<p>Parkinson's disease is a complex neurological ailment manifested by dopaminergic neurodegeneration in the substantia nigra of the brain. This study investigates the molecular tripartite interaction between Lewy bodies, amyloid beta, and tau protein in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. Lewy bodies which have been found as the important pathological hallmark in the degenerative neurons of Parkinson’s patients, are mainly composed of α-synuclein. The accumulation of α-synuclein has been directly and indirectly linked to the severity and degree of progression of the disease. In addition, approximately 50% of Parkinson's disease cases are also described by hyperphosphorylation of tau protein indicating its significant involvement in the disease. The study further explains how α-synuclein, tau and amyloid beta can spread via cross-seeding mechanisms and accelerate each other's aggregation leading to neuronal death. Both GSK-3β and CDK5 are involved in phosphorylation which among other effects contributes to the misfolding of both α-synuclein and tau proteins that lead to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease. Several mediators, that contribute to mitochondrial damage through elevated oxidative stress pathology are clearly described. Because of the increase in the incidence of Parkinson's disease, as predicted to be 17 million when the study was being conducted, studying these pathological mechanisms is very important in trying to establish treatments. This work contributes a path to finding a multi-target treatment regimen to alleviate the burden of this devastating disease.</p>
