Gut dysbiosis leads to LPS translocation, triggering intestinal and systemic inflammation via TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling, promoting α-synuclein pathology. The peripheral gut barrier is the most viable intervention point, though CNS microglial TLR4 activation remains mechanistically tenuous. Best therapeutic approach: zonulin antagonists (larazotide) for gut barrier restoration combined with NLRP3 inflammasome inhibition rather than direct TLR4 blockade.
