Differential proteomic analysis of serum exosomes reveals alterations in progression of Parkinson disease.

ABSTRACT: Exosomes are nanometer-sized vesicles with intercellular communication functions, and their encapsulated proteins may participate in the pathological process of neurodegenerative disorders. The aim of this study was to identify the protein changes of serum exosomes in Parkinson disease (PD) patients with different disease progress types, and to identify potential biomarkers. The exosomes of PD patients with different severity and healthy control group were isolated from serum. The exosome proteins were analyzed by mass spectrometry with label-free quantitative proteomics. A total of 429 proteins were identified, of which 14 were significantly different in mild and severe PD patients. The expression levels of 7 proteins, including pigmented epithelium-derived factor, afamin, apolipoprotein D and J, were significantly increased in PD patients. The expression levels of 7 proteins, including complement C1q and protein Immunoglobulin Lambda Variable 1-33 (IGLV1-33)Cluster -33, were decreased in PD patients. These differentially expressed proteins were analyzed by gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis, which confirmed that the interaction between prion diseases and ECM receptors was the most significant pathways of enrichment. The changes of proteins and pathways may be related to the pathophysiological mechanism of PD. Therefore, some of these proteins could be considered as potential biomarkers for early PD diagnosis.

Project description:Rice hull, the outer cover of the rice grain, determines grain shape and size. Changes in the rice hull proteome in different growth stages may reflect the underlying mechanisms involved in grain development. To better understand these changes, isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitative (iTRAQ) MS/MS was used to detect statistically significant changes in the rice hull proteome in the booting, flowering, and milk-ripe growth stages. Differentially expressed proteins were analyzed to predict their potential functions during development. Gene ontology (GO) terms and pathways were used to evaluate the biological mechanisms involved in rice hull at the three growth stages. In total, 5,268 proteins were detected and characterized, of which 563 were differentially expressed across the development stages. The results showed that the flowering and milk-ripe stage proteomes were more similar to each other (r=0.61) than either was to the booting stage proteome. A GO enrichment analysis of the differentially expressed proteins was used to predict their roles during rice hull development. The potential functions of 25 significantly differentially expressed proteins were used to evaluate their possible roles at various growth stages. Among these proteins, an unannotated protein (Q7X8A1) was found to be overexpressed especially in the flowering stage, while a putative uncharacterized protein (B8BF94) and an aldehyde dehydrogenase (Q9FPK6) were overexpressed only in the milk-ripe stage. Pathways regulated by differentially expressed proteins were also analyzed. Magnesium-protoporphyrin IX monomethyl ester [oxidative] cyclase (Q9SDJ2), and two magnesium-chelatase subunits, ChlD (Q6ATS0), and ChlI (Q53RM0), were associated with chlorophyll biosynthesis at different developmental stages. The expression of Q9SDJ2 in the flowering and milk-ripe stages was validated by qRT-PCR. The 25 candidate proteins may be pivotal markers for controlling rice hull development at various growth stages and chlorophyll biosynthesis pathway related proteins, especially magnesium-protoporphyrin IX monomethyl ester [oxidative] cyclase (Q9SDJ2), may provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms of rice hull development and chlorophyll associated regulation.

Project description:Disruption of brain circuits is one of the core mechanisms of Parkinson's disease (PD). Understanding structural connection alterations in PD is important for effective treatment. However, due to methodological limitations, most studies were unable to account for confounding factors such as crossing fibers and were unable to identify damages to specific fiber tracts. In the present study, we aimed to demonstrate tract-specific white matter structural changes in PD patients and their relationship with clinical symptoms. Ninety-eight PD patients, divided into early (ES) and middle stage (MS) groups, and 76 healthy controls (HCs) underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging scans and clinical assessments. Fixel-based analysis was used to investigate fiber tract alterations in PD patients. Compared to HCs, the PD patients showed decreased fiber density (FD) in the corpus callosum (CC), increased FD in the cortical spinal tract (CST), and increased fiber-bundle cross-section (FC, log-transformed: log-FC) in the superior cerebellar peduncle (SCP). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed significant differences in FD in the CST and log-FC in the SCP among the three groups. Post-hoc analysis revealed that the mean FD values of the CST were higher in ES and MS patient groups compared to HCs, and the mean log-FC values of the SCP were higher in ES and MS patient groups compared to HCs. Additionally, the FD values of the CC in PD patients were negatively correlated with the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale part-III (UPDRS-III) scores (r = -0.257, p = 0.032), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale 17 Items (HAMD-17) scores (r = -0.230, p = 0.033), and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) scores (r = -0.248, p = 0.032). Moreover, log-FC values of the SCP (r = 0.274, p = 0.028) and FD values of the CST (r = 0.384, p < 0.001) were positively correlated with the UPDRS-III scores. We concluded that PD patients had both decreased and increased white matter integrity within specific fiber bundles. Additionally, these white matter alterations were different across disease stages, suggesting the occurrence of complex pathological and compensatory changes during the development of PD.
