Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, depleted in the Parkinson’s disease microbiome, improves motor deficits in α-synuclein overexpressing mice
Treatment with an 8-member consortium of bacteria depleted in PD patients, or the single member F. prausnitzii, improves motor and GI function and reduces αSyn aggregates in the brain of a mouse model of PD.
Motor behavior, GI behavior, protein, and volatile fatty acid assay data and analysis code associated with Moiseyenko et al. 2025
Code and data used for the statistical analysis of motor behavior and gut physiology tests, and downstream protein assays from Moiseyenko et al. (2025)
RNAseq data associated with Moiseyenko et al. 2025
BAM files for RNA sequencing of large intestine of wild-type, Thy1-ASO, and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii-treated Thy1-ASO mice from Moiseyenko et al. (2025)
Data and code for shotgun metagenomics associated with Moiseyenko et al. 2025
Data and scripts to retrieve and analyze shotgun metagenomic data of wild-type, Thy1-ASO, and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii-treated Thy1-ASO mice from Moiseyenko et al. (2025)
Integrated multi-cohort analysis of the Parkinson’s disease gut metagenome
The authors perform metagenomic sequencing of multiple geographically-disparate cohorts and find that stereotypic changes in the functional metabolic potential of the gut microbiome are a consistent feature of PD.
A prebiotic diet modulates microglial states and motor deficits in α-synuclein overexpressing mice
What should Parkinson's Disease patients eat? This study shows that dietary fiber impacts gut microbes and immune cells in the brain of a mouse model of Parkinson's.
A prebiotic diet modulates microglia response and motor deficits in α-synuclein overexpressing mice
Single-cell RNA-seq analysis of microglia from the substantia nigra and striatum uncovers increased pro-inflammatory signaling and reduced homeostatic responses in ASO mice compared to wild-type counterparts on standard diets. However, prebiotic…
Subcellular and regional localization of mRNA translation in midbrain dopamine neurons
Using, highly sensitive ribosome-bound RNA sequencing and imaging to characterize the translatome, the authors uncovered local mRNA translation of dopamine synthesis, release, and reuptake machinery in dendrites, but not axons.
