Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by selective damage to dopaminergic nigrostriatal neurons and is clinically revealed by motor deficits, including rigidity, tremor, and bradykinesia. Dopamine replacement therapy (usually with L-dopa) is the most common treatment, although this drug loses efficacy over time. PubMed:19126755
In the basal ganglia, including the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and substantia nigra, the alpha6 and possibly the beta3 nAChR subunits are included in alpha4beta2 nAChR complexes to generate highaffinity receptors. At present, this is the only brain area identified where alpha6 and beta3 are coexpressed with alpha4 and beta2 nAChR subunits. This finding is highly relevant for Parkinson’s disease (385, 386).

Further highlighting the importance of the cholinergic system in the CNS, cholinergic neuronal loss, especially in the basal forebrain, occurs not only in AD, but also in Parkinson’s disease [190, 191], Down syndrome [192], amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [193, 194], progressive supranuclear palsy [195, 196], and olivopontocerebellar atrophy [197] PubMed:26813123
M4 mAChR is also involved in the pathology of Parkinson’s disease, which is associated with the loss of dopaminergic neurons projecting to the striatum and an imbalance between cholinergic and dopaminergic systems. In the corpus striatum, M4 mAChR is closely co-localized with dopamine receptors on striatal-projecting neurons and the striatal M4 mAChR inhibits dopamine D1 receptor function. Mice lacking M4 mAChR show increased locomotor activity and enhanced dopamine D1 receptor-mediated effects[55]. Consequently, selective M4 mAChR antagonists, such as benzoxazines, have been developed for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease PubMed:24590577

Notably, this accumulation of iron was observed in the brain regions with reduced soluble tau levels, such as the cortex in AD, the substantia nigra in PD and various brain regions in several other tauopathies PubMed:26631930
PD is a proteinopathy characterized by the misfolding and aggregation of α‐synuclein synucleinopathy, which leads to the destruction of dopaminergic neurons within substantia nigra pars compacta. PubMed:30663117
However, this is part of the role that miR‐132 plays in the regulation of PD. PubMed:30663117
miR‐16‐1 is a case in point that has been seen in some patients with PD.It has been shown to decrease the expression of Hsp70 by increasing the aggregation of the α‐synuclein protein PubMed:30663117
One of the most important proteins involved in PD is the LRRK2 protein PubMed:30663117
It has also been shown that miR‐205 can regulate LRRK2 and that PD is associated with a significant reduction in the level of miR‐205 in the frontal cortex and striatum PubMed:30663117
It has been shown that DJ‐1 protein levels in patients with PD are significantly lower compared with the healthy subjects PubMed:30663117
It has also been shown that miR‐494 in patients with PD increases significantly in comparison with healthy subjects. PubMed:30663117
In addition, miR‐34‐b and miR‐34‐c have been shown to experience a significant reduction in patients with Parkinson’s compared with controls, and this reduction is accompanied by a decrease in the expression of DJ‐1 protein PubMed:30663117
In addition, miR‐34‐b and miR‐34‐c have been shown to experience a significant reduction in patients with Parkinson’s compared with controls, and this reduction is accompanied by a decrease in the expression of DJ‐1 protein PubMed:30663117
