Potassium Channels in Parkinson's Disease: Potential Roles in Its Pathogenesis and Innovative Molecular Targets for Treatment.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by selective loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) region of the midbrain. The loss of neurons results in a subsequent reduction of dopamine in the striatum, which underlies the core motor symptoms of PD. To date, there are no effective treatments to stop, slow, or reverse the pathologic progression of dopaminergic neurodegeneration. This unfortunate predicament is because of the current early stages in understanding the biologic targets and pathways involved in PD pathogenesis. Ion channels have become emerging targets for new therapeutic development for PD due to their essential roles in neuronal function and neuroinflammation. Potassium channels are the most prominent ion channel family and have been shown to be critically important in PD pathology because of their roles in modulating neuronal excitability, neurotransmitter release, synaptic transmission, and neuroinflammation. In this review, members of the subfamilies of voltage-gated K+ channels, inward rectifying K+ channels, and Ca2+-activated K+ channels are described. Evidence of the role of these channels in PD etiology is discussed together with the latest views on related pathologic mechanisms and their potential as biologic targets for developing neuroprotective drugs for PD. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, featuring progressive degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain. It is a multifactorial disease involving multiple risk factors and complex pathobiological mechanisms. Mounting evidence suggests that ion channels play vital roles in the pathogenesis and progression of PD by regulating neuronal excitability and immune cell function. Therefore, they have become "hot" biological targets for PD, as demonstrated by multiple clinical trials of drug candidates targeting ion channels for PD therapy.
