Popis: Parkinson’s disease (PD) evolves over an extended and variable period in humans; several years prior to the onset of classical motor symptoms, cognitive deficits as well as sleep and biological rhythm disorders develop and worsen with disease progression, significantly impacting the quality of life of patients. The gold standard MPTP macaque model of PD recapitulates the progression of motor and non-motor symptoms over contracted periods of time.Here, this multidisciplinary and multiparametric study follows, in five animals, the steady progression of motor and non-motor symptoms and describes their reversal following bilateral grafts of neural precursors in diverse functional domains of the basal ganglia.Results show unprecedented recovery from cognitive symptoms in addition to a strong clinical motor recuperation. Both motor and cognitive recovery and partial circadian rhythm recovery correlate with the degree of graft integration into the host environment as well as with in-vivo levels of striatal dopaminergic innervation and function.Given inter-individuality of disease progression and recovery the present study underlines the importance of longitudinal multidisciplinary assessments in view of clinical translation and provides empirical evidence that integration of neural precursors following transplantation efficiently restores function at multiple levels in parkinsonian non-human primates.One Sentence SummaryEmpirical evidence that cell therapy efficiently reverts cognitive and clinical motor symptoms in the non-human primate model of Parkinson’s disease.
