α-synuclein and glucocerebrosidase activity levels in GBA-associated Parkinson's disease.\nAlpha-synuclein oligomerization plays a key role in the development of Parkinson's disease (PD). Being the most common genetic contributor to PD, glucocerebrosidase 1 (GBA) mutations have been associated with decreased GBA enzymatic activity in PD patients with mutations in the GBA gene (GBA-PD). However, it is unknown whether the activities of other lysosomal hydrolases are being altered in GBA-PD patients and are accompanied by an increase in alpha-synuclein oligomerization. The aim of our study was to estimate GBA enzymatic activity as well as the activities of five other lysosomal hydrolases (galactocerebrosidase, alpha-glucosidase, alpha-galactosidase, sphingomyelinase, alpha-iduronidase) in dried blood spots with assessing plasma oligomeric alpha-synuclein levels in sporadic PD (sPD) patients, in GBA-PD patients and in controls. GBA enzymatic activity and plasma oligomeric alpha-synuclein levels were assessed in sPD patients (N=84), in GBA-PD patients (N=21) and controls (N=62) by LC-MS/MS and ELISA methods accordingly. GBA-PD patients showed lower GBA enzymatic activity compared to controls (p=0.001) and to sPD (p=0.0001). We also found the reduction of GLA enzymatic activity (but not of other lysosomal hydrolases) in GBA-PD (p=0.001). At the same time plasma oligomeric alpha-synuclein levels were increased in GBA-PD group compared to sPD and controls (p=0.002 and p\u003c0.0001, respectively). Our results suggest that the decrease in enzymatic activity of lysosomal hydrolases in GBA mutation carriers may contribute to PD pathogenesis by increasing the level of neurotoxic oligomeric alpha-synuclein species."}

Being the most common genetic contributor to PD, glucocerebrosidase 1 (GBA) mutations have been associated with decreased GBA enzymatic activity in PD patients with mutations in the GBA gene (GBA-PD). However, it is unknown whether the activities of other lysosomal hydrolases are being altered in GBA-PD patients and are accompanied by an increase in alpha-synuclein oligomerization. The aim of our study was to estimate GBA enzymatic activity as well as the activities of five other lysosomal hydrolases (galactocerebrosidase, alpha-glucosidase, alpha-galactosidase, sphingomyelinase, alpha-iduronidase) in dried blood spots with assessing plasma oligomeric alpha-synuclein levels in sporadic PD (sPD) patients, in GBA-PD patients and in controls. GBA enzymatic activity and plasma oligomeric alpha-synuclein levels were assessed in sPD patients (N=84), in GBA-PD patients (N=21) and controls (N=62) by LC-MS/MS and ELISA methods accordingly. GBA-PD patients showed lower GBA enzymatic activity compared to controls (p=0.001) and to sPD (p=0.0001). We also found the reduction of GLA enzymatic activity (but not of other lysosomal hydrolases) in GBA-PD (p=0.001). At the same time plasma oligomeric alpha-synuclein levels were increased in GBA-PD group compared to sPD and controls (p=0.002 and p\u003c0.0001, respectively). Our results suggest that the decrease in enzymatic activity of lysosomal hydrolases in GBA mutation carriers may contribute to PD pathogenesis by increasing the level of neurotoxic oligomeric alpha-synuclein species."}
