Chronic DSS-Induced Colitis Exacerbates Parkinson's Disease Phenotype and Its Pathological Features Following Intragastric Rotenone Exposure

Original language description

Background: Parkinson&apos;s disease (PD) is intricately linked to gastrointestinal inflammation and the presence of neurotoxins in the gut, integrating alpha-syn pathologic alterations and subsequent neurodegeneration into the brain. Objectives: This study aimed to explore the enduring impact of dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-mediated colitis on the vulnerability of central dopaminergic neurons to subsequent rotenone exposure. Methods: To induce chronic colitis, 10-month-old C57BL/6 mice were pre-exposed to 3 cycles of 1 week of 1% (w/v) DSS administration in drinking water followed by 2 weeks of regular drinking water. After colitis induction, animals received a low dose of intragastric rotenone for the next 8 weeks, followed by testing for Parkinsonian behavior and GI phenotypes of inflammation. At the end of the 17th week, colon, brain stem, and midbrain tissue were isolated and analyzed for alpha-syn, inflammatory markers, and dopaminergic neuronal loss. Gut microbial composition was assessed by 16S rRNA sequencing analysis. Results: We found that chronic rotenone administration in the presence of preexisting colitis led to a further increase in colonic pro-inflammatory mediator expressions, alpha-syn expression, and reduced colonic tight junction protein expressions. We also found early impairment of GI functions and worsened grip strength in rotenone-exposed colitic mice. Furthermore, alpha-syn pathology specific to the colitic mice exposed to rotenone showed dopaminergic neurons degeneration and astroglial activation in substantia nigra and striatum, including regions of the brain stem, i.e., dorsal motor of the vagus and locus coeruleus. Finally, the result of 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis indicated that colitic mice, after being exposed to rotenone, exhibited a discernible trend in their microbiota composition (Catenibacterium, Turicibactor, and clostridium sensue stricto 1), linking it to the development of PD. Conclusions: These findings indicate that prolonged low-dose rotenone exposure, combined with an early inflammatory intestinal milieu, provides a preconditioning effect on alpha-syn pathology and exerts neurodegeneration in the intragastric rotenone PD mouse model.
