Abstract
本發明提供一種用於在個體中鑑別具正常認知的帕金森氏症或帕金森氏症失智症的方法。 The present invention provides a method for identifying Parkinson's disease or Parkinson's disease dementia with normal cognition in an individual.
Description
本發明係關於一種鑑別帕金森氏症與帕金森氏症失智症的方法。 The present invention relates to a method of identifying Parkinson's disease and Parkinson's disease dementia.
帕金森氏症(Parkinson disease,PD)是阿茲海默症之外第二常見的神經退化性疾病。65歲以上的人之中有超過1%患有PD。全世界約有1000萬人患有PD。一名PD患者的直接和間接醫療照護費用估計為每年100,000美元。許多國家,特別是美國、加拿大、歐洲和澳大利亞,正在擔心醫療照護成本增加而難以維持。大量的資源和精力已投入發展PD的診斷、治療和疫苗。 Parkinson disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease outside of Alzheimer's disease. More than 1% of people over the age of 65 have PD. About 10 million people worldwide have PD. The cost of direct and indirect medical care for a PD patient is estimated at $100,000 per year. Many countries, especially the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia, are worried that the cost of medical care will increase and it will be difficult to maintain. A great deal of resources and energy has been invested in the development of diagnostic, therapeutic and vaccines for PD.
PD的臨床診斷標準為運動障礙(例如運動遲緩、齒輪狀強硬、靜止性震顫和姿勢不穩定)的觀察。雖然這些臨床特徵普遍被使用,但診斷PD有幾個致命的問題。例如,其他運動障礙(例如多系統萎縮症(multiple system atrophy)、大腦皮質基底核退化症(corticobasal degeneration)或進行性上眼神經核麻痺症(progressive supranuclear palsy))可能與PD的臨床症狀重疊,並降低診斷PD的準確性。此外,據報導,臨床症狀出現在基底核(特別是黑質)超過50%的多巴胺神經元(dopaminergic neurons)退化之後,使用臨床運動障礙的觀察對於PD的早期診斷是非常困難的。遺傳序列分析看起來是PD早期診斷較佳的方法。然而,只有10%的PD患者是遺傳性的,有百分之九十的PD患者是偶發性。 The clinical diagnostic criteria for PD are observations of dyskinesias such as bradykinesia, gear-like toughness, resting tremors, and postural instability. Although these clinical features are commonly used, there are several fatal problems in diagnosing PD. For example, other dyskinesias (such as multiple system atrophy, corticobasal degeneration, or progressive supranuclear palsy) may overlap with clinical symptoms of PD. And reduce the accuracy of the diagnosis of PD. In addition, it has been reported that clinical symptoms appear in the basal ganglia (especially the substantia nigra) more than 50% of dopaminergic neurons (dopaminergic After the deterioration of the neurons, the observation of the use of clinical dyskinesia is very difficult for the early diagnosis of PD. Genetic sequence analysis appears to be a better method for early diagnosis of PD. However, only 10% of PD patients are hereditary, and 90% of PD patients are sporadic.
PD發展為認知障礙和失智是很常見的,稱為帕金森氏症失智症(PDD)。預測PD中失智症的發展具有挑戰性,且在該領域中有重大影響。研究人員目前正在嘗試利用生物分子診斷來達成PD與PDD的鑑別。α-突觸核蛋白是PD或PDD中最常被辨識的生物標記。由於α-突觸核蛋白(α-synuclein)分子被磷酸化,磷-α-突觸核蛋白(phosphor-α-synuclein)分子彼此容易聚集而在多巴胺神經元中形成路易氏體(Lewy body)。具有路易氏體的多巴胺神經元開始退化並失去表現多巴胺的能力。大腦運動皮層的神經細胞因缺乏多巴胺而受損,造成運動障礙。 The development of PD as cognitive impairment and dementia is very common and is called Parkinson's Dementia (PDD). Predicting the development of dementia in PD is challenging and has a major impact in this area. Researchers are currently experimenting with biomolecular diagnostics to identify PD and PDD. Alpha-synuclein is the most commonly recognized biomarker in PD or PDD. Since the α-synuclein molecule is phosphorylated, the phospho-α-synuclein molecules are easily aggregated with each other to form Lewy body in dopamine neurons. . Dopamine neurons with Louise body begin to degenerate and lose the ability to exhibit dopamine. The nerve cells in the motor cortex of the brain are damaged by the lack of dopamine, causing movement disorders.
許多發現顯示,與健康受試者相比,由於PD或PDD患者有路易氏體的形成使腦脊液(CSF)中α-突觸核蛋白的濃度降低。然而,報導結果顯示血液中α-突觸核蛋白的濃度變化並不一致。血漿α-突觸核蛋白檢測結果不一致的主要原因是檢測中較差的低偵測極限。根據這些報導,目前用於測定CSF或血漿中的α-突觸核蛋白為酶聯免疫吸附測定(ELISA)。α-突觸核蛋白被表現並且大量存在於腦和脊髓中,但在週邊血液系統中則非常低。ELISA無法精確地檢測超低濃度的蛋白質,如血漿中的α-突觸核蛋白。因此,PD或PDD的生物分子診斷中利用ELISA進行α-突觸核蛋白的檢測,CSF樣本比血漿更佳。 Many findings have shown that the presence of Lewy body in patients with PD or PDD reduces the concentration of alpha-synuclein in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) compared to healthy subjects. However, the results reported that the changes in the concentration of α-synuclein in the blood were not consistent. The main reason for the inconsistent detection of plasma α-synuclein is the poor detection limit in the detection. According to these reports, α-synuclein currently used for the determination of CSF or plasma is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Alpha-synuclein is expressed and abundantly present in the brain and spinal cord, but is very low in the peripheral blood system. ELISA cannot accurately detect ultra-low concentrations of proteins, such as alpha-synuclein in plasma. Therefore, the detection of α-synuclein by ELISA is used in the biomolecular diagnosis of PD or PDD, and the CSF sample is better than plasma.
而CSF通常是通過腰椎穿刺採集,具有高風險且不舒服。藉由測定CSF中的α-突觸核蛋白進行早期診斷未被一般大眾廣泛接受。另一方面,臨床上血液更容易取得。因此,需要高靈敏度的檢測技術以達成血漿中超低量α-突觸核蛋白的檢測。 CSF is usually collected by lumbar puncture and is high risk and uncomfortable. Early diagnosis by measuring alpha-synuclein in CSF has not been widely accepted by the general public. On the other hand, blood is more easily obtained clinically. Therefore, high sensitivity detection techniques are needed to achieve detection of ultra low amounts of alpha-synuclein in plasma.
因此,發明人發展一種免疫檢測技術,稱為免疫磁減量(IMR),用於定量偵測極低濃度(例如1-10pg/ml或更低)的生物分子。造成IMR超高靈敏度的主要原因是利用抗體功能化的磁性奈米粒子。這些磁性奈米粒子均勻分散在試劑中,且可以在被測樣品中的任何地方捕捉目標生物分子。此外,由於粒子為奈米級尺寸,總結合面積非常大。因此,固定在磁性奈米粒子表面上的抗體能夠非常有效地與目標生物分子結合,使得使用IMR的免疫檢測有超高靈敏度。IMR已被證明可以用於測定人血漿中的極低濃度的β-類澱粉蛋白和tau蛋白。透過檢測血漿β-類澱粉蛋白和tau蛋白,證實了健康個體與阿茲海默症造成的輕度認知障礙患者之間有明顯區別。這些結果促使我們調查檢測人血漿中極低濃度α-突觸核蛋白的可行性,以達成PD或PDD的生物分子診斷,或根據血漿α-突觸核蛋白濃度來區分PD與PDD。在本發明中,製備了利用IMR檢測α-突觸核蛋白的試劑,探討試劑的特性並檢測α-突觸核蛋白。為了比較,檢驗使用ELISA的α-突觸核蛋白的檢測特性。最後,報告了透過檢測血漿α-突觸核蛋白來鑑別PD患者、PDD患者和健康個體的初步結果。雖然在本研究中完成的橫斷性研究不能解決預測PD中PDD的進程,但結果可能指出此測量血漿α-突觸核蛋白在鑑別PD與PDD的潛在用途。 Therefore, the inventors developed an immunodetection technique called immunomagnetic depletion (IMR) for quantitative detection of biomolecules at very low concentrations (eg, 1-10 pg/ml or lower). The main cause of the ultra-high sensitivity of IMR is the use of magnetic nanoparticles functionalized by antibodies. These magnetic nanoparticles are uniformly dispersed in the reagent and can capture the target biomolecule anywhere in the sample to be tested. In addition, since the particles are of a nanometer size, the total bonding area is very large. Therefore, the antibody immobilized on the surface of the magnetic nanoparticles can be very efficiently bound to the target biomolecule, making the immunodetection using the IMR extremely sensitive. IMR has been shown to be useful for the determination of very low concentrations of beta-amyloid and tau in human plasma. By detecting plasma beta-amyloid and tau, it was confirmed that there is a clear distinction between healthy individuals and patients with mild cognitive impairment caused by Alzheimer's disease. These results prompted us to investigate the feasibility of detecting very low concentrations of alpha-synuclein in human plasma to achieve biomolecular diagnosis of PD or PDD, or to distinguish between PD and PDD based on plasma alpha-synuclein concentrations. In the present invention, an agent for detecting α-synuclein by IMR is prepared, and the characteristics of the reagent are examined and α-synuclein is detected. For comparison, the detection characteristics of α-synuclein using ELISA were examined. Finally, preliminary results of identifying PD patients, PDD patients, and healthy individuals by detecting plasma alpha-synuclein were reported. Although the cross-sectional studies completed in this study did not address the progression of PDD in PD, the results may indicate the potential use of this measured plasma alpha-synuclein to identify PD and PDD.

要求參加者提供10-ml非空腹靜脈血液樣本(K3 EDTA,紫頭試管),每個樣品都分配一個依採樣順序的註冊編號,因此,實驗室人員對個體的臨床狀況和人口統計學數據並不了解,將血液樣本在收集1小時內離心(2500g,15分鐘),將血漿等分至冷凍管,並在-80℃儲存(少於三個月)直到經IMR測量而解凍,將80-μl試劑與40-μl血漿混合以經IMR測量α-突觸核蛋白濃度,對每個血漿樣本進行重複測量。 Participants were asked to provide a 10-ml non-fasting venous blood sample (K3 EDTA, purple tube), each sample was assigned a registration number in the order of sampling, so the laboratory personnel on the individual's clinical status and demographic data Without understanding, the blood sample was centrifuged (2500 g, 15 minutes) within 1 hour of collection, plasma was aliquoted into a cryotube, and stored at -80 ° C (less than three months) until thawed by IMR measurement, 80- The μl reagent was mixed with 40-μl plasma to measure the α-synuclein concentration by IMR, and each plasma sample was repeatedly measured.
使用來自38至73歲的健康個體的9個人類血漿樣本、來自PD患者(38-85歲)的9個人類血漿樣本以及來自PDD患者(60-81歲)的14個人類血漿樣本,利用IMR進行α-突觸核蛋白檢測。使用臨床症狀來鑑別PD和PDD患者。需注意的是PD患者皆為認知正常。在接受程序前提供所有登記的受試者知情同意書,本發明由台灣大學醫院研究倫理委員會批准。 Use 9 human plasma samples from healthy individuals aged 38 to 73, 9 human plasma samples from PD patients (38-85 years old), and 14 human plasma samples from PDD patients (60-81 years old), using IMR Alpha-synuclein detection was performed.

抗體功能化磁性Fe3O4奈米粒子的流體動力學直徑的平均值為55.5nm,而粒子的流體動力學直徑的標準差為12.7nm。透過掃描電子顯微鏡的使用,得到抗體功能化磁性Fe3O4奈米粒子的直徑的平均值為~40nm。試劑為超順磁性,其飽和磁化強度為0.3emu/g。根據先前發表的文章(J Appl Phys 2013,144903-1-5),在0.3emu/g的1-ml試劑中,抗體功 能化奈米粒子的數量約為1013。在1-ml試劑中,抗體功能化磁性奈米粒子的總表面積約1000cm2。在實驗中使用80-μl試劑。對於每次檢測,在80-μl試劑中抗體功能化磁性奈米粒子的總表面積約為80cm2。與96孔ELISA板相比,每個孔的抗體和目標生物分子之間的結合面積為0.45cm2。因此,IMR的結合面積幾乎是ELISA的180倍大。 The average of the hydrodynamic diameters of the antibody-functionalized magnetic Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles was 55.5 nm, while the standard deviation of the hydrodynamic diameter of the particles was 12.7 nm. The average diameter of the antibody-functionalized magnetic Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles was ~40 nm obtained by scanning electron microscopy. The reagent was superparamagnetic and had a saturation magnetization of 0.3 emu/g. According to a previously published article (J Appl Phys 2013, 144903-1-5), the number of antibody-functionalized nanoparticles in the 1-ml reagent at 0.3 emu/g is about 10 13 . In the 1-ml reagent, the antibody functionalized magnetic nanoparticles have a total surface area of about 1000 cm 2 . 80-μl reagent was used in the experiment. For each assay, the total surface area of the antibody-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles in the 80-μl reagent was approximately 80 cm 2 . The binding area between the antibody of each well and the target biomolecule was 0.45 cm 2 compared to the 96-well ELISA plate. Therefore, the binding area of IMR is almost 180 times larger than that of ELISA.
透過測量因α-突觸核蛋白與磁性奈米粒子上的抗體之間結合產生的IMR訊號以研究固定在磁性奈米粒子上的抗體的生物活性。記錄試劑和待測溶液混合後試劑的時間依賴性交流磁化率χac,如圖1所示。製備兩個待測樣品:一個是純PBS溶液,另一個是3.1-fg/ml的α-突觸核蛋白溶液。圖中的虛線1表示試劑和PBS溶液的混合物的時間依賴性交流磁化率χac。顯然,虛線之時間性χac幾乎維持不變。然而,對於對應於試劑和3.1-fg/ml的α-突觸核蛋白溶液的混合物之實線,時間性χac在45分鐘下降,然後達到一較低的值。可觀察到因α-突觸核蛋白與磁性奈米粒子上的抗體之間結合造成試劑的交流磁化率χac顯著降低。 The biological activity of the antibody immobilized on the magnetic nanoparticles was investigated by measuring the IMR signal generated by the binding between the α-synuclein and the antibody on the magnetic nanoparticles. The time-dependent AC susceptibility χ ac of the reagent after mixing the recording reagent and the solution to be tested is shown in FIG. 1 . Two samples to be tested were prepared: one was a pure PBS solution and the other was a 3.1-fg/ml alpha-synuclein solution. The dotted line 1 in the figure indicates the time-dependent AC susceptibility χ ac of the mixture of the reagent and the PBS solution. Obviously, the temporality of the dotted line χ ac remains almost unchanged. However, for the solid line corresponding to the mixture of the reagent and the 3.1-fg/ml α-synuclein solution, the temporal χ ac decreased at 45 minutes and then reached a lower value. It was observed that the AC susceptibility χ ac of the reagent was significantly lowered due to the binding between α-synuclein and the antibody on the magnetic nanoparticle.
為了定量該試劑的交流磁化率χac的減少,根據圖1所示的時間性χac計算α-突觸核蛋白與磁性奈米粒子上的抗體之間結合之前/之後的起始/最終χac。如先前發表的論文(ACS Chem Neurosci.2011;2:500-505;J Appl Phys 2010,107:074903-1-5)所述,測定試劑的交流磁化率χac的信賴區間介於圖1所示的時間依賴性交流磁化率χac的第一和最後40-50分鐘內。在本發明中,使用第一和最後45分鐘內的試劑的交流磁化率χac的數據來測定χac的減少。 In order to quantify the decrease in the AC susceptibility χ ac of the reagent, the start/final 之前 before/after the binding between the α-synuclein and the antibody on the magnetic nanoparticle is calculated according to the temporal χ ac shown in FIG. 1 . Ac . As described in the previously published paper (ACS Chem Neurosci. 2011; 2: 500-505; J Appl Phys 2010, 107: 074903-1-5), the confidence interval of the AC susceptibility χ ac of the assay reagent is in Figure 1. The time-dependent AC susceptibility χ ac is shown in the first and last 40-50 minutes. In the present invention, the data of the AC susceptibility χ ac of the reagents in the first and last 45 minutes is used to determine the decrease in χ ac .
如圖1所示,對於PBS溶液而言,在第一和最後45分鐘的間隔之間的交流磁化率χac的p值為0.046。可觀察到與PBS混合的試劑的交流磁化率χac略有減少。對於3.1-fg/ml的α-突觸核蛋白溶液而言,第一和 最後45分鐘間隔之間的交流磁化率χac的p值為0.007。證明在與α-突觸核蛋白溶液混合後的試劑的時間依賴性交流磁化率χac的明顯減少。 As shown in Fig. 1, for the PBS solution, the p- value of the alternating magnetic susceptibility χ ac between the first and last 45 minute intervals was 0.046. It was observed that the AC magnetic susceptibility χ ac of the reagent mixed with PBS was slightly reduced. For the 3.1-fg/ml alpha-synuclein solution, the p- value of the alternating magnetic susceptibility χ ac between the first and last 45 minute intervals was 0.007. A significant reduction in the time-dependent AC susceptibility χ ac of the reagent after mixing with the α-synuclein solution was demonstrated.
起始χac表示為χac,o,其係χac在第一45分鐘內的平均值。最終χac被稱為χac,φ,其係χac在最後45分鐘內的平均值。試劑的交流磁化率χac的減少,例如IMR訊號,係由下式得出IMR(%)=(χac,o-χac,φ)/χac,o×100% (1) The starting χ ac is expressed as χ ac,o , which is the average value of χ ac in the first 45 minutes. The final χ ac is called χ ac, φ , which is the average of the χ ac in the last 45 minutes. The reduction of the AC susceptibility χ ac of the reagent, such as the IMR signal, is obtained by the following formula: IMR(%)=(χ ac,o -χ ac,φ )/χ ac,o ×100% (1)
透過式(1),圖1中虛線及實線的IMR訊號經計算分別為1.56及2.13%,圖1中的結果顯示IMR檢測的背景值。此背景值主要由檢測系統的電子雜訊所造成。根據重複測量,PBS溶液的IMR訊號為1.56及1.65%。因此,IMR訊號的背景值為1.61%,標準差為0.06%。 Through the equation (1), the IMR signals of the dotted line and the solid line in Fig. 1 are calculated to be 1.56 and 2.13%, respectively, and the results in Fig. 1 show the background value of the IMR detection. This background value is mainly caused by the electronic noise of the detection system. The IMR signals for the PBS solution were 1.56 and 1.65% based on repeated measurements. Therefore, the background value of the IMR signal is 1.61% and the standard deviation is 0.06%.
IMR訊號為α-突觸核蛋白的濃度的函數,即IMR(%)-φα-syn曲線,係繪示於圖2。隨著α-突觸核蛋白的濃度φα-syn從3×10-4pg/ml(=0.3fg/ml)增加,IMR訊號亦增加。φα-syn依賴性IMR(%)依循以下表示的邏輯函數
式(2)中的參數A為φα-syn趨近於零時IMR(%)的值。通常,值A較背景值稍高。例如,A為1.94%而此處背景值為1.61%。A與背景值之間的差異主要是由於蛋白質分子與抗體功能性磁性奈米粒子之間結合 的動態平衡引起的雜訊。然而,A並非作為低偵測極限(low-detection limit)。通常,低偵測極限被定義為IMR訊號相較於A高出低濃度測試時IMR訊號的標準差的三倍,即,3-σ準則。在本實驗中,低濃度攝氏的標準差為0.028%。因此,低偵測極限為具有2.02%IMR訊號的濃度。經由式(2),檢測α-突觸核蛋白的低偵測極限為0.3fg/ml。 The parameter A in the formula (2) is a value of IMR (%) when φ α-syn approaches zero. Usually, the value A is slightly higher than the background value. For example, A is 1.94% and the background value here is 1.61%. The difference between A and the background value is mainly due to the noise caused by the dynamic balance of the binding between the protein molecule and the antibody functional magnetic nanoparticles. However, A is not a low-detection limit. Generally, the low detection limit is defined as three times the standard deviation of the IMR signal when the IMR signal is higher than the A and the low concentration test, that is, the 3-σ criterion. In this experiment, the standard deviation of the low concentration Celsius was 0.028%. Therefore, the low detection limit is the concentration with a 2.02% IMR signal. The low detection limit for detecting α-synuclein was 0.3 fg/ml via the formula (2).
利用ELISA在450nm處的α-突觸核蛋白濃度依賴性光吸收密度,O.D.450nm,係繪示於圖2中的十字符號。實驗數據符合邏輯函數
式(3)中的比對參數A'、B'、φo '及γ'分別為0.189、5.070、13566.08及1.44。式(3)之邏輯函數係繪示於圖2中的虛線。十字符號與虛線之間的決定係數R2為0.999。利用3-σ準則,使用ELISA檢測α-突觸核蛋白的低偵測極限為79.04pg/ml。對於檢測α-突觸核蛋白而言,IMR明顯較ELISA靈敏250,000倍,如上所述,考慮反應表面後,IMR的偵測靈敏度高於ELISA的200倍。另外1250倍可能是因為極低雜訊的磁感測器,即高Tc超導量子干涉裝置(SQUID)磁量計。高Tc SQUID磁量計顯示雜訊值為50fT/Hz1/2,其係低於單一磁性奈米粒子產生的磁訊號三個數量級。這意味著單一磁性奈米粒子因為與目標生物分子結合造成的交流磁訊號減少可以被高Tc SQUID磁量計所偵測。因此,極低雜訊的高Tc SQUID磁量計對於試劑的交流磁訊號的降低非常敏感,且在測定生物分子中顯示出超高的靈敏度。 The alignment parameters A ' , B ' , φ o ' and γ ' in the formula (3) are 0.189, 5.070, 13566.08 and 1.44, respectively. The logic function of equation (3) is shown in the dashed line in FIG. The coefficient of determination R 2 between the cross symbol and the broken line is 0.999. Using the 3-σ criterion, the low detection limit for detecting α-synuclein using ELISA was 79.04 pg/ml. For the detection of α-synuclein, IMR was significantly 250,000 times more sensitive than ELISA. As mentioned above, the sensitivity of IMR detection was 200 times higher than that of ELISA after considering the reaction surface. Another 1250 times may be due to the extremely low noise magnetic sensor, the high T c superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetic meter. The high T c SQUID magnetic meter shows a noise value of 50fT/Hz 1/2 , which is three orders of magnitude lower than the magnetic signal generated by a single magnetic nanoparticle. This means that the reduction of the AC magnetic signal caused by the combination of the single magnetic nanoparticle with the target biomolecule can be detected by the high T c SQUID magnetic meter. Therefore, the very low noise high T c SQUID magnetic meter is very sensitive to the reduction of the AC magnetic signal of the reagent and exhibits an extremely high sensitivity in the determination of biomolecules.
除了低偵測極限之外,使用IMR測定α-突觸核蛋白的動態範圍也是重要的特徵。為了檢驗該動態範圍,將圖2中的實驗IMR訊號經 由式(2)轉換為α-突觸核蛋白的濃度。α-突觸核蛋白的轉換濃度係由φα-syn,IMR表示。檢驗φα-syn,IMR和φα-syn之間的相關性,如圖3所示。在圖3中,可以得到φα-syn,IMR和φα-syn之間的線性關係。根據美國食品藥物管理局(FDA)頒布的規定,圖3中線性的斜率必須在0.90和1.10之間。在圖3中,若使用對α-突觸核蛋白濃度φα-syn為0.31fg/ml至31ng/ml的φα-syn,IMR,則φα-syn,IMR-φα-syn曲線的斜率為0.77,且決定係數R2為0.991,如圖3中的點線(dotted line)所示。圖3中點線的斜率不符美國FDA的要求,用於調查檢測動態範圍的α-突觸核蛋白濃度範圍應縮小。因此,忽略圖3中最高的φα-syn,IMR,即φα-syn為31ng/ml的值。φα-syn,IMR和φα-syn之間的線性曲線在0.31~3.1ng/ml的範圍內係以虛線(dashed line)繪製於圖3。虛線的斜率為1.48,且決定係數R2為0.999,虛線的斜率遠高於美國FDA的要求。看起來圖3中第二高的φα-syn,IMR也應該被忽略。φα-syn,IMR和φα-syn之間的線性曲線在0.31fg/ml至310pg/ml的範圍內係以實現繪示於圖3。實線的斜率為0.93,且決定係數R2為0.999。值得注意的是,實線的斜率符合美國FDA的要求。因此,IMR檢測的α-突觸核蛋白濃度的動態範圍為0.3fg/ml至310pg/ml。 In addition to the low detection limit, the use of IMR to determine the dynamic range of alpha-synuclein is also an important feature. To test this dynamic range, the experimental IMR signal in Figure 2 was converted to the concentration of alpha-synuclein via equation (2). The conversion concentration of α- synuclein is represented by φ α-syn, IMR . Verify the correlation between φ α-syn, IMR and φ α-syn as shown in Figure 3. In Fig. 3, a linear relationship between φ α-syn, IMR and φ α-syn can be obtained. According to regulations issued by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the slope of the linearity in Figure 3 must be between 0.90 and 1.10. In Fig. 3, if φ α-syn, IMR is used for the α-synuclein concentration φ α-syn of 0.31 fg/ml to 31 ng/ml, then φ α-syn, IMR -φ α-syn curve The slope was 0.77 and the coefficient of determination R 2 was 0.991, as shown by the dotted line in FIG. The slope of the dotted line in Figure 3 does not meet the requirements of the US FDA, and the range of α-synuclein concentrations used to investigate the dynamic range of detection should be reduced. Therefore, the highest φ α-syn, IMR in Fig. 3 is ignored, i.e., φ α-syn is a value of 31 ng/ml. The linear curve between φ α-syn, IMR and φ α-syn is plotted in Figure 3 as a dashed line in the range of 0.31 to 3.1 ng/ml. The slope of the dotted line is 1.48, and the coefficient of determination R 2 is 0.999. The slope of the dotted line is much higher than the requirements of the US FDA. It seems that the second highest φ α-syn in Figure 3 , IMR should also be ignored. The linear curve between φ α-syn, IMR and φ α-syn is in the range of 0.31 fg/ml to 310 pg/ml to achieve the effect shown in Figure 3. The slope of the solid line is 0.93, and the coefficient of determination R 2 is 0.999. It is worth noting that the slope of the solid line meets the requirements of the US FDA. Therefore, the dynamic range of α-synuclein concentration detected by IMR is from 0.3 fg/ml to 310 pg/ml.
圖2中所示的數據證明IMR測定非常靈敏且可能可以偵測人類血漿中的α-突觸核蛋白。先前研究採集來自9個健康個體、9個PD患者和14個PDD患者的血漿樣本,利用IMR區分健康個體、PD患者及PDD患者。所收集的33個受試者的人口統計資訊列於表1中。人類血漿中α-突觸核蛋白的偵測濃度φα-syn,IMR顯示於圖4中。PDD患者的血漿φα-syn,IMR範圍為0.1至100pg/ml,而健康個體的血漿φα-syn,IMR遠低於0.1pg/ml。PD患者的血漿φα-syn,IMR則分佈於健康個體及PDD患者的值之間。健康個體及PD患者之間血漿φα-syn,IMR的p值為0.005,顯示與健康個體相比,PD患者 血漿α-突觸核蛋白濃度較高的事實。在圖4中,可觀查到PD患者和PDD患者之間血漿φα-syn,IMR的明顯區別(p<0.001)。根據圖4的結果,血漿α-突觸核蛋白濃度在健康個體罹患PD並進展為PDD時持續上升。值得注意的是,健康個體和PD患者之間(p>0.05)以及PD患者和PDD患者之間(p>0.05)的年齡相符。 The data shown in Figure 2 demonstrates that the IMR assay is very sensitive and may be able to detect alpha-synuclein in human plasma. Previous studies collected plasma samples from 9 healthy individuals, 9 PD patients, and 14 PDD patients, using IMR to distinguish healthy individuals, PD patients, and PDD patients. The demographic information of the 33 subjects collected is listed in Table 1. The detection concentration of α- synuclein in human plasma is φ α-syn, IMR is shown in Figure 4. The plasma φ α-syn, IMR range of PDD patients is 0.1 to 100 pg / ml, while the plasma φ α-syn, IMR of healthy individuals is much lower than 0.1 pg / ml. The plasma φ α-syn and IMR of PD patients were distributed between healthy individuals and patients with PDD. The p- value of plasma φ α-syn, IMR between healthy individuals and PD patients was 0.005, indicating the fact that the plasma α-synuclein concentration was higher in PD patients than in healthy individuals. In Figure 4, a significant difference in plasma φ α-syn, IMR between PD patients and PDD patients was observed ( p < 0.001). According to the results of Figure 4, plasma alpha-synuclein concentrations continue to rise in healthy individuals with PD and progress to PDD. It is worth noting that the age between healthy individuals and PD patients ( p > 0.05) and between PD patients and PDD patients ( p > 0.05) is consistent.
先前研究顯示α-突觸核蛋白會透過胞吐作用由神經元釋放至體液中,包括CSF和血漿,這有助於腦中α-突觸核蛋白病理學的細胞間傳遞。許多研究集中在檢查PD患者的血漿樣本中全部或寡聚α-突觸核蛋白的值,並與健康對照組相比較,但結果是相互矛盾的。由於磷酸化和纖維狀的α-突觸核蛋白是蛋白質的主要病理形態,最近的一項研究發現,與對照組相比,早期PD無失智的樣本中磷酸-α-突觸核蛋白在血漿的值較高,這些觀察結果顯示,α-突觸核蛋白在血漿的值(全部或者是寡聚或磷酸化形式)可能部分反映PD患者腦中的α-突觸核蛋白病理學的可行性和潛力。此外,皮質路易氏體/神經炎病理學在PDD中比在沒有失智症的PD中更廣泛,這意味著血漿中α-突觸核蛋白負荷在PDD中比在PD中更嚴重。我們的結果支持此一假設:血漿α-突觸核蛋白的值在PDD中顯著高於具有正常 認知的PD,其值略高於健康對照組。而阿茲海默症失智症的病理學特徵:類澱粉蛋白β斑塊和tau神經元纖維纏結亦可被觀察到,並與PDD患者的認知狀態相關聯,未來的研究需要合併評估PDD患者的磷酸-α-突觸核蛋白、類澱粉蛋白β、血漿中全部和磷-tau的值,以對PDD的病理生理學有更佳的理解。 Previous studies have shown that alpha-synuclein is released from neurons into body fluids through exocytosis, including CSF and plasma, which contributes to intercellular transmission of alpha-synuclein pathology in the brain. Many studies have focused on examining the value of all or oligomeric alpha-synuclein in plasma samples from PD patients and comparing them to healthy controls, but the results are contradictory. Since phosphorylation and fibrillar alpha-synuclein are the major pathological forms of proteins, a recent study found that phospho-α-synuclein in early PD-deficient samples was compared to the control group. Higher plasma values, these observations suggest that alpha-synuclein values in plasma (either in either oligomeric or phosphorylated form) may partially reflect the feasibility of alpha-synuclein pathology in the brains of PD patients. Sex and potential. Furthermore, cortical Louise/neuritis pathology is more extensive in PDD than in PD without dementia, which means that alpha-synuclein loading in plasma is more severe in PDD than in PD. Our results support the hypothesis that plasma alpha-synuclein values are significantly higher in PDD than normal The cognitive PD has a slightly higher value than the healthy control group. Pathological features of Alzheimer's dementia: amyloid beta plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles can also be observed and associated with cognitive status in patients with PDD, and future studies need to be combined to assess PDD The patient's phospho-α-synuclein, amyloid-like beta, total plasma and phospho-tau values are better understood for the pathophysiology of PDD.
在血漿樣本中,異嗜性抗體是主要造成混淆的因素,並且會干擾三明治ELISA法的檢測結果。根據臨床與實驗室標準協會(CLSI-EP-A2:臨床化學干擾試驗)的準則,異嗜性抗體(HA)係定義為免疫測定的常見的干擾物質之一。IMR方法與先前研究的ELISA相比,具有低干擾和高專一性的效果,其選擇的機制是基於由試劑中振盪的磁性奈米粒子產生的離心力,先前研究已對詳細內容加以討論。事實上,不只HA,血漿中經常使用的藥物之自然存在的生物分子透過該選擇機制也會防止與磁性奈米粒子結合。這使IMR成為用於帕金森氏症血漿生物標記的臨床分析之高度專一性的方法。 In plasma samples, heterophilic antibodies are a major confounding factor and can interfere with the detection of sandwich ELISA. According to the guidelines of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Association (CLSI-EP-A2: Clinical Chemical Interference Test), heterophilic antibodies (HA) are defined as one of the common interfering substances in immunoassays. The IMR method has a low interference and high specificity compared to the previously studied ELISA, and the mechanism of selection is based on the centrifugal force generated by the magnetic nanoparticles oscillated in the reagent, which has been discussed in the prior studies. In fact, not only HA, the naturally occurring biomolecules of drugs that are often used in plasma, but also the binding of magnetic nanoparticles can be prevented by this selection mechanism. This makes IMR a highly specific method for clinical analysis of Parkinson's disease biomarkers.
臨床上,患者首先被診斷患有PD,而在疾病的後期階段可能發展為失智症因而被診斷為PDD。因此,可預測或診斷PD個體之PDD早期進程的生物標記確實具有臨床意義。根據圖7的結果,PDD患者中血漿α-突觸核蛋白的值明顯高於PD患者(p<0.001),這意味著血漿α-突觸核蛋白有望用作監測PD患者之PDD進程的臨床參數。 Clinically, the patient is first diagnosed with PD, and may develop into dementia at a later stage of the disease and is therefore diagnosed with PDD. Therefore, biomarkers that predict or diagnose the early course of PDD in PD individuals do have clinical implications. According to the results in Figure 7, the plasma alpha-synuclein value was significantly higher in patients with PDD than in PD patients ( p < 0.001), which means that plasma alpha-synuclein is expected to be used as a clinical monitor for PDD progression in PD patients. parameter.
藉由將抗α-突觸核蛋白的抗體固定在磁性奈米粒子上,開發用於測定α-突觸核蛋白的試劑。透過高Tc SQUID磁量計利用免疫磁減量(IMR),測定α-突觸核蛋白的動態範圍為0.3fg/ml至310pg/ml。將以超靈敏度SQUID為基礎的IMR應用於測定人類血漿α-突觸核蛋白,初步結果顯示,健康個體、PD患者和PDD患者之間的血漿α-突觸核蛋白濃度有 明顯差異,此方法看起來有希望藉由測定血漿α-突觸核蛋白將IMR應用於PD和PDD的診斷。 An agent for measuring α-synuclein was developed by immobilizing an antibody against α-synuclein on magnetic nanoparticles. The dynamic range of α-synuclein was determined to be from 0.3 fg/ml to 310 pg/ml by immunomagnetic depletion (IMR) using a high T c SQUID magnetic meter. The ultra-sensitivity SQUID-based IMR was applied to the determination of human plasma alpha-synuclein. Preliminary results showed significant differences in plasma alpha-synuclein concentrations between healthy individuals, PD patients, and PDD patients. It seems promising to apply IMR to the diagnosis of PD and PDD by measuring plasma alpha-synuclein.
