Abstract

Background: Huntington's disease (HD) is a multifaceted neurological disorder characterized by the progressive deterioration of motor, cognitive, and psychiatric functions. Despite a limited understanding of its pathogenesis, research has implicated abnormal trinucleotide cytosine-adenine-guanine CAG repeat expansion in the huntingtin gene (HTT) as a critical factor. The development of innovative strategies is imperative for the early detection of predictive biomarkers, enabling timely intervention and mitigating irreversible cellular damage. Lipidomics, a comprehensive analytical approach, has emerged as an indispensable tool for systematically characterizing lipid profiles and elucidating their role in disease pathology.

Method: A MedLine search was performed to identify studies that use lipidomics for the characterization of HD. Search terms included "Huntington disease"; "lipidomics"; "biomarker discovery"; "NMR"; and "Mass spectrometry".

Results: This review highlights the significance of lipidomics in HD diagnosis and treatment, exploring changes in brain lipids and their functions. Recent breakthroughs in analytical techniques, particularly mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy, have revolutionized brain lipidomics research, enabling researchers to gain deeper insights into the complex lipidome of the brain.

Conclusions: A comprehensive understanding of the broad spectrum of lipidomics alterations in HD is vital for precise diagnostic evaluation and effective disease management. The integration of lipidomics with artificial intelligence and interdisciplinary collaboration holds promise for addressing the clinical variability of HD.

期刊介绍： Metabolites (ISSN 2218-1989) is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal of metabolism and metabolomics. Metabolites publishes original research articles and review articles in all molecular aspects of metabolism relevant to the fields of metabolomics, metabolic biochemistry, computational and systems biology, biotechnology and medicine, with a particular focus on the biological roles of metabolites and small molecule biomarkers. Metabolites encourages scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on article length. Sufficient experimental details must be provided to enable the results to be accurately reproduced. Electronic material representing additional figures, materials and methods explanation, or supporting results and evidence can be submitted with the main manuscript as supplementary material.
