Colonic Oxidative and Mitochondrial Function in Parkinson's Disease and Idiopathic REM Sleep Behavior Disorder.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To determine potential mitochondrial and oxidative alterations in colon biopsies from idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) subjects.

Methods

Colonic biopsies from 7 iRBD subjects, 9 subjects with clinically diagnosed PD, and 9 healthy controls were homogenized in 5% w/v mannitol. Citrate synthase (CS) and complex I (CI) were analyzed spectrophotometrically. Oxidative damage was assessed either by lipid peroxidation, through malondialdehyde and hydroxyalkenal content by spectrophotometry, or through antioxidant enzyme levels of superoxide dismutase-2 (SOD2), glutathione peroxidase-1 (Gpx1), and catalase (CAT) by western blot. The presence of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) deletions was assessed by long PCR and electrophoresis.

Results

Nonsignificant trends to CI decrease in both iRBD (45.69 ± 18.15; 23% decrease) and PD patients (37.57 ± 12.41; 37% decrease) were found compared to controls (59.51 ± 12.52, p: NS). Lipid peroxidation was maintained among groups (iRBD: 27.46 ± 3.04, PD: 37.2 ± 3.92, and controls: 31.71 ± 3.94; p: NS). Antioxidant enzymes SOD2 (iRBD: 2.30 ± 0.92, PD: 1.48 ± 0.39, and controls: 1.09 ± 0.318) and Gpx1 (iRBD 0.29 ± 0.12, PD: 0.56 ± 0.33, and controls: 0.38 ± 0.16) did not show significant differences between groups. CAT was only detected in 2 controls and 1 iRBD subject. One iRBD patient presented a single mtDNA deletion.

Project description:ObjectiveIdiopathic rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is a prodromal stage of synucleinopathies such as Parkinson's disease (PD). Positron emission tomography (PET) with 18F-FDG reveals metabolic perturbations, which are scored by spatial covariance analysis. However, the resultant pattern scores do not capture the spatially heterogeneous trajectories of metabolic changes between individual brain regions. Assuming metabolic progression occurs as a continuum from the healthy control (HC) condition to iRBD and then PD, we investigated spatial dynamics of progressively perturbed glucose metabolism in a cross-sectional study.Methods19 iRBD patients, 38 PD patients and 19 HC subjects underwent 18F-FDG PET. The images were spatially normalized, scaled to the global mean uptake, and automatically parcellated. We contrasted regional metabolism by group, and allocated the inferred progression to one of several possible trajectories. We further investigated the correlations between 18F-FDG uptake and the disease duration in the iRBD and PD groups, respectively. We also explored relationships between 18F-FDG uptake and the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale motor (UPDRS III) scores in the PD group.ResultsPD patients exhibited more extensive relative hyper- and hypo-metabolism than iRBD patients. We identified three dynamic metabolic trajectories, cross-sectional hypo- or hypermetabolism, cross-sectionally unchanged hypo- or hypermetabolism, cross-sectionally late hypo- or hypermetabolism, appearing only in the contrast of PD with iRBD. No correlation was found between relative 18F-FDG metabolism and disease duration in the iRBD group. Regional hyper- and hypo-metabolism in the PD patients correlated with disease duration or clinical UPDRS III scores.ConclusionCerebral metabolism changes heterogeneously in a continuum extending from HC to iRBD and PD groups in this preliminary study. The distinctive metabolic trajectories point towards a potential neuroimaging biomarker for conversion of iRBD to frank PD, which should be amenable to advanced pattern recognition analysis in future longitudinal studies.

Project description:OBJECTIVE: To precisely delineate clinical risk factors for conversion from idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) to Parkinson disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and multiple system atrophy, in order to enable practical planning and stratification of neuroprotective trials against neurodegenerative synucleinopathy. METHODS: In a 10-year prospective cohort, we tested prodromal Parkinson disease markers in 89 patients with idiopathic RBD. With Kaplan-Meier analysis, we calculated risk of neurodegenerative synucleinopathy, and using Cox proportional hazards, tested the ability of prodromal markers to identify patients at higher disease risk. By combining predictive markers, we then designed stratification strategies to optimally select patients for definitive neuroprotective trials. RESULTS: The risk of defined neurodegenerative synucleinopathy was high: 30% developed disease at 3 years, rising to 66% at 7.5 years. Advanced age (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.07), olfactory loss (HR = 2.8), abnormal color vision (HR = 3.1), subtle motor dysfunction (HR = 3.9), and nonuse of antidepressants (HR = 3.5) identified higher risk of disease conversion. However, mild cognitive impairment (HR = 1.8), depression (HR = 0.63), Parkinson personality, treatment with clonazepam (HR = 1.3) or melatonin (HR = 0.55), autonomic markers, and sex (HR = 1.37) did not clearly predict clinical neurodegeneration. Stratification with prodromal markers increased risk of neurodegenerative disease conversion by 200%, and combining markers allowed sample size reduction in neuroprotective trials by >40%. With a moderately effective agent (HR = 0.5), trials with fewer than 80 subjects per group can demonstrate definitive reductions in neurodegenerative disease. CONCLUSIONS: Using stratification with simply assessed markers, it is now not only possible, but practical to include patients with RBD in neuroprotective trials against Parkinson disease, multiple system atrophy, and dementia with Lewy bodies.
