Objective: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease characterized by initial involvement of the olfactory bulb/amygdala or autonomic nerves followed by nigral degeneration. Although autonomic innervation strictly regulates multiorgan systems, including endocrine functions, circulation, and digestion, how dysautonomia in PD affects systemic metabolism has not been identified. In this study, we tried to estimate the pathogenic linkage of PD by nuclear medicine techniques, trans-omic analysis of blood samples, and cultured cell experiments.
Methods: Thyroid mediastinum ratio of I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy was measured in 1,158 patients with PD. Furthermore, serum exosome miRNA transcriptome analysis and plasma metabolome analysis followed by trans-omic analysis were performed in patients with de novo PD and age-matched healthy control persons. Additionally, thyroid hormone was administered to skeletal muscle and liver derived cells to evaluate the effect of hypothyroidism for these organs.
Results: Sympathetic denervation of thyroid correlating with its cardiac denervation was confirmed in 1,158 patients with PD by MIBG scintigraphy. Among patients with drug-naïve PD, comprehensive metabolome analysis revealed decreased levels of thyroxine and insufficient fatty acid β-oxidation, which positively correlate with one another. Likewise, both plasma metabolome data and transcriptome data of circulating exosomal miRNAs, revealed specific enrichment of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPARα) axis. Finally, association of thyroid hormone with PPARα-dependent β-oxidation regulation was confirmed by in vitro experiments.
Interpretation: Our findings suggest that interorgan communications between the thyroid and liver are disorganized in the early stage of PD, which would be a sensitive diagnostic biomarker for PD. ANN NEUROL 2023;93:303-316.

Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a type of inflammatory bowel disease primarily affecting the colon and rectum. The clinical symptoms of UC include persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain, and rectal bleeding, with chronic inflammation often limited to the mucosal layer of the colon. Macrophages play a significant role in the pathogenesis of UC in response to the presence of gut microbiota.

Background: Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease categorized based on molecular characteristics, including hormone receptor (HR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression levels. The emergence of profiling technology has revealed multiple driver genomic alterations within each breast cancer subtype, serving as biomarkers to predict treatment outcomes. This study aimed to explore the genomic landscape of breast cancer in the Taiwanese population through comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) and identify diagnostic and predictive biomarkers.

Defining the molecular networks orchestrating human brain formation is crucial for understanding neurodevelopment and neurological disorders. Challenges in acquiring early brain tissue have incentivized the use of three-dimensional human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived neural organoids to recapitulate neurodevelopment. To elucidate the molecular programs that drive this highly dynamic process, here, we generate a comprehensive trans-omic map of the phosphoproteome, proteome, and transcriptome of the exit of pluripotency and neural differentiation toward human cerebral organoids (hCOs).

Article Synopsis
- Obesity disrupts liver metabolism during both feeding and fasting, leading to a loss of metabolic balance, though the exact mechanisms are still unclear.
- A study gathered multi-omics data from both normal mice and leptin-deficient obese mice to analyze the differences in metabolic reactions during feeding and after 16 hours of fasting.
- The research found that metabolic intermediates fluctuate between feeding and fasting, with certain regulations reversing their effects, indicating a complex dysregulation of metabolism associated with obesity.
