Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the gradual loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc), abnormal accumulation of α-synuclein (α-syn), and activation of microglia leading to neuroinflammation. Disturbances in circadian rhythm play a significant role in PD, with most non-motor symptoms associated with disruptions in circadian rhythm. These disturbances can be observed years before motor symptoms appear and are marked by the emergence of non-motor symptoms related to PD, such as rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD), restless leg syndrome (RLS), excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), depression and anxiety, changes in blood pressure, gastrointestinal dysfunction, and urinary problems. Circadian rhythm disruption precedes the onset of motor symptoms and contributes to the progression of PD. In brief, this article outlines the role of circadian rhythm disruption in triggering PD at cellular and molecular levels, as well as its clinical manifestations. It also explores how circadian rhythm research can contribute to preventing the onset and progression of PD from current and future perspectives.

[PMID: 38131751 PMCID: PMC10742818 DOI: 10.3390/clockssleep5040052] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2023] [Revised: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of circadian lighting-induced melatonin suppression on patients with psychiatric and neurological disorders in hospital wards by using an ad-hoc metrology framework and the subsequent metrics formalized by the CIE in 2018. A measurement scheme was conducted in hospital ward rooms in the Department of Neurology, Zealand University Hospital, at Roskilde in Denmark, to evaluate the photometric and colorimetric characteristics of the lighting system, as well as its influence on the circadian rhythm of the occupants. The measurement scheme included point measurements and data logging, using a spectrophotometer mounted on a tripod with adjustable height to assess the newly installed circadian lighting system. The measured spectra were uploaded to the Luox platform to calculate illuminance, CCT, MEDI, etc., in accordance with the CIE S026 standard. Furthermore, the MLIT based on MEDI data logging results was calculated. In addition to CIE S026, we have investigated the usefulness of melatonin suppression models for the assessment of circadian performance regarding measured light. From the results, the lighting conditions in the patient room for both minimal and abundant daylight access were evaluated and compared; we found that access to daylight is essential for both illumination and circadian entrainment. It can be concluded that the measurement scheme, together with the use of the Luox platform and Canva template, is suitable for the accurate and satisfactory measurement of integrative lighting that aligns with CIE requirements and recommendations.

Abstract
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) impairment plays a crucial role in the pathological processes of aging-accompanied neurological diseases (AAND). Meanwhile, circadian rhythms disruption and gut microbiota dysbiosis are associated with increased morbidity of neurological diseases in the accelerated aging population. Importantly, circadian rhythms disruption and gut microbiota dysbiosis are also known to induce the generation of toxic metabolites and pro-inflammatory cytokines, resulting in disruption of BBB integrity. Collectively, this provides a new perspective for exploring the relationship among circadian rhythms, gut microbes, and the BBB in aging-accompanied neurological diseases. In this review, we focus on recent advances in the interplay between circadian rhythm disturbances and gut microbiota dysbiosis, and their potential roles in the BBB disruption that occurs in AAND. Based on existing literature, we discuss and propose potential mechanisms underlying BBB damage induced by dysregulated circadian rhythms and gut microbiota, which would serve as the basis for developing potential interventions to protect the BBB in the aging population through targeting the BBB by exploiting its links with gut microbiota and circadian rhythms for treating AAND.

Abstract
The circadian clock is an autonomous timing system that regulates the physiological and behavioral activities of organisms. Dopamine (DA) is an important neurotransmitter that is associated with many biological activities such as mood and movement. Experimental studies have shown that the circadian clock influences the DA system and disorders in the circadian clock lead to DA-related diseases. However, the regulatory mechanism of the circadian clock on DA is far from clear. In this paper, we apply an existing circadian-dopamine mathematical model to explore the effects of the circadian clock on DA. Based on numerical simulations, we find the disturbance of the circadian clock, including clock gene mutations, jet lag and light pulses, leads to abnormal DA levels. The effects of mutations in some clock genes on the mood and behavior of mice are closely related to DA disruptions. By sensitivity analysis of DA levels to parameter perturbation, we identify key reactions that affect DA levels, which provides insights into modulating DA disorders. Sudden changes in external light influence the circadian clock, bringing about effects on the DA system. Jet lag causes transient DA rhythm desynchronization with the environment and the influence of jet lag in different directions on DA level and phase varies. Light pulses affect the amplitude and phase shift of DA, which provides a promising method for treating DA disorders through light exposure. This study helps to better understand the impact of the circadian clock on the DA system and provides theoretical support for the treatment of DA disorders.
