ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
In this study, we assessed plasma biomarkers to identify cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients by applying ultra-sensitive immunomagnetic reduction-based immunoassay (IMR).METHODS:
The study enrolled 60 PD patients and 28 age- and sex-matched normal controls. Complete cognitive function assessments were performed on participants using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Clinical Dementia Rating. PD patients with an MMSE score of â¦26 were defined as having cognitive impairment. Meanwhile, a 99mTc-TRODAT-1 scan was performed and plasma levels of Aß-40, Aß-42, T-tau, and α-synuclein were evaluated using IMR, subsequent correlation analyses were then performed.RESULTS:
Compared with normal adults, PD patients have higher plasma levels of α-synuclein and T-tau, and a lower level of Aß-40 (p < 0.05). Plasma levels of α-synuclein (r = -0.323, p = 0.002), Aß-40 (r = 0.276, p = 0.01), and T-tau (r = -0.322, p = 0.002) are significantly correlated with MMSE scores. The TRODAT scan results, including visual inspection and quantification, revealed significant correlations between Aß-40 and PD. Multiple regression analysis showed that the plasma levels of Aß-40 (OR = 0.921, 95% CI = 0.879-0.962), α-synuclein (OR = 3.016, 95% CI = 1.703-5.339), and T-tau (OR = 1.069, 95% CI = 1.026-1.115) were independently associated with PD patients with cognitive impairment. The cutoff values for predicting cognitive deficits in PD patients were 45.101 pg/ml of Aß-40, (Area under curve (AUC) = 0.791), 0.389 pg/ml of α-synuclein, (AUC = 0.790), and 30.555 pg/ml of T-tau (AUC = 0.726).CONCLUSION:
Plasma levels of α-synuclein, Aß-40, and T-tau are potential biomarkers to detect cognitive impairment in PD patients.
