摘要

简介:自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)包括具有不同表型和病因的异质群体。确定致病亚群有助于有针对性的治疗。一个有希望的途径是研究能量代谢,因为线粒体功能障碍与ASD的一个亚群有关。乳酸作为能量代谢异常的指标,可能作为该亚群的潜在生物标志物。本研究旨在检测高功能成人ASD患者的脑乳酸(Lac+)水平,并假设与神经正常对照组(ntc)相比,Lac+的平均浓度升高。材料与方法:采用磁共振波谱法(MRS)对71例成人ASD合并NTC患者的脑组织Lac+进行研究,重点观察后扣带皮层(PCC)。质量控制后,64名ASD和58名NTC参与者保留。Lac+水平高于对照组平均值两个标准差被认为升高。结果:ASD组平均PCC Lac+水平显著高于NTC组(p = 0.028;Cohen’s d = 0.404),与0%的ntc相比,9.4%的ASD组的水平升高(p = 0.029)。血清乳酸水平与mrs衍生Lac+水平无显著相关性。局限性:由于p值为0.028,对我们的结果进行谨慎的解释是必要的。此外,由于光谱质量差,必须排除比预期比例更高的数据集。结论:本研究证实了成人ASD亚组中存在升高的脑Lac+水平,提示乳酸盐可能作为ASD亚组中线粒体功能障碍的生物标志物。低于预期的患病率(预计为20%)和适度增长需要进一步调查,以阐明潜在的机制及其与线粒体功能的关系。

Increased cerebral lactate levels in adults with autism spectrum disorders compared to non-autistic controls: a magnetic resonance spectroscopy study.

Introduction: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) encompasses a heterogeneous group with varied phenotypes and etiologies. Identifying pathogenic subgroups could facilitate targeted treatments. One promising avenue is investigating energy metabolism, as mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in a subgroup of ASD. Lactate, an indicator of energy metabolic anomalies, may serve as a potential biomarker for this subgroup. This study aimed to examine cerebral lactate (Lac+) levels in high-functioning adults with ASD, hypothesizing elevated mean Lac+ concentrations in contrast to neurotypical controls (NTCs).

Materials and methods: Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) was used to study cerebral Lac+ in 71 adults with ASD and NTC, focusing on the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC). After quality control, 64 ASD and 58 NTC participants remained. Lac+ levels two standard deviations above the mean of the control group were considered elevated.

Results: Mean PCC Lac+ levels were significantly higher in the ASD group than in the NTC group (p = 0.028; Cohen's d = 0.404), and 9.4% of the ASD group had elevated levels as compared to 0% of the NTCs (p = 0.029). No significant correlation was found between blood serum lactate levels and MRS-derived Lac+ levels.

Limitations: A cautious interpretation of our results is warranted due to a p value of 0.028. In addition, a higher than anticipated proportion of data sets had to be excluded due to poor spectral quality.

Conclusion: This study confirms the presence of elevated cerebral Lac+ levels in a subgroup of adults with ASD, suggesting the potential of lactate as a biomarker for mitochondrial dysfunction in a subgroup of ASD. The lower-than-expected prevalence (20% was expected) and moderate increase require further investigation to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and relationships with mitochondrial function.
