ABSTRACT
AIMS:
Neuroinflammation contributed to the pathogenesis of multiple system atrophy (MSA). We aimed to detect the correlation between inflammatory mediators, such as Klotho (Klt), vitamin D (25(OH)D) and homocysteine (Hcy), and disease severity among MSA patients.METHODS:
A total of 53 MSA patients, 65 PD patients, and 62 normal subjects were recruited in our cross-sectional study. Serum Klotho (Klt), vitamin D (25(OH)D), and homocysteine (Hcy) levels were measured. Several scales were undertaken to assess the motor/nonmotor function and cognitive impairment of MSA.RESULTS:
Decreased Serum Klt and 25(OH)D levels and increased Hcy levels were found in patients with MSA, compared with healthy controls. These results were more pronounced in male patients. The three biomarkers also displayed differences between MSA and PD subgroups based on genders. Interestingly, Klt, 25(OH)D and Hcy levels associated with cognition impairment, motor dysfunction, mood/cardiovascular disorder among MSA patients. In addition, the combination of Klt, 25(OH)D and Hcy had a better diagnostic ability for distinguishing MSA patients from healthy subjects, as well as distinguishing male MSA patients from male PD patients.CONCLUSION:
This study suggested that Klt, 25(OH)D and Hcy levels could be a potential predictor for MSA severity evaluation.Palavras-chave
