Abstract
Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the inability of dopamine production from amino acids. Therefore, changes in amino acid profile in PD patients are very critical for understanding disease development. Determination of amino acid levels in PD patients with a cumulative approach may enlighten the disease pathophysiology.
Methods: A systematic search was performed until February 2023, resulting in 733 articles in PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus databases to evaluate the serum amino acid profile of PD patients. Relevant articles in English with mean/standard deviation values of serum amino acid levels of patients and their healthy controls were included in the meta-analysis.
Results: Our results suggest that valine, proline, ornithine and homocysteine levels were increased, while aspartate, citrulline, lysine and serine levels were significantly decreased in PD patients compared to healthy controls. Homocysteine showed positive correlations with glutamate and ornithine levels. We also analyzed the disease stage parameters: Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale III (UPDRS III) score, Hoehn-Yahr Stage Score, disease duration and levodopa equivalent daily dose (LEDD) of patients. It was observed that LEDD has a negative correlation with arginine levels in patients. UPDRS III score is negatively correlated with phenylalanine levels, and it also tends to show a negative correlation with tyrosine levels. Disease duration tends to be negatively correlated with citrulline levels in PD patients.
Conclusion: This cumulative analysis shows evidence of the relation between the mechanisms underlying amino acid metabolism in PD, which may have a great impact on disease development and new therapeutic strategies.
背景:帕金森病(PD)的特征是氨基酸无法产生多巴胺。因此,PD患者氨基酸谱的变化对于了解疾病的发展非常关键。用累积法测定PD患者的氨基酸水平可能对疾病的病理生理学有启发作用。方法:系统检索PubMed, Web of Science和Scopus数据库中的733篇文章,直至2023年2月,评估PD患者的血清氨基酸谱。meta分析纳入了相关英文文章,包括患者及其健康对照血清氨基酸水平的平均值/标准差值。结果:与健康对照相比,PD患者的缬氨酸、脯氨酸、鸟氨酸和同型半胱氨酸水平升高,而天冬氨酸、瓜氨酸、赖氨酸和丝氨酸水平显著降低。同型半胱氨酸与谷氨酸和鸟氨酸水平呈正相关。我们还分析了疾病分期参数:统一帕金森病评定量表III (UPDRS III)评分、Hoehn-Yahr分期评分、病程和患者左旋多巴当量日剂量(LEDD)。观察到LEDD与患者精氨酸水平呈负相关。UPDRS III评分与苯丙氨酸水平呈负相关,与酪氨酸水平也趋于负相关。PD患者病程与瓜氨酸水平呈负相关。结论:这一累积分析证明了PD中氨基酸代谢机制之间的关系,这可能对疾病的发展和新的治疗策略有重要影响。
期刊介绍:
Canadian Neurological Sciences Federation The Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences is the official publication of the four member societies of the Canadian Neurological Sciences Federation -- Canadian Neurological Society (CNS), Canadian Association of Child Neurology (CACN), Canadian Neurosurgical Society (CNSS), Canadian Society of Clinical Neurophysiologists (CSCN). The Journal is a widely circulated internationally recognized medical journal that publishes peer-reviewed articles. The Journal is published in January, March, May, July, September, and November in an online only format. The first Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences (the Journal) was published in 1974 in Winnipeg. In 1981, the Journal became the official publication of the member societies of the CNSF.
