Development of sensitive magnetic nanoparticle assisted rapid sandwich assay(s-MARSA) to monitor Parkinson's disease and Schizophrenia pharmacotherapy. Anal Biochem 2023; 667:115082. [PMID: 36796504 DOI: 10.1016/j.ab.2023.115082] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2022] [Revised: 01/30/2023] [Accepted: 02/10/2023] [Indexed: 02/17/2023]
Abstract
Parkinson's disease and Schizophrenia fall under low dopamine neurodegenerative and high dopamine psychiatric disorders respectively. Pharmacological interventions to correct mid-brain dopamine concentrations sometimes overshoots the physiological dopamine levels leading to psychosis in Parkinson's disease patients and, extra-pyramidal symptoms in schizophrenia patients. Currently no validated method is available to monitor side effects in such patients, Apolipoprotein E is one of the CSF biomarkers identified in the recent past that shows an inverse relation to mid-brain dopamine concentration. In this study, we have developed s-MARSA for the detection of Apolipoprotein E from ultra-small volume (2 μL) of CSF. s-MARSA exhibits a broad detection range (5 fg mL-1 to 4 μg mL-1) with a better detection limit and could be performed within an hour utilizing only a small volume of CSF sample. The values measured by s-MARSA strongly correlates with the values measured by ELISA. Our method has advantages over ELISA in having a lower detection limit, a broader linear detection range, shorter analysis time, and requiring a low volume of CSF samples. The developed s-MARSA method holds promise for the detection of Apolipoprotein E with clinical utility for monitoring pharmacotherapy of Parkinson's and Schizophrenia patients.

Abstract
Two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) is an elegant gel electrophoretic analytical tool for comparative protein assessment. It is based on two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2D-GE) separation of fluorescently labeled protein extracts. The tagging procedures are designed to not interfere with the chemical properties of proteins with respect to their pI and electrophoretic mobility, once a proper labeling protocol is followed. The use of an internal pooled standard makes 2D-DIGE a highly accurate quantitative method enabling multiple protein samples to be separated on the same two-dimensional gel. Technical limitations of this technique (i.e., underrating of low abundant, high molecular mass and integral membrane proteins) are counterbalanced by the incomparable separation power which allows proteoforms and unknown PTM (posttranslational modification) identification. Moreover, the image matching and cross-gel statistical analysis generates robust quantitative results making data validation by independent technologies successful.

Abstract
Two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) is an acrylamide gel electrophoresis-based technique for protein separation and quantification in complex mixtures. The technique addresses some of the drawbacks of conventional 2D polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE), offering improved sensitivity, more limited experimental variation, and accurate within-gel matching. 2D-DIGE is based on direct labeling of proteins with isobaric fluorescent dyes (known as CyDyes: Cy2, Cy3, and Cy5) prior to isoelectric focusing (IEF). Here, up to two samples and a reference pool (internal standard) can be mixed and loaded onto IEF for first dimension prior to SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate)-PAGE separation in the second dimension. After the electrophoretic run, the gel is imaged at the specific excitation wavelength for each dye, in sequence, and gel scans are recorded separately. For each individual protein spot, intensities recorded at the different wavelengths are integrated and the ratio between volumes normalized to that of the internal standard. This provides an immediate appreciation of protein amount variations under the different conditions tested. In addition, proteins of interest can still be excised and identified with conventional mass spectrometric techniques and further analyzed by other biochemical methods. In this chapter, we describe application of this methodology to separation and quantitation of protein mixtures from porcine muscle exudate, collected following centrifugation of muscle specimens (centrifugal drip) for the characterization of quality parameters of importance in meat industry.

Abstract
This chapter focuses on upstream immunodepletion of high-abundance proteins from plasma samples and subsequent analysis by fluorescence two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE). The abundances of proteins in biofluid proteomes, such as serum, plasma, saliva, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), can exceed ten orders of magnitude. This substantial dynamic range is problematic for the detection of medium and low-abundance proteins by 2D-DIGE analysis. To increase the detection, quantification, and identification of medium-low-abundance proteins, the targeted depletion of known abundant proteins with antibody columns has been successfully employed. From the literature, it is clear that the performance of abundant protein depletion with immunodepletion columns has been successful in broadening the coverage of the biofluid proteome and facilitating the identification of disease-specific biomarkers. The task for a successful biomarker strategy involves the combination of a reproducible and robust fractionation method, coupled with a highly accurate quantitative method, a task that is exemplified by combining both immunodepletion and 2D-DIGE together to discover significant proteins associated with the disease phenotype.

Abstract
Schizophrenia (SZ) is a severe progressive neurodegenerative as well as disruptive behavior disorder affecting innumerable people throughout the world. The discovery of potential biomarkers in the clinical scenario would lead to the development of effective methods of diagnosis and would provide an understanding of the prognosis of the disease. Moreover, breakthrough inventions for the treatment and prevention of this mysterious disease could evolve as a result of a thorough understanding of the clinical biomarkers. In this review, we have discussed about specific biomarkers of SZ an emphasis has been laid to delineate (1) diagnostic biomarkers like neuroimmune biomarkers, metabolic biomarkers, oligodendrocyte biomarkers and biomarkers of negative and cognitive symptoms, (2) therapeutic biomarkers like various neurotransmitter systems and (3) prognostic biomarkers. All the biomarkers were evaluated in drug-naïve (at least for 4 weeks) patients in order to achieve a clear comparison between schizophrenic patients and healthy controls. Also, an attempt has been made to elucidate the potential genes which serve as predictors and tools for the determination of biomarkers and would ultimately help in the prevention and treatment of this deadly illness.

Evaluation of α-synuclein and apolipoprotein E as potential biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid to monitor pharmacotherapeutic efficacy in dopamine dictated disease states of Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia. Neuropsychiatr Dis Treat 2019; 15:2073-2085. [PMID: 31410011 PMCID: PMC6650621 DOI: 10.2147/ndt.s205550] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2019] [Accepted: 06/05/2019] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Dopamine plays an important role in the disease pathology of Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia. These two neuropsychiatric disorders represent disease end points of the dopaminergic spectrum where Parkinson's disease represents dopamine deficit and schizophrenia represents dopamine hyperactivity in the mid-brain. Therefore, current treatment strategies aim to restore normal dopamine levels. However, during treatment patients develop adverse effects due to overshooting of physiological levels of dopamine leading to psychosis in Parkinson's disease, and extrapyramidal symptoms in schizophrenia. Absence of any laboratory tests hampers modulation of pharmacotherapy. Apolipoprotein E and α-synuclein have an important role in the neuropathology of these two diseases. The objective of this study was to evaluate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of apolipoprotein E and α-synuclein in patients with these two diseases so that they may serve as biomarkers to monitor therapy in Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia. METHODS Drug-naïve Parkinson's disease patients and Parkinson's disease patients treated with dopaminergic therapy, neurological controls, schizophrenic patients treated with antidopaminergic therapy, and drug-naïve schizophrenic patients were recruited for the study and CSF was collected. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were carried out to estimate the concentrations of apolipoprotein E and α-synuclein. Pathway analysis was done to establish a possible role of these two proteins in various pathways in these two dopamine dictated diseases. RESULTS Apolipoprotein E and α-synuclein CSF concentrations have an inverse correlation along the entire dopaminergic clinical spectrum. Pathway analysis convincingly establishes a plausible hypothesis for their co-regulation in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia. Each protein by itself or as a combination has encouraging sensitivity and specificity values of more than 55%. CONCLUSION The dynamic variation of these two proteins along the spectrum is ideal for them to be pursued as pharmacotherapeutic biomarkers in CSF to monitor pharmacological efficacy in Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia.

Abstract
AIM Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia are clinical end points of dopaminergic deficit and excess, respectively, in the mid-brain. In accordance, current pharmacological interventions aim to restore normal dopamine levels, the overshooting of which culminates in adverse effects which results in psychotic symptoms in Parkinson's disease and extra-pyramidal symptoms in schizophrenia. Currently, there are no laboratory assays to assist treatment decisions or help foresee these drug side-effect outcomes. Therefore, the aim was to discover a protein biomarker that had a varying linear expression across the clinical dopaminergic spectrum. MATERIALS AND METHODS iTRAQ-based proteomic experiments along with mass spectrometric analysis was used for comparative proteomics using cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). CSF fluid was collected from 36 patients with Parkinson's disease, 15 patients with urological diseases that served as neurological controls, and seven schizophrenic patients with hallucinations. Validation included ELISA and pathway analysis to highlight the varying expression and provide plausible molecular pathways for differentially expressed proteins in the three clinical phenotypes. RESULTS Protein profiles were delineated in CSF from Parkinson's disease patients, neurological control and schizophrenia, respectively. Ten of the proteins that were identified had a linear relationship across the dopaminergic spectrum. α-2-Macroglobulin showed to be having high statistical significance on inter-group comparison on validation studies using ELISA. CONCLUSIONS Non-gel-based proteomic experiments are an ideal platform to discover potential biomarkers that can be used to monitor pharmaco-therapeutic efficacy in dopamine-dictated clinical scenarios. α-2 Macroglobulin is a potential biomarker to monitor pharmacological therapy in Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia.
