Ambroxol reverses tau and α-synuclein accumulation in a cholinergic N370S GBA1 mutation model

Shi Yu Yang et al.

Summary: Cognitive impairment is a common complication of Parkinson's disease, and GBA1 gene variants are an important risk factor for PD and dementia with Lewy bodies. This study found that GBA1 mutations interfere with the metabolism of alpha-synuclein and tau proteins, leading to higher levels of these proteins in cholinergic neurons. Enhancing GCase activity can reduce the levels of these proteins, providing a potential therapeutic target for neurodegenerative disorders associated with pathological accumulation of alpha-synuclein or tau proteins.

Plasma Glucosylsphingosine in GBA1 Mutation Carriers with and without Parkinson's Disease

Matthew Surface et al.

Summary: This study found significantly higher levels of plasma glucosylsphingosine in GBA1 N370S carriers, independent of disease status. This opens up the potential for future assessment of glucosylsphingosine as a clinically meaningful biomarker of GBA1-PD.

Summary: This study investigated the association between GCase activity, PD phenotype, and prodromal PD probability in carriers of GBA gene mutations, finding that low GCase activity does not explain the clinical phenotype or risk for prodromal PD in this cohort.

GBA Variants and Parkinson Disease: Mechanisms and Treatments

Laura Smith et al.

Summary: Mutations in the GBA gene are the most important genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD), leading to protein metabolism abnormalities, lysosomal dysfunction, and lipid metabolism disorders. These mutations can trigger neurodegenerative processes through various mechanisms, including the accumulation of alpha-synuclein, endoplasmic reticulum stress responses, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Understanding these mechanisms can facilitate the development of targeted therapies for GBA-related PD.

Ambroxol increases glucocerebrosidase (GCase) activity and restores GCase translocation in primary patient-derived macrophages in Gaucher disease and Parkinsonism

A. E. Kopytova et al.

Summary: Treatment with ambroxol significantly increased GCase activity and reduced HexSph concentration in GD and GBA-PD patients, as well as promoted GCase translocation to lysosomes. GD macrophage treatment demonstrated increased GCase levels and colocalization with the lysosomal marker LAMP2. Molecular docking and dynamics simulations revealed potential binding modes of ambroxol to mutant GCase, showing promising therapeutic potential for GD and GBA-PD patients.

Challenges in the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease

Eduardo Tolosa et al.

Summary: Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, with efforts being made to accurately diagnose and characterize it, including validation of diagnostic criteria and identification of genetic subtypes. Progress in diagnostic biomarkers has opened up possibilities for earlier identification, recognition of diverse subtypes, and development of novel treatments.
