Why reduced in CSF?

phosphorylation at Ser129 → ↑ aggregation → ↑ neuronal deposition. competing processes. (Mollenhauer, 2019 #2742) Sequestration into Lewy bodies or decreased intracellular release. (whereas release from degenerating synapses/neurons could increase its CSF levels.) α-syn in PD

(Mollenhauer, 2019 #2733) The 10% to 15% decrease of CSF α-syn in PD versus controls is a consistent finding across cohorts15 with some earlier study that included IRBD had only a small number of controls 27 Despite marked overlap of individual values with HC, mean levels in PPMI HC subjects were significantly lower than HC across all visits. The reason for the decrease remains unclear. One explanation is that CSF α-syn is decreased because of intracellular aggregation of α-syn in the brain.

(King, 2022 #2779)CSF1-α-syn (SMD : -0.478, 95% CI -0.542 to -0.293), Sensitivity analysis showed that the changes of α-Synuclein in CSF was not affected by specific studies; ELISA conditions (e.g. types of antibodies and detection methods could result in inconsistencies among the published studies. However, the subgroup analysis showed that assay and control types could partially account for the obvious heterogeneity.

• intracellular aggregation on neurodegeneration in PD
• a pathological reduction in the functional activity of those neurons that normally release α-syn
• a reduced rate of SNCA gene expression or alterations of its post-translational regulation in response to PD-linked signaling event that leads to a subsequent decline in α-syn biosynthesis
(Chou, 2014 #2751)total of 12 studies, 1,151 patients, 783 controlsCSFThese Studies had highly significant heterogeneity (P < 0.0000), I² = 91%; as a random-effect model was used to calculate pooled SMD. Forest plot (Figure 3) showed that the diamond was on the left side of the vertical line and did not intersect with the line, which suggested a lower α-syn levels in PD patients than in CSF of α-syn patients with PD; (Mollenhauer ESM), sensitivity analyses revealed shorter disease duration in iPD patients (P = 0.034), and the lower median CSF total α-syn level was associated with the disease duration and severity. At the same time we compared the Coefficient of Variation (CV%) in each study. We found that the results showed that the age of patients, the type of control (HC or non) and the kits used for detection were the main factors affecting the heterogeneity. CV% was in the range of 11-37%, but compared the CV% in each detection method.

Heterophilic antibodies are a common source of variability in immunoassays [33] and have been used to exclude samples in plasma studies [34]. Although the problem of heterophilic antibodies has also been acknowledged in CSF studies [35], heterophilic antibodies were not observed in any of the 247 CSF samples analyzed here, using an arbitrary cut-off at an MFI of 150. The assays were analyzed on a Luminex 100IS instrument.
