Journal Article
α-Synuclein-specific T cell reactivity is associated with preclinical and early Parkinson’s disease
2020
Overview
A diagnosis of motor Parkinson’s disease (PD) is preceded by a prolonged premotor phase with accumulating neuronal damage. Here we examined the temporal relation between α-synuclein (α-syn) T cell reactivity and PD. A longitudinal case study revealed that elevated α-syn-specific T cell responses were detected prior to the diagnosis of motor PD, and declined after. The relationship between T cell reactivity and early PD in two independent cohorts showed that α-syn-specific T cell responses were highest shortly after diagnosis of motor PD and then decreased. Additional analysis revealed significant association of α-syn-specific T cell responses with age and lower levodopa equivalent dose. These results confirm the presence of α-syn-reactive T cells in PD and show that they are most abundant immediately after diagnosis of motor PD. These cells may be present years before the diagnosis of motor PD, suggesting avenues of investigation into PD pathogenesis and potential early diagnosis.
α-Synuclein-specific T cell reactivity is preferentially associated with Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients, but the temporal relation with diagnosis was previously unknown. This study reveals that α-syn-reactive T cells are highest before and shortly after diagnosis of motor PD, and then decrease.
