RESUMEN
Hand surgery patients often experience chronic pain conditions. However, there are few reliable ways to measure pain, making diagnosis and subsequent management of these conditions notably challenging for the hand surgeon. Various diagnostic biomarkers have been actively studied in the chronic pain management field with promising results. This review discusses the development of diagnostic biomarkers for chronic pain conditions of the upper extremity, including complex regional pain syndrome, osteoarthritis, and neuropathic pain. Techniques involving the measurements of heart rate variability, molecular biomarkers including inflammatory and noninflammatory molecules, metabolites, and exosomes, magnetic resonance imagining and electroencephalography, as well as skin biopsy, are discussed. Future potential applications are proposed.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: Timely and accurate triage of upper extremity injuries is critical, but current perfusion monitoring technologies have shortcomings. These limitations are especially pronounced in patients with darker skin tones. This pilot study evaluates a Eulerian Video Magnification (EVM) algorithm combined with color channel waveform extraction to enable video-based measurement of hand and finger perfusion. METHODS: Videos of 10 volunteer study participants with Fitzpatrick skin types III-VI were taken in a controlled environment during normal perfusion and tourniquet-induced ischemia. Videos were EVM processed, and red/green/blue color channel characteristics were extracted to produce waveforms. These videos were assessed by surgeons with a range of expertise in hand injuries. The videos were randomized and presented in 1 of 3 ways: unprocessed, EVM processed, and EVM with waveform output (EVM+waveform). Survey respondents indicated whether the video showed an ischemic or perfused hand or if they were unable to tell. We used group comparisons to evaluate response accuracy across video types, skin tones, and respondent groups. RESULTS: Of the 51 providers to whom the surveys were sent, 25 (49%) completed them. Using the Pearson χ2 test, the frequencies of correct responses were significantly higher in the EVM+waveform category than in the unprocessed or EVM videos. Additionally, the agreement was higher among responses to the EVM+waveform questions than among responses to the unprocessed or EVM processed. The accuracy and agreement from the EVM+waveform group were consistent across all skin pigmentations evaluated. CONCLUSIONS: Video-based EVM processing combined with waveform extraction from color channels improved the surgeon's ability to identify tourniquet-induced finger ischemia via video across all skin types tested. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Eulerian Video Magnification with waveform extraction improved the assessment of perfusion in the distal upper extremity and has potential future applications, including triage, postsurgery vascular assessment, and telemedicine.
RESUMEN
Objective s: To evaluate travel distance in women with advanced or recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer (OC) undergoing cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and the subsequent impact upon outcomes. Methods: An IRB-approved single-institution prospective registry was queried for women with OC who underwent HIPEC from 1/1/2009-12/1/2020. Demographic, oncologic, and surgical data were recorded. The patient's home zip code was compared to the institutional zip code to determine travel distance using Google Maps. Patients were divided into three strata for analysis: 1) local: ≤50 miles, 2) regional: 51-99 miles, and 3) distant: ≥100 miles and univariate analysis was performed. Results: Of 127 women, the median distance travelled was 57.0 miles (IQR: 20.6, 84.6). There were no significant differences in mild (28.3% vs. 26.3 vs. 24.1%), moderate (21.7% vs. 15.8% vs. 17.2%) or severe postoperative complications (11.7% vs. 5.3% vs. 17.2%) (p = 0.75) for local, regional and distant patients, respectively. There was no difference in progression-free survival (17.4 vs. 22.2 vs. 12.8 months, p > 0.05) or overall survival (57.3 vs. 61.6 vs. 29.2 months, p > 0.05) for local, regional or distant patients, respectively. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that women with OC are willing to travel for HIPEC, with over 50% traveling > 50 miles. Our results suggest that women who travel for HIPEC procedures are not at increased risk for perioperative complications or worse oncologic outcomes than those local to HIPEC centers.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE(S): To evaluate the incidence and associated risk factors for anastomotic failure following interval debulking surgery (IDS) with or without hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in women with advanced ovarian cancer. METHODS: We performed a retrospective cohort study in women with stage III/IV high-grade ovarian cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by IDS with colorectal resection and HIPEC from 2017 to 2020. These patients were compared to a historical control cohort who underwent IDS with colorectal resection without HIPEC from 2009 to 2016. Data was collected for demographics, surgical variables, and perioperative outcomes. The univariate analysis compared progression-free survival and overall survival. RESULTS: 61 women were identified; 21 (34.4%) underwent IDS with HIPEC from 2017 to 2020, and 40 underwent IDS alone from 2009 to 2016. None of the patients who had IDS with HIPEC had protective ileostomy, compared to 10.0% of those who received had IDS alone (n = 4)(p = 0.29). The cumulative incidence of anastomotic leak rate was 8.2% (n = 5). There was no significant difference in anastomotic leak rate for women who underwent IDS with HIPEC (9.5%, n = 2) versus without HIPEC (7.5%, n = 3) (p = 0.99). While there was no difference in PFS (12.2 vs. 13.3 months, log-rank p = 0.31), OS (9.4 vs. 40.6 months, log-rank p = 0.013) was significantly decreased following postoperative anastomotic leak. CONCLUSIONS: In this retrospective series of women with advanced ovarian cancer, HIPEC was not associated with increased risk for anastomotic leak at the time of IDS with colorectal resection and reanastomosis. While further study is needed, HIPEC alone should not preclude colorectal resection or dictate practices for colonic diversion in IDS.

PURPOSE: This work presents unique designs for prosthetic restoration of the distal finger. We first discuss fitting a prosthetic nail in order to restore the cosmetic deficit caused by partial or complete nail injury. This concept is inspired from snap fit and lanced sheet metal technology. We also discuss new approaches to designing and fitting a full fingertip prosthetic with a special suspension and a socket for more complete cosmetic fingertip restoration. METHODS: The designs utilize the compliance and higher strain level of hinges to fit the prosthesis with either the residual nail or to the distal-most aspect of the amputated fingertip. These techniques require preparation of the residual nail to match the fabricated nails well as design of a snap fit nail prosthetic. The socket and suspension design of the full fingertip prosthetic is formed with a spring shape and has an open end to allow proper molding, fit, and suspension. RESULTS: The introduced approaches simplify the assembly steps and propose unique, cosmetically appropriate, and potentially less irritating prosthetic options compared to what has been previously used. The socket of the finger has an ability to expand and can be worn on any stump size. CONCLUSION: Low cost, fewer parts, ease of assembly and user friendly are the main attributes of the introduced designs. Future work to finalize these designs and trial them in humans is needed.

OBJECTIVE(S): To evaluate the impact of frailty on postoperative complications following cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intra-peritoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in women with advanced or recurrent gynecologic cancer. METHODS: An IRB-approved single-institution prospective registry was queried for women who underwent CRS with HIPEC for advanced or recurrent gynecologic cancer from 1/1/2014-12/31/2020. Frailty was defined as a modified Frailty Index (mFI) score of ≥2. Logistic regression was used to assess the impact of mFI upon the rate of moderate or higher (≥ grade 2) Accordion postoperative complications. RESULTS: Of 141 women, 81.6% (n = 115) were non-frail with mFI of 0-1 and 18.4% (n = 26) were frail with mFI ≥2. The incidence of ≥ grade 2 complications was 21.2% (n = 14) for mFI = 0, 26.5% (n = 13) for mFI = 1, 64.7% (n = 11) for mFI = 2 and 100.0% (n = 9) for patients with mFI ≥3. The incidence of re-operation (1.7% vs. 11.5%, p = 0.044), ICU admission (13.2% vs. 34.6%, p = 0.018), acute kidney injury (6.3% vs. 30.8%, p = 0.001), and respiratory failure (0.9% vs. 19.2%, p < 0.001) were significantly lower amongst non-frail vs. frail women. On multivariable analysis, mFI ≥2 was associated with significantly increased ≥ grade 2 complications versus mFI of 0-1 (OR 9.4, 95% CI 3.3, 26.4, p < 0.001). Age (OR 1.04, 95% CI 1.00, 1.09, p = 0.07), surgical indication (recurrent vs. primary) (OR 0.71, 95% CI 0.30, 1.7, p = 0.44) and Surgical Complexity Score of Intermediate or High vs. Low (OR 1.5, 95% CI 0.67, 3.5, p = 0.31) were not associated with ≥grade 2 complications. CONCLUSIONS: Frailty, defined by the modified frailty index, is predictive of ≥grade 2 postoperative complications following CRS with HIPEC in women with gynecologic cancer. Frailty screening before CRS with HIPEC may assist patient selection and improve postoperative outcomes.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate perioperative outcomes in elderly versus non-elderly women with advanced or recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer undergoing surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). METHODS: A single-institution prospective registry was analyzed for women with ovarian cancer who underwent surgery with HIPEC from January 2014 to December 2020. Elderly age was defined as ≥65 years at surgery. Complications were defined according to the Accordion scale. Univariate and multivariable analysis was used to compare progression-free survival and overall survival. RESULTS: Of 127 women who underwent surgery with HIPEC, 33.1% (n=42) were ≥65 and 17.3% (n=22) were ≥70 years old. The median age for non-elderly and elderly patients were 55.7±8.3 versus 72.0±5.4 years, respectively (p<0.001). The majority of non-elderly versus elderly patients underwent HIPEC at the time of interval cytoreductive surgery following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (52.9% vs 73.8%, p=0.024). There were no differences in moderate (15.3% vs 26.2%) or severe postoperative complications (10.6% vs 11.9%, p=0.08), acute kidney injury (7.1% vs 16.7%, p=0.12), and length of stay (5.0 vs 5.0 days, p=0.56) for non-elderly versus elderly patients. With a median follow-up of 20 months (95% CI 9.1 to 32.7 months), there was no difference in progression-free survival (18.8 vs 15.7 months, p=0.75) or overall survival (61.6 months vs not estimable, p=0.72) for non-elderly versus elderly patients. Comparing patients 65-69 versus ≥70 years, progression-free survival (33.0 vs 12.5 months, p=0.002) was significantly improved in patients aged 65-69, without difference in overall survival (not estimable vs 36.0 months, p=0.91). On multivariable analysis, age ≥65 did not impact progression-free survival (p=0.74). CONCLUSIONS: In this prospective registry of women with ovarian cancer, perioperative morbidity is not increased for non-elderly versus elderly patients following surgery with HIPEC. While age should not exclude patients from surgery with HIPEC, additional research is needed regarding oncologic benefits in elderly women.

OBJECTIVE(S): To identify recurrence patterns and outcomes in women with advanced or recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). METHODS: This is an IRB-approved single-institution cohort study of women who underwent CRS+HIPEC for advanced or recurrent EOC followed in a prospective registry from 1/12/2014-3/1/2020. Recurrence locations were defined as pelvic, upper abdominal (UA) and/or extra-peritoneal (EP). Univariate analysis assessed associations between recurrence location, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). RESULTS: In total, 92 women with EOC underwent interval (56.5%; n=52) or recurrent CRS+HIPEC (43.5%; n=40). For interval CRS+HIPEC, recurrence locations were pelvic in 50.0% (n=15), UA in 23.3% (n=7) and EP in 56.7% (n=17); 40.0% (n=12) were EP alone. Similarly, for recurrent CRS+HIPEC, recurrence locations were pelvic (22.5%, n=9), UA (5.0%, n=2) and EP (60.0%, n=24); 66.7% (n=20) were EP alone. For both interval and recurrent CRS+HIPEC, median PFS was 10.5 vs. 13.0 months for pelvic and UA vs. EP only recurrences (p=0.02). Similarly, median OS was 29.2 months for pelvic and UA and not reached for EP only (p=0.05). For interval CRS+HIPEC, there was no difference in median PFS (10.6 vs. 11.7 months, p=0.68) and OS (27.1 vs. 24.8 months, p=0.96) for pelvic and UA vs EP alone. However, for recurrent CRS+HIPEC, pelvic and UA sites of recurrence were associated with reduced PFS (10.0 vs. 18.1 months, p=0.03) and OS (33.6 months vs. not reached, p=0.02) vs. EP only. CONCLUSIONS: In women with advanced or recurrent EOC undergoing CRS+HIPEC, one-half of patients experience their first recurrence outside of the peritoneal cavity. Providers must be aware of the risk of EP failure in patients treated with CRS+HIPEC.

OBJECTIVE: To determine peri-operative outcomes in women with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) undergoing interval debulking surgery (IDS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) via minimally invasive interval debulking surgery (MIS) or laparotomy (LAP). METHODS: A single institution, retrospective cohort study was performed in women with EOC who underwent IDS with HIPEC from 2017 to 2019 via MIS or LAP. Peri-operative outcomes were compared using univariate analysis. RESULTS: In total, 50 eligible women were identified; ten (20.0%) underwent MIS + HIPEC and 40 (80.0%) LAP + HIPEC. The median age of patients in the MIS group was 71.1 vs. 64.2 years in LAP (p = 0.031). There was no significant difference in pre-operative complete radiographic response following NACT (p = 0.18). Notably, there was no difference in the rate of R0 resection (70.0% vs. 77.5%; p = 0.39). There was no significant difference in ICU admission, estimated blood loss, operative time, or use of vasopressors between the cohorts. Similarly, there was no difference in 30-day adverse events for MIS vs. LAP, but length of stay was decreased for those who underwent minimally invasive procedures (3 vs. 4 days, p = 0.016). Time to initiation of chemotherapy following surgery was not significantly different between groups (26.2 days vs 32.0 days, p = 0.090). With median follow-up of 15.1 months, there was no difference in recurrence free survival (median 15.0 vs 17.2 months log-rank, p = 0.30) for MIS vs. LAP. CONCLUSIONS: In this retrospective cohort study, we demonstrate that in women with advanced EOC, HIPEC with MIS at the time of IDS following NACT is feasible. Our institutional experience demonstrates similar rates of R0 cytoreduction, compared to LAP. An MIS approach should not prevent surgeons from utilizing HIPEC where indicated for management of advanced EOC.

OBJECTIVE: This systematic review aimed to evaluate oncologic and reproductive outcomes after fertility-sparing surgery (FSS) for early-stage cervical cancer (early CC). DATA SOURCES: Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid EMBASE, and Cochrane CENTRAL were searched from 1980 to the present using Medical Subject Headings terms; other controlled vocabulary terms; and keywords related to fertility, cervical cancer, and surgical techniques. METHODS OF STUDY SELECTION: A total of 2415 studies were screened, with 53 studies included. Studies reporting recurrences with a median follow-up of 12 months in early CC (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics 2009 stages IA with lymphovascular space invasion, IB, or IIA) of traditional histologic type undergoing FSS were included. TABULATION, INTEGRATION, AND RESULTS: The studies were grouped by intervention, including vaginal radical trachelectomy (VRT), abdominal radical trachelectomy (ART), minimally invasive radical trachelectomy (MIS-RT), and conization or simple trachelectomy (ST), and studies involving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). Combined rates of recurrence (RR), cancer death (CDR), pregnancy (PR), and live birth (LBR) were calculated per procedure on the basis of all included studies that reported outcomes on that procedure. The results were as follows: VRT: RR 4%, CDR 1.7%, PR 49.4%, and LBR 65.0% ART: RR 3.9%, CDR 1.4%, PR 43.2%, and LBR 44.0% MIS-RT: RR 4.2%, CDR 0.7%, PR 36.2%, and LBR 57.1% Cone or ST: RR 4.2%, CDR 0.8%, PR 55.1%, and LBR 71.9% NACT: RR 7.5% and CDR 2.0% CONCLUSION: FSS of early CC with VRT, ART, or MIS-RT have comparable oncologic outcomes in carefully selected patients, with reproductive outcomes favoring VRT. Data on nonradical FSS with cone or ST are less robust but support similar oncologic outcomes to radical trachelectomy with fewer reproductive complications. NACT in this setting requires more investigation before routine implementation into practice.

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a leading cause of cancer death in women. Standard of care treatment has remained platinum-containing cytotoxic chemotherapy for over three decades. Among the central challenges in treating ovarian CA are disease recurrence and the development of chemoresistance. Survival is uniformly poor for patients with chemoresistant recurrent disease and effective therapeutic options are limited. As such, delineating the mechanisms of chemoresistance and developing targeted therapies to prevent chemoresistance from occurring are of vital importance to improving survival for patients with EOC. Attempts to characterize mechanisms of chemoresistance have implicated numerous cellular pathways, but a rift remains between pre-clinical findings and translation to improving patient survival. More recently, the interplay among different cell types within the tumor microenvironment has become central to understanding how chemoresistance may develop and may be sustained. An improved understanding of how tumor cell-intrinsic and -extrinsic pathways converge during the development of chemoresistance may improve the likelihood of successful clinical translation. This review focuses on the roles of the EOC tumor microenvironment and tumor cell heterogeneity in the development of chemoresistance. We review recent studies into mechanisms of chemoresistance as they relate to tumor microenvironment and development of novel therapeutic approaches that exploit these mechanisms to prevent or reverse chemoresistance. This review attempts to cast these latest discoveries in a clinical context by summarizing trends in ongoing clinical trials for patients with EOC.
RESUMEN
Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) may be used to treat peritoneal based malignancies, such as epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Despite results of clinical trials supporting an increasing indication for HIPEC in EOC, concerns have existed regarding morbidity and challenges with initiating HIPEC at an institutional level. The objective of this review is to describe evidence-based recommendations to guide implementation of a HIPEC program, following our experience at a high-volume tertiary care center. Establishing a HIPEC program requires building a multi-disciplinary team, including gynecologic oncologists, anesthesia, nursing, perfusionists and pharmacists. Team members require education regarding HIPEC protocols, toxic waste and spill management, and personal protective equipment (PPE). Required equipment includes chemotherapy certified PPE and a HIPEC pump which is connected to inflow and outflow catheters placed within the peritoneal cavity. During the procedure, 3-6 L of a hyperthermic perfusate, composed of a isotonic crystalloid vehicle and the chemotherapy of choice, is infused through the peritoneal cavity with goal temperature of 41-43 °C. Prior to HIPEC infusion, surgical teams must communicate with anesthesia and pharmacy. In patients receiving HIPEC with cisplatin, furosemide and mannitol should be administered one hour prior to chemotherapy to ensure adequate diuresis. Sodium thiosulfate may also be considered for renal protection (van Driel et al., n.d. [3]). We utilize a multi-agent pre-medication protocol prior to HIPEC infusion to reduce hypersensitivity reactions, renal toxicity and post-operative nausea and vomiting. Limited data exists to support the optimal regimen for HIPEC at the time of CRS in women with EOC. From our experience, we favor use of cisplatin 100 mg/m2 alone or in combination with paclitaxel 135-175 mg/m2 with 90 min of total perfusion time. Close attention to temperature and glycemic control is essential during the procedure, as electrolyte derangements including hyperglycemia, lactic acidosis and hypokalemia may occur. Continuous patient monitoring and proactive management of abnormalities that arise during HIPEC is imperative to decrease patient morbidity and mortality.

OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between ovarian conservation and oncologic outcome in surgically-treated young women with early-stage, low-grade endometrial cancer. METHODS: This multicenter retrospective study examined women aged <50 with stage I grade 1-2 endometrioid endometrial cancer who underwent primary surgery with hysterectomy from 2000 to 2014 (US cohort nâ¯=â¯1196, and Japan cohort nâ¯=â¯495). Recurrence patterns, survival, and the presence of a metachronous secondary malignancy were assessed based on ovarian conservation versus oophorectomy. RESULTS: During the study period, the ovarian conservation rate significantly increased in the US cohort from 5.4% to 16.4% (Pâ¯=â¯0.020) whereas the rate was unchanged in the Japan cohort (6.3-8.7%, Pâ¯=â¯0.787). In the US cohort, ovarian conservation was not associated with disease-free survival (hazard ratio [HR] 0.829, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.188-3.663, Pâ¯=â¯0.805), overall survival (HR not estimated, Pâ¯=â¯0.981), or metachronous secondary malignancy (HR 1.787, 95% CI 0.603-5.295, Pâ¯=â¯0.295). In the Japan cohort, ovarian conservation was associated with decreased disease-free survival (HR 5.214, 95% CI 1.557-17.464, Pâ¯=â¯0.007) and an increased risk of a metachronous secondary malignancy, particularly ovarian cancer (HR 7.119, 95% CI 1.349-37.554, Pâ¯=â¯0.021), but was not associated with overall survival (HR not estimated, Pâ¯=â¯0.987). Ovarian recurrence or metachronous secondary ovarian cancer occurred after a median time of 5.9â¯years, and all cases were salvaged. CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that adoption of ovarian conservation in young women with early-stage low-grade endometrial cancer varies by population. Ovarian conservation for young women with early-stage, low-grade endometrial cancer may be potentially associated with increased risks of ovarian recurrence or metachronous secondary ovarian cancer in certain populations; nevertheless, ovarian conservation did not negatively impact overall survival.

BACKGROUND: While there is an increasing trend of ovarian conservation at the time of surgical treatment for young women with stage I cervical cancer, the risk for subsequent ovarian cancer after ovarian conservation has not been well studied. OBJECTIVE: We sought to examine the incidence of and risk factors for metachronous ovarian cancer among young women with stage I cervical cancer who had ovarian conservation at the time of hysterectomy. STUDY DESIGN: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program was used to identify women aged <50 years who underwent hysterectomy with ovarian conservation for stage I cervical cancer from 1983 through 2013 (n = 4365). Time-dependent analysis was performed for ovarian cancer risk after cervical cancer diagnosis. RESULTS: Mean age at cervical cancer diagnosis was 37 years, and the majority of patients had stage IA disease (68.2%) and squamous histology (72.9%). Median follow-up time was 10.8 years, and there were 13 women who developed metachronous ovarian cancer. The 10- and 20-year cumulative incidences of metachronous ovarian cancer were 0.2% (95% confidence interval, 0.1-0.4) and 0.5% (95% confidence interval, 0.2-0.8), respectively. Mean age at the time of diagnosis of metachronous ovarian cancer was 47.5 years, and stage III-IV disease was seen in 55.6%. Age (≥45 vs <45 years, hazard ratio, 4.22; 95% confidence interval, 1.16-15.4; P = .018), ethnicity (non-white vs white, hazard ratio, 4.29; 95% confidence interval, 1.31-14.0; P = .009), cervical cancer histology (adenocarcinoma or adenosquamous vs squamous, hazard ratio, 3.50; 95% confidence interval, 1.17-10.5; P = .028), and adjuvant radiotherapy use (yes vs no, hazard ratio, 3.69; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-13.4; P = .034) were significantly associated with metachronous ovarian cancer risk. The presence of multiple risk factors was associated with a significantly increased risk of metachronous ovarian cancer compared to the no risk factor group: 1 risk factor (hazard ratio range, 2.96-8.43), 2 risk factors (hazard ratio range, 16.6-31.0), and 3-4 risk factors (hazard ratio range, 62.3-109), respectively. CONCLUSION: Metachronous ovarian cancer risk after ovarian conservation for women with stage I cervical cancer is <1%. Older age, non-white ethnicity, adenocarcinoma or adenosquamous histology, and adjuvant radiotherapy may be associated with an increased metachronous ovarian cancer risk.

Multiple convergent lines of evidence implicate both α-synuclein (encoded by SCNA) and mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD). Occupational exposure to the mitochondrial complex I inhibitor rotenone increases PD risk; rotenone-exposed rats show systemic mitochondrial defects but develop specific neuropathology, including α-synuclein aggregation and degeneration of substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons. Here, we inhibited expression of endogenous α-synuclein in the adult rat substantia nigra by adeno-associated virus-mediated delivery of a short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting the endogenous rat Snca transcript. Knockdown of α-synuclein by ~35% did not affect motor function or cause degeneration of nigral dopaminergic neurons in control rats. However, in rotenone-exposed rats, progressive motor deficits were substantially attenuated contralateral to α-synuclein knockdown. Correspondingly, rotenone-induced degeneration of nigral dopaminergic neurons, their dendrites, and their striatal terminals was decreased ipsilateral to α-synuclein knockdown. These data show that α-synuclein knockdown is neuroprotective in the rotenone model of PD and indicate that endogenous α-synuclein contributes to the specific vulnerability of dopaminergic neurons to systemic mitochondrial inhibition. Our findings are consistent with a model in which genetic variants influencing α-synuclein expression modulate cellular susceptibility to environmental exposures in PD patients. shRNA targeting the SNCA transcript should be further evaluated as a possible neuroprotective therapy in PD.
