GNPS - Extended coverage of human serum glycosphingolipidome by 4D-RP-LC TIMS-PASEF unravels association with Parkinson's disease

ABSTRACT: Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are important targets in immune, infectious, lysosomal storage diseases, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. Circulatory GSL profiling in clinical samples is restricted by the lack of mid- and high-throughput analytical methods and deep coverage of long-chain sialylated glycosphingolipidome. We present a 4-dimensional (4D)-glycosphingolipidomics platform for routine glycosphingolipidome profiling encompassing: extraction and fractionation of sialylated GSLs with 3 to 15 monosaccharides, neutral GSLs and sulfatides; µL-flow reversed-phase LC-TIMS-PASEF MS analysis; semi-quantification strategy adapted for fractionated glycosphingolipidome, and referential CCS, RT, and m/z values for GSL annotation. 4D-glycosphingolipidomics of human serum reveals a high structural heterogeneity, amounting to 376 GSLs: 159 GSLs of ganglio- and neolacto-series, 145 neutral GSLs and 72 sulfatides. Here we demonstrate the platform’s utility for clinical profiling of Parkinson’s disease (PD) sera. 41 neolacto- and ganglio-species discriminate PD patients from controls and 14 GSLs differentiate sex subgroups, laying the foundation for further functional GSL studies with PD.

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.

Project description:Background: Circular RNA (circRNA) has been reported to be involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease (CVD), however, it is unclear whether circRNA carried by exosomes (exos) can be used as biomarkers for chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). This study aimed to investigate the expression pattern of exosomal circRNAs in the plasma of CCS patients, and to screen exo-circRNAs that can act as biomarkers for the diagnosis of CCS. Methods: High-throughput sequencing technology was carried out in the plasma exosomal RNA of 15 CCS patients and 15 non-cardiac chest pain patients (NCCP, control group) (sequencing cohort) to screen for differentially expressed circRNAs. Selected differentially expressed exo-circRNAs were further verified by real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in a small-sample cohort (derivation cohort) and a large-sample cohort (validation cohort). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to evaluate the diagnostic value of exo-circRNAs for CCS patients. Results: By high-throughput sequencing of circRNAs in 15 CCS patients and 15 NCCP patients, 276 circRNAs differentially expressed in plasma exosomes of CCS patients were screened by using |log2(Fold change) |>1 and q-value<0.001, and 103 were up-regulated and 173 were down-regulated. Among the 103 up-regulated circRNAs, 5 circRNAs with high expression levels and significantly increased in plasma exosomes of CCS patients were selected for validation. Twice RT-PCR validation demonstrated that exo-hsa_circ_0075269 and exo-hsa_circ_0000284 were significantly up-regulated in patients with CCS (P<0.001). Circulating exo-hsa_circ_0075269 and exo-hsa_circ_0000284 yielded the area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.761 (P<0.001, 95%CI=0.669, 0.852) and 0.623 (P=0.015, 95%CI=0.522, 0.724) for CCS, respectively by ROC curve analysis. Moreover, AUC of hsa_circ_0075269 combined with hsa_circ_0000284 for diagnosing CCS was 0.741 (P<0.001, 95%CI=0.667, 0.850). Conclusion: The expression profile of circRNA in plasma exosomes of patients with CCS was significantly different from that of the control group. Plasma exo-hsa_circ_0075269 and exo-hsa_circ_0000284 have the potential to be new biomarkers for CCS diagnosis.
