Neurotrophins as Therapeutic Agents for Parkinson’s Disease; New Chances From Focused Ultrasound?

Abstract: Magnetic Resonance–guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) represents an effective micro-lesioning approach to target pharmaco-resistant tremor, mostly in patients afflicted by essential tremor (ET) and/or Parkinson’s disease (PD). So far, experimental protocols are verifying the clinical extension to other facets of the movement disorder galaxy (i.e., internal pallidus for disabling dyskinesias). Aside from those neurosurgical options, one of the most intriguing opportunities of this technique relies on its capabi… Show more

“…Finally, EEG-based band-specific connectivity analysis could be more useful than fMRI in identifying innovative targets for transcranial electrical and magnetic neuromodulation or focused ultrasound techniques (Stefani et al, 2022), which are increasingly showing value as symptomatic or also disease-modifying therapies in other neurodegenerative neurological diseases (Koch et al, 2022).…”

“…Therefore, the evaluation of the effects of using adeno-associated viral vectors carrying the BDNF or GDNF gene in various CNS pathologies is highly relevant. There are a number of papers devoted to the protective effect of these vectors in various neurodegenerative diseases, such as retinal neurodegeneration, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and others [ 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 ]. However, studies on the possibility of using genetic engineering approaches that induce overexpression of neurotrophic factors to correct ischemic damage have just begun to emerge.…”

“…Noninvasiveness; temporally opens the BBB; enhances drug delivery to the brain Requires a large amount of energy; need more clinical trial [38,41] Peptide-based technology Good BBB permeability; low antigenicity; easy to synthesize Potentially degraded by exo-and endo-peptidase; too rapid clearance [42,43] Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors Nonpathogenic; good BBB permeability; efficient entry genetic material to target cell Small loading capacity of therapeutic materials; limited transgene carrying capacity [40,44] the diagnosis and treatment of PD. The transferrin, insulin, and other selective transport of larger endogenous molecules are usually delivered by the RMT route.…”
