Reference Genes/Cells of Interest Results
Adenosine A2A Receptor (A2AR) [35] 1976T/T and 2592Tins/Tins genotypes Independent coffee-PD association of the A2A 2592C > Tins (rs3032740) polymorphism
[36] Cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) ≠Coffee-PD associations
[37] Four A2AR (rs5751876, rs71651683, rs3032740 and rs5996696) and three CYP1A2 (rs762551, rs2472304 and rs2470890) Strong coffee-PD association among CYP1A2 variant allele rs762551 and rs2470890
Estrogen receptor (ESR) genes [38] Estrogen receptor alpha (ESR1), Estrogen receptor beta (ESR2) ↑ PD risk among female with rs762551 polymorphism of CYP1A2
Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS) [39] NOS2A rs944725 Significant inverse interaction between caffeine consumption and the NOS2A rs944725
Familial Parkinsonism genetic susceptibility loci [40] 10 genome-wide association studies (GWAS) SNPs at or near the alpha-synuclein (SNCA), MAPT, LRRK2, and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) loci ≠ significant interactions of caffeine intake with several SNPs at or near the SNCA, MAPT, and HLA loci
[41] SNCA, MAPT and LRRK2 Significant pairwise interaction has been observed between coffee drinking and MAPT H1/H2 haplotype (rs16940806)
Bone marrow stromal cell antigen 1 (BST1) [42] BST1 SNPs rs11931532, rs12645693, and rs11724635 ≠ significant associations between BST1 SNPs rs11931532, rs12645693, and rs11724635 and the risk of sporadic PD
Glutamate receptor gene (GRIN2A) [43] rs4998386 Significant interactions from rs4998386 and the neighboring SNPs in GRIN2A
[44] Glutamate receptor gene (GRIN2A) rs4998386 Heavy caffeine intake & GRIN2A_rs4998386_TC genotype was associated with a ↓ 64% risk reduction
Strong significant GRIN2A_rs4998386 genotype ∗ caffeine interaction
Apolipoprotein E (APOE) [45] Genetic polymorphisms of APOE ε2/ε3/ε4, repeat polymorphism (REP1) in the promoter region of the SNCA, MAPT H1/H2 and ubiquitin carboxy-terminal esterase L1 (UCHL1) S18Y Inverse association between coffee drinking and APOE genotype
Most dramatic PD risk in APOE ε2-carriers
Adenosine A2A Receptor (A2AR) [46,47] CYP1A2 and dopamine transporter (DAT) Coffee-PD partially associated by CYP1A2, A2AR and DAT
Toxicant responsive genes [48] 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (CYP1A1), p-Nitrophenol O-hydroxylase (CYP2E1), glutathione-S-transferase ya (GST-ya), glutathione-S-transferase yc (GST-yc), glutathione S-transferase alpha 4 (GSTA4-4), vesicular monoamine transporter-2 (VMAT-2) and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) MPTP significantly attenuated CYP1A1 and VMAT-2, and augmented CYP2E1, GST-ya, GST-yc and GSTA4-4 expressions and activities
Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS) [49] NOS2A rs944725 ↑ microglial activation and iNOS expression by boosting p38 and ERK1/2 MAP kinase activities
Cytochrome oxidase (Cox) expressions [50] Cytochrome oxidase 1 (Cox1), cytochrome oxidase 4 (Cox4), cytochrome oxidase 7c (Cox7c) ↑ Cox1, Cox4 and Cox7c in the striatum of male mice, but not in female mice after receiving a single dose of caffeine
↑ Cox7c mRNA expression in the striatum and in PC-12 cells
Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) [51] Human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells (Pretreatment of SH-SY5Y cells with kahweol) Pretreatment of SH-SY5Y cells with kahweol significantly reduced 6-OHDA-induced generation of ROS and caspase-3 activation. Protects against 6-OHDA-induced neuronal cell death. Kahweol activated the induction of Nrf2 and HO-1 expression via the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and p38 pathway
[52,53] Human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells ↑ mitochondrial protection in SH-SY5Y cells exposed to H2O2
↓ oxidative stress markers
↓ production of ROS
