Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease. It has been reported that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play important roles in several neurological diseases. However, the role and regulatory networks of circRNAs in PD are still largely unclear. In this study, we first compared the global expression level of circRNAs from patients with PD and controls using microarray, then the candidate circRNAs were validated in another PD cohort. The possible functions of these candidate circRNAs were analyzed using Gene Ontology (GO) analyses and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses, and the regulatory networks of these candidate circRNAs were constructed through circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory networks, protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks, and transcription factor-circRNA networks. The results indicated that hsa_circRNA_101275, hsa_circRNA_103730, and hsa_circRNA_038416 were significantly more highly expressed in patients with PD, while hsa_circRNA_102850 was lower expressed in patients with PD when compared with controls. A circRNA panel combining the four differentially expressed circRNA showed a high diagnostic ability to distinguish patients with PD from controls (AUC = 0.938). Furthermore, GO and KEGG analysis showed these candidate circRNAs were enriched in PI3K-Akt and MAPK signaling pathways. We established circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory networks and identified 10 hub genes (ESR1, PTEN, SHC1, IGF1R, SMAD2, KRAS, MDM2, HIF1A, BMP4, and ACVR2B) were closely related to PD by using PPI network analysis. Besides, these circRNAs were predicted to be regulated through tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-relevant transcription factors such as GATA2 and GATA3. In conclusion, our results suggest that the circRNA panel and the established circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulation networks might provide potential novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for PD.

Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate the diagnostic value of serum neurofilament light chain (NFL) in patients with clear signs of parkinsonism but whose specific diagnosis was yet uncertain.MethodsSerum samples were collected from patients with clear signs of parkinsonism but with uncertain diagnosis at the inclusion. Clinical diagnoses of Parkinson disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonism disorders (APDs) were established after 3 years of follow-up and updated again after a maximum of 12 years in case longer follow-up data were available. Serum NFL was quantified by single molecule array in patients with PD (n = 55) and APD (n = 29, multiple system atrophy = 22, progressive supranuclear palsy = 7) and 53 nonneurologic controls.ResultsSerum NFL levels were elevated and differentiated the APD group (mean 23.8 ± 10.3 ng/L) from PD (mean 10.4 ± 4.9 ng/L) and controls (mean 11.5 ± 6.5 ng/L, p < 0.0001) with accuracy levels up to 91% (sensitivity = 86% and specificity = 85%). Serum NFL strongly correlated with CSF NFL levels (r = 0.72, p < 0.0001) in all groups and with age in PD (r = 0.78, p < 0.0001) and controls (r = 0.66, p < 0.0001). In our cohort, the probability of having APD was 76% (positive predictive value) and of having PD 92% (negative predictive value).ConclusionSerum NFL levels are markedly elevated in APD compared to PD and discriminate APDs from PD with high accuracy. Serum NFL may be a useful clinical biomarker to identify APD, even at stages when clinical symptoms are not yet conclusive.Classification of evidenceThis study provides Class II evidence that serum NFL levels accurately discriminate APDs from PD.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Galectin-1 Levels Discriminate Patients with Parkinsonism from Controls. Mol Neurobiol 2018; 56:5067-5074.

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder in elderly people. Currently, the diagnosis of PD is based on neurological examination, neuroimaging, and the response to dopaminergic medication. The diagnosis can be challenging, especially at early disease stages, when the symptoms of patients with atypical parkinsonism (APD) may strongly overlap. Therefore, reliable biomarkers that are able to identify patients with PD are much needed. Here, we aimed to identify and validate new biomarkers for PD in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). We performed a profiling experiment using mass spectrometry (MS) of CSF from ten PD patients and ten matched non-neurological controls. We selected one protein, galectin-1 (Gal-1), which was differentially expressed in PD vs. controls, and quantified its concentrations in CSF by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in three new cohorts of 37 PD patients, 21 APD patients, and 44 controls. CSF levels of Gal-1 were lower in PD in both the discovery and validation experiments and discriminated PD from controls with moderate–high accuracy levels (ELISA: area under the curve = 0.7). Similar levels of Gal-1 were found in PD and APD. Gal-1 levels were correlated to age in all groups and correlated in the PD patients to CSF levels of total tau, phosphorylated tau, neurofilament light chain (NFL), and the mini-mental state examination (MMSE) score. We conclude that MS profiling of proteins may be a useful tool to identify novel biomarkers of neurological diseases and that CSF Gal-1 levels may discriminate PD from non-neurological controls.
