Lack of Association Between PLA2G6 Genetic Variation and Parkinson's Disease: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: Background:The phospholipase A2 Group 6 (PLA2G6, also known as PLA2, PARK14, and iPLA2) gene encodes a group VIA calcium-independent phospholipase A2. Genetic polymorphism of PLA2G6 has been indicated to be involved in conferring susceptibility for Parkinson's disease (PD), whereas conclusive results have not been obtained. Thus, we intended to conduct a systematic review to determine if PLA2G6 genetic variation confers a greater susceptibility to PD. Methods:All case-control studies that investigated the association of the PLA2G6 polymorphisms with the risk of PD published before 15 July 2018 were included. The literature was comprehensively searched and identified in five English databases (EBSCO, Pubmed, OVID, EMBASE and ISI Web of Knowledge) and four Chinese databases (Wanfang database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, China Academic Journals Database and VIP database). We performed analyses of study characteristics, heterogeneity, and forest plot in analyses analogous to dominant, codominant and additive models with the pooled odds ratio (OR) in fixed- or random-effects models as the measure of association. Results:A total of 664 potentially relevant studies were retrieved with the initial search, of which eight studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria, and included 2,779 PD patients and 3,291 control participants,. Among all the reported 27 genetic variants, 15 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were present only in patients, and only five available SNPs (rs2267369, rs140758033, c.1959T>A (Gly653Gly), rs76718524, rs199935023) were pooled in the meta-analysis. However, there was no evidence for a significant association between the five SNPs and PD risk in dominant, codominant and allele models, suggesting a lack of association between PLA2G6 genetic variation and PD susceptibility. Conclusion:The present study assessed the association of PLA2G6 genetic polymorphism with the risk PD, and the result strongly demonstrates that PLA2G6 polymorphism is not associated with PD susceptibility.

Project description:Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are two common chronic diseases worldwide, and any potential link between the two would significantly impact public health practice. Considering the current inconsistent evidence, we conducted a meta-analysis and systematic review to examine the risk of PD in patients with RA. Methods Two investigators (DL and XH) conducted a comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science using medical subject headings terms combined with free words to identify relevant papers published from inception through December 31, 2021. All studies that explored the relationship between RA and PD were included for quantitative analysis and qualitative review. Random- and fixed-effects models were used to pool the risk ratios (RRs) of PD in patients with RA. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used to assess the quality of included studies. This study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA 2020) guideline. Results Four population-based studies involving 353,246 patients and one Mendelian randomized study were included in our study. The pooled result showed a significantly reduced risk of PD in patients with RA than in the general population (RR = 0.74, 95% CI: 0.56-0.98, P = 0.034). No apparent effects of gender, age, region, follow-up time, or study design on PD risk were observed. Sensitivity analysis showed that pooled results were relatively stable, and no publication bias was detected. The Mendelian randomization study indicated a significant inverse association between RA and PD (genetic correlation: −0.10, P = 0.0033) and that each one standard deviation increase in the risk of RA was significantly associated with a lower risk of PD. Of note, the current study is limited by the relatively small number of included studies and unmeasured confounding factors, especially for RA-related anti-inflammatory agents. Conclusions This study supports that people with RA had a lower PD risk than those without RA. Further studies are needed to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms of the interaction between the two diseases.

Project description:Importance. Biological markers of Parkinson’s disease are essential for achieving disease modification. Objective. To determine the association of SNCA blood transcript levels with prevalence of Parkinson’s disease. Background. The SNCA locus is preferentially transcribed in neurons and blood cells. Non-coding genetic variants and neuronal aggregates of α-synuclein protein associate this locus with sporadic Parkinson’s disease and suggest a potential role for abnormal SNCA transcription in the disease mechanism. Here we investigated variation in intracellular SNCA gene expression and SNCA transcript isoform abundance in circulating blood cells of cases with PD and controls in a network of biobanks that represent regional, national, and international populations. Design, Setting, Participants. Three cross-sectional, case-control studies nested in observational biomarker studies. 222 cases with early-stage clinical PD and 183 controls were enrolled from 2005 to 2010 in the Harvard Biomarker Study (HBS) at two Harvard-affiliated tertiary care centers. 76 cases with dopamine transporter imaging (DAT)-confirmed PD and 42 controls were enrolled between August 2007 and December 2008 in the Blood α-Synuclein, Gene Expression and Smell Testing as Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarkers in Parkinson’s Disease Study (PROBE) study from 22 US tertiary care centers. 202 DAT-confirmed cases with de novo PD and 138 controls were enrolled in the Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) between July 2010 and November 2012 from 22 US and international tertiary care centers. Main Outcome Measures. Association of intracellular SNCA transcript abundance with PD estimated on analog and digital expression platforms. Results. Reduced levels of SNCA transcripts were associated with early-stage clinical PD, neuroimaging-confirmed PD, and untreated, neuroimaging-confirmed PD in accessible, peripheral blood cells from a total of 863 individuals. SNCA expression was reduced by 17%, 22%, and 16% in cases compared to controls in the HBS, PROBE, and PPMI study with P values of 0.004, 0.025, and 0.018, respectively, after adjusting for clinical, hematological, and processing covariates. Specific SNCA transcripts with long 3’ untranslated regions (UTR) and those skipping exon 5 are implicated in the accumulation and mitochondrial targeting of α-synuclein protein in Parkinson’s pathology. These transcript isoforms were linked to PD through digital expression analysis. Individuals in the lowest quartile of SNCA expression values had covariate-adjusted odds ratios for PD of 2.14 (95% C. I. 1.1-4.1), 4.5 (95% C. I. 1.3-15), and 2.1 (1.1-4.0) compared to individuals in the highest quartile of expression values in the HBS, PROBE, and PPMI study, respectively. Conclusions and Relevance. Reduced levels of SNCA expression, particularly of disease-relevant transcripts with extended 3’ UTR or exon 5 skipping, are associated with early-stage PD. These findings support a potential role for SNCA as a transcriptional marker of PD and may have implications for patient stratification and risk assessment.
