Read the Paper (>) GBA Pathway Biomarkers for Genetic and Idiopathic PD

The number of papers from PPMI data analysis continues to climb. PPMI researchers, led by a team at Brigham & Women’s Hospital, recently reported on potential of (i) the glucosylceramide lipid as a GBA pathway biomarker in GBA-PD and (ii) the ratio of glucosylceramide to sphingomyelin as a predictor of cognitive decline in idiopathic Parkinson’s.

Stratification by GBA pathway

markerFeasibility in CSF, SerumNormal valuesprosCons
GBA protein? Otake said he would do this assay! (to be checked!)Not yet - ↓ in GBA+PD (Ambroxol P2, ucl)
- In GBA+PD, this may have caused PD
- AAV-GBA improved PD in rodent with normal GBA (Rocha's correction)
- Our GBA activator activates WT gba too.
GBA activityThe best rationale, ?, probably not possible d/t internal standard? need to check with OtakeNot yet In GBA+PD, this may have caused PD.
In CSF, correlated with H&Y in sPD(Parnetti 2014),
(중요) GBA activity reduction is not established in every/some GBA variants!
- In peripheral cells, Not correlated with clinical variables (Atashrazm 2018, Alcaclay 2015),
- AAV-GBA improved PD in rodent with normal GBA (Rocha's correction)
- Our GBA activator activates WT gba too.
GlcCerAssay feasible,?
GlcSphNot feasible, because not detectible in CSF, Serum in GBA+PDPresent in serum, and maybe in CSF
