| 摘要: | Background: The most established pathognomonic protein of Parkinson's disease (PD), alpha-synuclein, is extensively investigated for disease diagnosis and prognosis; however, investigations into whether the free form of alpha-synuclein in the blood functions as a PD biomarker have not been fruitful. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted from cells and present in blood transport molecules are novel platforms for biomarker identification. In blood EVs, alpha-synuclein originates predominantly from the brain without the interference of the blood-brain barrier. The present study investigated the role of plasma EV-borne alpha-synuclein as a biomarker of PD. Methods: Patients with mild to moderate stages of PD (n = 116) and individuals without PD (n = 46) were recruited to serve as the PD study group and the control group, respectively. Plasma EVs were isolated, and immunomagnetic reduction-based immunoassay was used to assess EV alpha-synuclein levels. Conventional statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 25.0, and p < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: Compared with controls, we observed significantly lower plasma EV alpha-synuclein levels in the patients with PD (PD: 56.0 +/- 3.7 fg/mL vs. control: 74.5 +/- 4.3 fg/mL, p = 0.009), and the significance remained after adjustment for age and sex. Plasma EV alpha-synuclein levels in the patients with PD did not correlate with age, disease duration, Part I and II scores of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), or the Mini-Mental State Examination scores. However, such levels were significantly correlated with UPDRS Part III score, which assesses motor dysfunction. Furthermore, the severity of akinetic-rigidity symptoms, but not tremor, was inversely associated with plasma EV alpha-synuclein level. Conclusion: Plasma EV alpha-synuclein was significantly different between the control and PD group and was associated with akinetic-rigidity symptom severity in patients with PD. This study corroborates the possible diagnostic and subtyping roles of plasma EV alpha-synuclein in patients with PD, and it further provides a basis for this protein's clinical relevance and feasibility as a PD biomarker. |
