Default Curcumin makes PD worse??

Would someone with more scientific knowledge than me please would read the statement below.
It's written in arcane language but seems to be saying that curcumin makes PD symptoms WORSE, or maybe I'm not reading it right. Here's the quote:

"The LRRK2 gene has emerged as the gene most commonly associated with both familial and sporadic PD. Here, we report that exposure of rat mesencephalic cells to curcumin induces the expression of LRRK2 mRNA and protein in a time-dependent manner."
