Profiling the Biochemical Signature of GBA-Related Parkinson's Disease in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells.


ABSTRACT:

Background

GBA mutations are the commonest genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD) and also impact disease progression.

Objective

The objective of this study was to define a biochemical profile that could distinguish GBA-PD from non-mutated PD.

Methods

29 GBA-PD, 37 non-mutated PD, and 40 controls were recruited; α-synuclein levels in plasma, exosomes, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells were analyzed, GCase and main GCase-related lysosomal proteins in peripheral blood mononuclear cells were measured.

Results

Assessment of plasma and exosomal α-synuclein levels did not allow differentiation between GBA-PD and non-mutated PD; conversely, measurements in peripheral blood mononuclear cells clearly distinguished GBA-PD from non-mutated PD, with the former group showing significantly higher α-synuclein levels, lower GCase activity, higher LIMP-2, and lower Saposin C levels.

Conclusion

We propose peripheral blood mononuclear cells as an easily accessible and manageable model to provide a distinctive biochemical profile of GBA-PD, potentially useful for patient stratification or selection in clinical trials. © 2021 The Authors.
