Direct quantification of CSF α-synuclein by ELISA and first cross-sectional study in patients with neurodegeneration
Abstract
Because accumulation of alpha-synuclein (alphaS) in the brain is a hallmark of Parkinson disease (PD) and related disorders, we examined its occurrence in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Following affinity enrichment and trypsin digestion of CSF collected from a neurologically healthy donor, we identified several alphaS-derived peptides by mass spectrometry. The concentration of alphaS amounted to <0.001% of the CSF proteome. We then built, validated and optimized a sandwich-type, enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay (ELISA) to measure total alphaS levels in unconcentrated CSF. In a cross-sectional study of 100 living donors, we examined cell-free CSF samples from subjects clinically diagnosed with advanced PD, dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), Alzheimer disease (AD), and a group of non-neurodegenerative disease controls (NCO). In these four groups the CSF alphaS concentrations ranged from 0.8 to 16.2 pg/microl. Mean CSF alphaS values were lower in donors with a primary synucleinopathy (PD, DLB: n=57) than in the other two groups (AD, NCO: n=35; p=0.025). By contrast, living Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease patients showed markedly elevated CSF alphaS levels (n=8; mean, 300 pg/microl; p<0.001). Our results unequivocally confirm the presence of alphaS in adult human CSF. In a first feasibility study employing a novel ELISA, we found relatively low CSF alphaS concentrations in subjects with parkinsonism linked to synucleinopathy, PD and DLB. In definite prion disease cases, we recorded a marked rise in total CSF alphaS resulting from rapid cell death. Our results will likely aid future biomarker explorations in neurodegenerative conditions and facilitate target validation studies.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
