Toll-like receptors and NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent pathways in Parkinson's disease: mechanisms and therapeutic implications

Luca Soraci et al.

Summary: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor and non-motor disturbances, which are thought to be caused by neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and the presence of alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn) aggregates. Aging of the immune system and immune dysfunction may contribute to neuroinflammation leading to PD onset and progression, with abnormal alpha-syn aggregation activating the NLRP3 inflammasome within microglial cells through toll-like receptors (TLRs). This review focuses on the TLR/NLRP3/Cas-1 pathway in PD-related immune dysfunction and explores potential therapeutic options for counteracting neuroinflammation and immune dysfunction since the early stages of the disease.

Parkinsonism and tremor syndromes

Steven Bellows et al.

Summary: Tremor is a common movement disorder that can occur alone or coexist with other neurological and movement disorders. It can be a symptom of Parkinson's disease, dystonia, ataxia, and other disorders. Essential tremor may not only be associated with Parkinson's disease but also with other neurological disorders, suggesting the existence of different subtypes. Besides Parkinson's disease, tremor can also be a prominent feature in other parkinsonian disorders and movement disorders.

Summary: This review summarizes the recent advances in the research on inflammatory biomarkers for Parkinson's disease (PD) detection, as well as monitoring disease progression and treatment response. Neuroinflammation plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis and pathological processes of PD, and various anti-inflammatory medications have demonstrated neuroprotective effects in in vivo or in vitro PD models.

A Novel Treatment Strategy by Natural Products in NLRP3 Inflammasome-Mediated Neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease

Jun Ho Lee et al.

Summary: Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, the most common neurodegenerative diseases, are associated with the release of NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated proinflammatory cytokines by the excessive activation of microglia. Although studies suggest that the NLRP3 inflammasome plays an important role in disease development, its exact function and regulation are still unclear. Studies on natural products show promise as a potential strategy for treating these diseases by regulating NLRP3 inflammasome assembly.

Neurodegenerative Disease and the NLRP3 Inflammasome

Jonathan A. Holbrook et al.

Summary: The prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases is increasing, characterized by progressive neuronal loss, protein aggregation, metabolic abnormalities, and immune dysregulation. Research has shown that low-grade systemic inflammation may impact the development and progression of these diseases, and inflammation may also be a causative factor.

Targeting Microglial α-Synuclein/TLRs/NF-kappaB/NLRP3 Inflammasome Axis in Parkinson's Disease

Yunna Li et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that the excessive activation of microglia and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines play crucial roles in the pathogenesis and progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). The elevated level of NLRP3 inflammasome in activated microglia in the substantia nigra of PD patients exacerbates the pathology and accelerates disease progression. Current therapeutic drugs for PD primarily focus on relieving clinical symptoms, as there are no established strategies to stop or reverse the disease.

Summary: Parkinson's disease is a complex neurodegenerative disease caused by the progressive impairment of midbrain nigral dopaminergic neurons. The underlying pathogenesis of PD remains unclear, making the development of disease-modifying drugs challenging. Herbal medicines, particularly from China and India, have gained attention due to their potential curative effects on PD.
