis, dysesthesia and hypoesthesia of all regions below the breasts, urinary disturbance, and difficulty in breathing. Since age 21 idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) was diagnosed and steroid therapy was continued. At age 26, she had splenectomy for her ITP. On admission, steroid pulse therapy was administered with a tentative diagnosis of transverse myelitis. Symptoms gradually ameliorated. At age 29, she gradually lost her left vision, and multiple sclerosis was diagnosed and steroid therapy was administered, and her left vision gradually ameliorated. There are several reports describing other autoimmune disorders that arise after splenectomy. Since the spleen acts as a major pool of type 2 helper T cells, it is plausible that peripheral type 1 helper T cell activity may increase after splenectomy, promoting the development of autoimmune disorders. We considered there would be a close relation between splenectomy for ITP and multiple sclerosis in this case.

Background: The patterns of regional cerebral blood flow in Parkinson's disease and multiple system atrophy remain inconsistent.
Objectives: To compare brain perfusion images of I-123-IMP SPECT between Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy with predominant parkinsonian features (MSA-P) and controls.
Methods: Eighty-two patients with Parkinson's disease, 10 patients with MSA-P and 14 controls were studied. We performed 3D-SSP and volume of interest analysis using I-123-IMP scintigraphy.
Results: Occipital perfusion of MSA-P increased compared to that of Parkinson's disease and perfusion in the cerebellum and primary sensorimotor cortex of Parkinson's disease increased compared to that of MSA-P. Perfusion in the putamen of MSA-P decreased compared to that of Parkinson's disease.
Conclusion: Our study demonstrated perfusion differences in I-123-IMP SPECT between the two diseases. &COPY; 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Background: Decreased cardiac metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) uptake was reported in Parkinson's disease and this contributes to the differential diagnosis between Parkinson's disease and other forms of parkinsonism such as multiple system atrophy. However, decreased MIBG uptake of the thyroid has not been demonstrated. Objective: To compare MIBG uptake of the thyroid among Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy and controls. Methods: Twenty-six patients with Parkinson's disease, 11 patients with multiple system atrophy and 14 controls were examined in this study. Planar images were taken 15 minutes (early images) and 3 hours (late images) after intravenous injection of 111 MBq 123 I-MIBG. Results: MIBG uptake of the thyroid on early images decreased significantly in Parkinson's disease compared to controls (p &lt; 0.0001) and multiple system atrophy (p = 0.018). MIBG uptake of the thyroid on early images decreased significantly also in multiple system atrophy compared to controls (p = 0.027). On late images, thyroid uptake differed significantly only between Parkinson's disease and controls (p = 0.010). Conclusions: Our study is the first to demonstrate decreased MIBG uptake of the thyroid in Parkinson's disease. Sympathetic nervous denervation of Parkinson's disease occurred not only in the heart but also in the thyroid.

We compared MIBG uptake at various parts of the body in controls and patients with Parkinson's disease and multiple system atrophy. In the heart, MIBG uptake in Parkinson's disease (early H/N4: 1.668 0.325, late HIM: 1.500 &PLUSMN; 0.402) was less than that in multiple system atrophy (early H/M: 2.395 &PLUSMN; 0.186, late H/M: 2.530 &PLUSMN; 0.391) and controls (early H/M: 2.635 &PLUSMN; 0.508, late H/M: 2.575 &PLUSMN; 0.635) (early: P &LT; 0.0001, late: P &LT; 0.0001). There were no significant differences in uptake by the lung, thyroid, or liver in the three groups. Only on early images, uptake in the shoulder in multiple system atrophy (early S/M: 0.473 &PLUSMN; 0.78) and Parkinson's disease (early S/M: 0.470 &PLUSMN; 0.710) was decreased compared to that in controls (early SIM: 0.560 &PLUSMN; 0.118) (P = 0.0252). MIBG is reported to be taken up in the terminal part of sympathetic nerves and demonstrates sympathetic nerve activity, especially on late images. The cause of differences between the heart and other parts of the body remains unknown. We consider the following possibilities: (a) differences in the sympathetic nervous system between Parkinson's disease and multiple system atrophy are more subtle in organs other than the heart; (b) the cause of MIBG uptake reduction by the heart in Parkinson's disease involves factors in addition to sympathetic nervous system damage; and (c) MIBG uptake by organs other than the heart involves not only the sympathetic nervous system but also non-neuronal components. In conclusion, MIBG uptake by organs other than the heart cannot differentiate Parkinson's disease from multiple system atrophy at present. &COPY; 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Objective: The pathophysiology of hallucinations in Parkinson disease is poorly understood. This study investigated the relation between visual hallucination and visual evoked potentials (VEPs) in Parkinson disease.
Methods: Nineteen patients with Parkinson disease were studied. The authors divided patients into 2 groups: patients with visual hallucinations (VH group) and those without visual hallucinations (no-VH group). VEPs using a checkerboard stimulus were recorded under a drug-five state.
Results: On multivariate regression analysis, only the average P100 latency was selected and remained significant after the backward elimination method.
Conclusion: The authors demonstrated a close association between visual hallucinations and elongated VEP latency in Parkinson disease. VEPs may become one of the predictors for visual hallucination.

POEMS syndrome is a syndrome that presents with polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, M-proteins and skin changes. Elevated vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has recently been reported in POEMS syndrome. We report a case of POEMS syndrome with high VEGF titers. Steroid, plasmapheresis and intravenous gamma-globulin had little effect. Various immunosuppressive agents were discontinued due to side effects. Although administration of aspirin did not decrease VEGF, ticlopidine decreased VEGF significantly. This case suggests that ticlopidine is a candidate for supportive therapy in POEMS syndrome and we should measure VEGF before and after the administration of ticlopidine in other cases.

We report two cases of Parkinson's disease in which visual hallucinations disappeared after cataract surgery. Patient 1 was a 72-year-old woman with Parkinson's disease, visual hallucinations and musical hallucinations. Patient 2 was a 77-year-old woman with Parkinson's disease and visual hallucinations. Both patients had severe bilateral cataracts. Though it was difficult to control their visual hallucinations with medication only, cataract surgery made them disappeared quickly. The visual hallucinations of Parkinson's disease are similar to those of Charles Bonnet syndrome. For example, both hallucinations often happen in dim light, at night and when patients are awake with eyes open. Though there have been many reports describing visual hallucinations in Parkinson's disease, there have been few reports discussing the relation between these hallucinations and impaired visual acuity. Similar to the hallucinations of Charles Bonnet syndrome, impaired visual acuity should be related to the visual hallucinations of Parkinson's disease. When Parkinson's disease, visual hallucinations and severe cataract coexist, visual hallucinations may disappear after cataract surgery.

シナプス後膜に存在するAMPA型グルタミン酸受容体(AMPA-R)を特異的に可視化することにより、シナプスの可塑的かつ動的な変化について検討した。シナプスの可塑的な変化を半定量的に可視化するために、Postsynaptic densityprotein 95(PSD95)とAMPA-Rの間接的な相互作用を利用した。ラット神経初代培養細胞において、様々な切断部位によるsplit VenusをGluA1およびPSD95に付加し、Venus再構築シグナルを経時的に比較した。ある特定のVenus切断断片を利用する場合でのみ、chemical LTP(Long-term potentiation)やchemical LTD(Long-term depression)を鋭敏に反映することが可能であった。このVenus再構築は、GluA1のCTDあるいはPSD95のPDZドメインを欠損させた場合、著明に阻害された。TARP γ-8のdelta4変異体では、複合体形成が阻害されるが、この場合もVenus再構築のシグナルは減少した。

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. It is associated with the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta and other areas of the brain. The pathology of PD is characterized by the accumulation of a cytoplasmic fibrillar structure, wherein α-synuclein is the major component. Most occurrences of PD were believed to be sporadic and associated with aging and environmental stress. However, there is now strong evidence for genetic inheritance in a small number of families. Although the pathological mechanisms of PD are still largely unknown, we present the major hypotheses and discuss the future directions of studies in this area.

家族性(遺伝性)パーキンソン病(PD)では次々と原因遺伝子が同定されているが、本稿ではPINK1,DJ-1,LRRK2について概説する。PINK1,DJ-1はミトコンドリア機能に関与し、アポトーシスや各種ストレスに保護的に機能をもつ。変異体ではその生理的機能が失われ、ミトコンドリア機能喪失に伴うPD発症が考えられる。LRRK2の疾患関連の変異体ではキナーゼ活性の上昇や細胞毒性が観察されgain of functionによる発症が考えられる。PINK1,DJ-1はミトコンドリア機能障害仮説を支持するという点で、LRRK2変異は家族性および孤発性PDにおいて頻度が高いという点で特に興味深く、今後の研究が待たれる。(著者抄録)

L-dopa増量に伴いパニック発作を引き起こしたパーキンソン病の2症例を報告した.症例1(72歳女性)では増量に伴い,on相とoff相におけるL-dopa血中濃度の差が大きくなり,off相の時に発作が起きたことが血中濃度測定により判明した.一方,症例2(71歳女性)ではジスキネジアを伴うことやL-dopaの内服時間との関連より,L-dopaの増量によりon相におけるL-dopa血中濃度がさらに増加しon相に発作が起きたと考えられた.両症例ともL-dopaを減量することによりパニック発作は速やかに消失した.パーキンソン病に伴って起こるパニック発作では日内変動との相関を把握することが重要であるが,それが困難な場合には血中濃度の測定やL-dopa増量・減量が役立つと示唆された

70歳女.10年ほど前より,被害妄想や感情の平板化或いは徘徊などの症状が出現した.精神分裂病との診断のもと抗精神病薬を処方されていた.昏睡状態及び40℃の高熱により搬送入院した.昏睡状態,高熱及び著明な高血清クレアチンキナーゼ(CK)血症を認め,向精神薬服用中であることから悪性症候群と診断された.ダントロレンやブロモクリプチンの投与及び大量輸液を行ったところ,全身状態の改善及び血清CK値の減少が認められた.しかし,昏睡状態が遷延していたため頭部MRIを施行し,両側小脳・後頭葉,左視床など広範囲にT2強調像及び拡散強調像にて高信号に描出される病変が認められた.その後,意識レベルは徐々に改善し,筋緊張も派常化したが,徐々に精神運動興奮状態が悪化した.悪性症候群のリスクは高いと思われたがハロペリドールを少量より開始,増量した.投与後より,精神運動興奮状態は改善し,それに伴い全身状態も改善した
