Metabolomics of sebum reveals lipid dysregulation in Parkinson’s disease

Abstract: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, which is characterised by degeneration of distinct neuronal populations, including dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra. Here, we use a metabolomics profiling approach to identify changes to lipids in PD observed in sebum, a non-invasively available biofluid. We used liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to analyse 274 samples from participants (80 drug naïve PD, 138 medicated PD and 56 well matched control subjects) and de… Show more

“…Using mummichog approach, we have shown in this study that the identified serum metabolome differences in PD have functional significance on over 20 pathways, including carnitine shuttle, vitamin E metabolism, glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, fatty acids, and aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis. In a separate study, we have demonstrated that carnitine shuttle, sphingolipids, and fatty acids pathways change in Parkinson’s sebum - these are within the 20 pathways enlisted above detected in serum in this study 14 . Energy metabolism is highly regulated by facilitation of long chain fatty acid β-oxidation.…”

“…Lactobacillus (increased in PD) is negatively correlated with a furanoic fatty acid, which is associated with cell signalling, lipid peroxidation, lipid metabolism, and lipid transport metabolism, with dietary, human, and/or bacterial origin. Half of the metabolites from the fatty acyl class were found to be overrepresented in PD in the selected PD sebum data from Sinclair et al (2021) 14 .…”

“…We add to the body of evidence with this in silico investigation involving zebrafish telomerase mutants, suggesting that the source of retinoid depletion in AD and PD is ageing-related. Interestingly, regarding our finding for skin ageing in zebrafish, lipid biomarkers have been proposed in a recent skin sebum metabolomics study in PD patients (Sinclair et al, 2021). This could be interpreted as co-ageing in brain and skin tissues, possibly allowing for cheap, non-invasive prognostic testing for PD.…”

“…Current research on biological markers of PD focuses on neuroimaging combined with biochemical markers ( Sinclair et al, 2021 ). Although a perfect biomarker has not yet been found, great progress has been made in the search for biomolecules and image types.…”
