Blood transcriptomics of drug-naïve sporadic Parkinson’s disease patients

Abstract: BackgroundParkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disorder that is clinically defined in terms of motor symptoms. These are preceded by prodromal non-motor manifestations that prove the systemic nature of the disease. Identifying genes and pathways altered in living patients provide new information on the diagnosis and pathogenesis of sporadic PD.MethodsChanges in gene expression in the blood of 40 sporadic PD patients and 20 healthy controls ("Discovery set") were analyzed by takin… Show more

“…In a follow up of Calligaris et al (2015), we have taken advantage of CAGE to map TSSs in the peripheral blood of 20 drug‐naïve de novo PD patients and 20 age and sex matched healthy controls (HC). On average for each CAGE library, 7,158,414 tags were sequenced and 1,799,298 were uniquely mapped to the reference genome (Table S1).…”

“…As Calligaris et al [7] said, it is not surprising to find a very limited overlap in the identities of single genes between a study and those previously published, probably due to the complexity and heterogeneity of PD itself and differences in the cohort of patients and technical settings. Functional annotation of these DEGs in PD could contribute to exploring their precise roles in PD and further understanding the mechanism of PD at the molecular level.…”

“…Microarray studies have been valuable in identifying differential gene expression patterns and perturbed biological processes in blood of PD patients (Mutez et al, 2011; Potashkin et al, 2012; Alieva et al, 2014; Calligaris et al, 2015; Santiago and Potashkin, 2015; Santiago et al, 2016; Simchovitz et al, 2016). For example, high-throughput screening of blood RNA have provided molecular clues for some of the dysregulated pathways in PD, including the impairment of insulin signaling and glucose metabolism (Santiago and Potashkin, 2013a,b, 2015), aberrant RNA splicing (Potashkin et al, 2012; Soreq et al, 2012; Alieva et al, 2014), and inflammation (Simchovitz et al, 2016).…”

“…Since high-throughput screening of RNA from blood has been instrumental in elucidating important molecular pathways underlying neurodegeneration in PD patients (Scherzer et al, 2007; Mutez et al, 2011; Potashkin et al, 2012; Alieva et al, 2014; Calligaris et al, 2015; Santiago et al, 2016; Simchovitz et al, 2016), we hypothesized that analysis of the blood transcriptome could provide clues for the disrupted iron metabolism observed in PD patients. To this end, we performed a meta-analysis of four independent blood microarrays from PD patients and HCs.…”
