Abstract

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic progressive disease that affects the central nervous system with a variety of symptoms. Although the precise etiology of PD is not yet fully understood, there is evidence to suggest that T cells serve an important role in the pathogenesis of PD. However, how T cells are recruited in the brain tissue remains to be elucidated. The present study utilized human samples from patients with and without PD to investigate the infiltration of T cells in lesions in the central nervous system. A chemically‑induced mouse PD model was also used to investigate the roles of T cells in the pathogenesis of PD. Depletion of CD4+ or CD8+ T cells was achieved using neutralizing antibodies. Adhesion molecule levels were assessed by flow cytometry. The results of the study indicated that T cell infiltration was evident in both human and murine samples of PD. Blocking CD4+ or CD8+ T cells attenuated the severity of murine PD. Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1 or CD54) was upregulated in mouse PD compared with controls, and its receptor, lymphocyte function‑associated antigen‑1 (LFA1) was overexpressed in T cells of the brain in PD mice compared with controls. Furthermore, inhibition of ICAM1 or LFA1 attenuated PD‑associated characteristics in mice. In conclusion, the interaction between ICAM1 and LFA1 plays a role in recruiting T cells to the central nervous system to mediate experimental PD.
