HOUSTON –Researchers atBaylor College of Medicine andTexas Children’s Hospital haveidentified unexpected new keyplayers in the development ofan early onset form of Parkin-son’s disease called Parkinson-ism.

These key players are ceramides, a family of lipidmolecules that are found within cell membranes. Theresearchers propose that ceramides are the linchpinthat connects previously identified cellular defects andgenes independently known to be associated withParkinson’s disease and suggest a mechanism thatcan lead to the condition. The findings, published inthe journal Cell Metabolism could result in novelstrategies to prevent or treat the condition in the fu-ture.

“Numerous genes have been associated withParkinson’s disease or Parkinson-like diseases; nev-ertheless, there is still little understanding of howthese genes cause these conditions,” said correspon-ding author Dr. Hugo Bellen, professor of molecularand human genetics and neuroscience at Baylor Col-lege of Medicine and an investigator at the HowardHughes Medical Institute.

“In this work, we have identified new contributors tothe disease that we propose can provide a connectionbetween previously unconnected genes and cellulardefects observed in these diseases.”

“When I joined the laboratory of Dr. Bellen, I decidedto work on the human PLA2GA6 gene.

Mutations in this gene cause neurodegenerativedisorders, including Parkinsonism,” said first authorDr. Guang Lin, postdoctoral associate in molecularand human genetics at Baylor. “The PLA2G6 geneencodes a phospholipase, an enzyme that modifies atype of fats called phospholipids.

Phospholipids are major building blocks of our nerv-ous system, but they have not been well character-ized.

We thought that we ought to investigate what thisphospholipase was doing in these diseases.”

Lin and his colleagues developed a fruit fly modelof the human condition by knocking out the fly equiv-alent of the human PLA2GA6 gene, called iPLA2-VIA,which the researchers determined is expressed inneurons and probably other types of cells.

These mutant fruit flies lived about one third of thelifespan of normal flies and presented with cellularcharacteristics similar to those observed in humanswith mutations in PLA2G6 gene.

“Confirming previous results by other researchers,we also observed that fruit flies without the iPLA2-VIAgene were healthy when they were young and pre-sented with age-dependent neurodegeneration,” Linsaid.

In addition, the researchers looked for the first timeat the effects of the mutation on two other measure-ments: bang sensitivity and the workings of the visualsystem. Bang sensitivity refers to the response of thefruit flies to mechanical stress.

Ethnicity• The disease was once thought toaffect primarily whites, but recentstudies have demonstrated equalprevalence in African Americans andwhites living in the same geographic area.

• Comparative epidemiologic studies per-formed in various major cities have yielded con-tradictory information

• Variations in the prevalence of the disease inindividual racial groups in different geographicareas have suggested an increased risk associ-ated with rural living.

Late last year, Rev. Jesse Jackson (pictured at left) revealedhe has Parkinson’s disease, a disease that also, he said in aletter to friends and supporters, bested his father. “Recognitionof the effects of this disease on me has been painful, and Ihave been slow to grasp the gravity of it. For me, a Parkinson’sdiagnosis is not a stop sign but rather a signal that I mustmake lifestyle changes and dedicate myself to physical therapyin hopes of slowing the disease’s progression,” he said in hisletter about having the disease.“I am far from alone. God continues to give me new opportu-

nities to serve. This diagnosis is personal but it is more thanthat. It is an opportunity for me to use my voice to help in find-ing a cure for a disease that afflicts 7 to 10 million worldwide.Some 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson’s everyyear.”

Use your ‘header’ to stayhealthy during World Cup

HOUSTON – (June 14, 2018) – If you’ve got a case of World Cupfever, you might find yourself attending watch parties or even kickingaround a soccer ball with friends and family over the next few weeks.However you decide to join in on the excitement, try these tips fromother sporting events that our Baylor College of Medicine experts rec-ommend to stay healthy.Beat the HeatBe smart about joining an outdoor soccer game by avoiding the

hottest hours of the day and adjusting your expectations about the in-tensity of your workout, according to Dr. Theodore Shybut, assistantprofessor in the Joseph Barnhart Department of Orthopedic Surgeryand a sports medicine expert at Baylor. Other tips include hydrating be-fore heading outside and wearing lightweight clothing in light colors.Read more. Start slowlyIf the matches are inspiring your fitness goals, it’s important to start

any new activity at a low intensity level to get used to the training.Ramping up over time can help minimize soreness or injury, said Shy-but. Read more.Try healthy food and drink swapsIf you’re hosting a watch party, consider healthy alternatives such as

low-calorie mixers for drinks or 2 percent milk-fat cheese, said RobertaAnding, registered dietitian with Baylor. Ditch the tortilla chips and optfor bean chips instead to add fiber and protein to the meal. Read morenutrition tips for a watch party.Avoid heartburnTo ease the symptoms of acid reflux, keep an antacid handy and try

avoiding peer pressure to binge drink or eat, go for a walk after eatingand make healthy diet choices the next day, according to Dr. HashemEl-Serag, chair of the Margaret M. and Albert B. Alkek Department ofMedicine and professor of gastroenterology and hepatology at Baylor.See more tips.Take care of your heartIf you have a known ailment such as hypertension, coronary artery

disease or a family history of heart conditions, take medication regularly,according to Dr. Christie Ballantyne, professor of medicine and chief ofthe section of cardiology at Baylor. Research has shown that there isan increase in heart attacks following a heart-pounding sporting event.Be sure to check your blood pressure regularly, and head to the emer-gency room if you have chest pressure or tightness with symptoms suchas sweating or shortness of breath.

Why is Xanax abuse blowing up in America?Article courtesy of Vice via “The Rundown”

The number of adults prescribeddrugs in the class that includesXanax rose by 67 percent be-tween 1996 and 2013. Over thesame period, the amount of thesedrugs that was actually dispensedmore than tripled, according to a2016 study.

But while many Americanstended to see benzos as harmlesschill pills that even old folks used,the number of benzodiazepineoverdoses rose by a factor ofnearly eight between 1999 and2015.

And they have been a factor in more than a third of recent fatal opioid overdoses-including, last November,that of the rapper Lil Peep. Worse, even when taken daily as prescribed, they can lead to dependence and,in some patients, a lengthy and vicious withdrawal syndrome.



They observed that while normal fruit flies have nobang sensitivity, meaning they recover immediatelyfrom impact, flies lacking iPLA2-VIA gene take longerto recover; they were paralyzed for some time afterthe impact, indicating problems with their nervous sys-tem.

To determine the workings of the visual system, theresearchers conducted electroretinograms to meas-ure the electrical responses of photoreceptors, neu-rons that sense light, in the eyes at different timesduring the life of the adult fruit flies. They found pro-gressive loss of electrical activity in the mutant flies,findings that once again show a defect in the nervoussystem of these flies.

“We further carried out electron microscopy studiesto take a closer look at the structure of neurons. Wediscovered that in the sick flies, the photoreceptorshad many inclusions, lump-like structures, in theirmembranes, which are a symptom that something iswrong.

The inclusions were absent in normal cells,” saidBellen, who also is a member of the Jan and DanDuncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Chil-dren’s Hospital.

“We also found structural malformations in most ofthe mitochondria, which is often a feature of Parkin-son’s disease, as well as dramatic enlargement oflysosomes, intracellular structures involved in the re-cycling of membranes and other cellular components.Altogether, these results indicated that the iPLA2-VIAgene is important to maintain proper membrane struc-ture and shape.”A surprising finding“Because the fly iPLA2-VIA gene encodes a phos-

pholipase, an enzyme that modifies phospholipids, weexpected that flies lacking the iPLA2-VIA gene wouldhave changes in the phospholipids, providing a con-nection with the structural and functional defects weobserved in the flies,” Bellen said. “Surprisingly, ouranalysis showed that the phospholipids were normal.We did not anticipate this.”

Then, what was abnormal?The researchers looked at many types of lipids and

found that the amounts of almost all the ceramides –lipids that are important for membrane structure andfunction – were increased in flies lacking the iPLA2-VIA gene. This suggested that the gene plays a rolein the pathway that produces ceramides.

“We tested the effect of desipramine and myriocin,two drugs that block ceramide synthesis, on fruit flieslacking the iPLA2-VIA gene,” Bellen said.

“As expected, both drugs led to decreased amountsof ceramides in the cells. Interestingly, mutant fliestreated with the drugs also presented with less neu-rodegeneration, less bang sensitivity, improved elec-toretinograms and less alterations in the lysosomeswhen compared with mutant flies not treated with thedrugs.”

Digging deeper into these results, the researcherslooked into the processes cells use to reuse and torecycle ceramide-derived lipids present in cell mem-branes. Cells both reuse and recycle these lipids tokeep a balanced supply in cell membranes. Cellsreuse these lipids via intracellular trafficking mediatedby the retromer. Retromers can identify these lipids,extract them before they are recycled and bring themback to membranes.

Lipids that are not reused in this way are trans-ported to the lysosomes where they are broken down

into ceramides, which are then incorporated intomembranes of the cells.

The increased levels of ceramide stiffen the mem-branes. This further disrupts the function of theretromer, leading to more lipid shuttling to the lyso-somes where they are broken down to produce moreceramides. This creates a positive-feedback loop thatcauses ceramides to accumulate and leads to neu-rodegeneration.

The results of their investigations revealed cluessuggesting that ceramide balance is disrupted in flieslacking the iPLA2-VIA gene. These mutant flies havedecreased levels of Vps35 and Vps26, proteins inretromers that are essential for their function. The re-searchers found that normally the iPLA2-VIA proteinbinds to Vps35 and Vps26 and this binding enhancesretromer function. Lacking iPLA2-VIA protein resultsin less Vps35 and Vps26 and causes the disruptionof retromer function, suggesting that the iPLA2-VIAprotein stabilizes retromers and their function, whichwas not known before.

“These observations led us to predict that ifretromers are defective, then lysosomes would haveextra work and should expand, and this is what weobserved,” Bellen said. “All the approaches we testedthat improved retromer function also resulted in an im-provement of the defects we observe in fruit flies lack-ing the iPLA2-VIA gene. Interestingly, mutations in thevps35 gene also cause Parkinson’s disease.”

Bellen and his colleagues confirmed these resultsin vertebrate neurons grown in the lab.

In addition, the researchers found that having highlevels of alpha-synuclein, a hallmark of Parkinson’sdisease in vertebrate neurons, leads to retromer dys-

function, lysosomal expansion and ceramide accumulation.Interestingly, these defects triggered by excess alpha-synu-

clein also were reduced by treatment with the same drugs thatimproved the defects observed in fruit flies lacking the iPLA2-VIAgene.

Altogether, this work provides new evidence suggesting con-nections between new and previously identified pieces known tobe associated with the Parkinson’s disease puzzle and suggesta mechanism that can lead to the condition.

“We show that loss of phospholipase PLA2G6 leads to ce-ramide accumulation, defects in retromer function, progressivelysosome expansion and, finally, to progressive neurodegenera-tion with characteristics in common with those observed inParkinson’s disease.

And the same drugs that interfere with ceramide synthesis alsoameliorate the condition. We also found a place for alpha-synu-clein in the disease puzzle,” Lin said.

“We think that our work is important because it points to a po-tential mechanism leading to Parkinsonism and perhaps Parkin-son’s disease,” Bellen said. “We propose that loss ofphospholipase PLA2G6 or a reduction in Vps35 causes a disrup-tion of retromer function that creates an insidious stress for thecell and is potentially at the root of these conditions. If retromerfunction is disrupted, neurons are not able to reuse some ce-ramide-derived lipids, and more of them travel to the lysosomes,which have to work harder over time and hence start expanding.Also, as ceramide-derived lipids are shuttled to the lysosomes toproduce ceramides, the cell builds up ceramides, which redistrib-ute to the cell membranes and membranes of other organelles,such as mitochondria, disrupting the membranes’ functions. Wepropose that the pathway becomes gradually and increasinglydisturbed because of the stiffening of membranes by intercalatingceramides, which creates progressively more stress as well asmitochondrial dysfunction that eventually would lead to Parkin-sonism and Parkinson’s disease in the long term.”

XanaxBaylor College of Medicine expert debunkssummerhealth myths

HOUSTON – Summer ishere and that means manyfamilies will be spending timeoutdoors at the beach or by thepool. To help families prepare,Baylor College of Medicine ex-pert Isabel Valdez, a physicianassistant and instructor of fam-ily and community medicine,debunks four common summerhealth myths. False: Saltwater is good for

cuts“This is a myth because salt-

water from the beach can actu-ally contain germs or bacteriathat can infect an open wound,”Valdez said. “You should waituntil the wound is healed andsealed completely before sub-merging it in fresh or saltwater.”

To help wounds heal, Valdezrecommends washing thewound with warm, soapy waterand to see your doctor if thewound becomes red, sore orwarm to touch.True (to a certain extent):

You can get stomach cramps ifyou go swimming too soonafter eating

If you go swimming or do anyvigorous activities too soonafter you eat, Valdez said thereis a small chance you can getabdominal cramps or have anupset stomach because yourfood has not had time to settle.

She added that while swim-ming on a full stomach might

be uncomfortable, it is not life-threatening. Swimming is agreat exercise that you canenjoy, just be sure you've hadtime to digest.False: You do not have to

wear sunscreen when it iscloudy

“You definitely want to wearsunscreen even when it’scloudy because you are stillgoing to be exposed to someUV rays,” Valdez said. “I rec-ommend always wearing anSPF over 30.”

You also should reapply yoursunscreen throughout the day,

especially if you are swimmingor sweating, she said.False: If you are in need of

hydration, any drink will helpDrinking a cold soda or an al-

coholic beverage is not goingto hydrate you, Valdez said. Infact, excessive alcohol and caf-feine consumption actually cancause dehydration. Alcohol andcaffeine are diuretics and cancause your body to lose fluids.

“While you are out at thebeach or hanging by the pool,the best way to hydrate your-self is to simply drink water,”Valdez said.
