Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is an atypical parkinsonian syndrome based on tau pathology; its clinical phenotype differs, but PSP with Richardson's syndrome (PSP-RS) and the PSP parkinsonism predominant (PSP-P) variant remain the two most common manifestations. Neuroinflammation is involved in the course of the disease and may cause neurodegeneration. However, an up-to-date cytokine profile has not been assessed in different PSP phenotypes. This study aimed to evaluate possible differences in neuroinflammatory patterns between the two most common PSP phenotypes. Serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and IL-6 were analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits in 36 study participants-12 healthy controls and 24 patients with a clinical diagnosis of PSP-12 PSP-RS and 12 PSP-P. Disease duration among PSP patients ranged from three to six years. All participants underwent basic biochemical testing, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) values were calculated. Due to a lack of neuropathological examinations, as all patients remain alive, total tau levels were assessed in the CSF. Tau levels were significantly higher in the PSP-P and PSP-RS groups compared to the healthy controls. The lowest concentrations of serum and CSF interleukins were observed in PSP-RS patients, whereas PSP-P patients and healthy controls had significantly higher interleukin concentrations. Furthermore, there was a significant correlation between serum IL-6 levels and PLR in PSP-RS patients. The results indicate the existence of distinct neuroinflammatory patterns or a neuroprotective role of increased inflammatory activity, which could cause the differences between PSPS phenotypes and clinical course. The causality of the correlations described requires further studies to be confirmed.
进行性核上性麻痹(PSP)是一种基于tau 病理学的非典型帕金森综合征;其临床表型不同,但 Richardson 综合征(PSP-RS)和帕金森病为主型(PSP-P)变体仍然是最常见的两种表现形式。神经炎症参与了疾病的进程,并可能导致神经退行性变。然而,目前尚未在不同 PSP 表型中评估最新的细胞因子谱。本研究旨在评估两种最常见 PSP 表型之间神经炎症模式的差异。使用酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)试剂盒分析了 36 名研究参与者(12 名健康对照者和 24 名临床诊断为 PSP 的患者)的血清和脑脊液(CSF)中白细胞介素-1β(IL-1β)和 IL-6 浓度。PSP 患者的疾病持续时间从 3 年到 6 年不等。所有参与者均接受了基本生化检测,并计算了中性粒细胞与淋巴细胞比值(NLR)和血小板与淋巴细胞比值(PLR)。由于缺乏神经病理学检查,所有患者仍存活,因此评估了 CSF 中的总 tau 水平。与健康对照组相比,PSP-P 和 PSP-RS 组的 tau 水平明显更高。PSP-RS 患者的血清和 CSF 白细胞介素浓度最低,而 PSP-P 患者和健康对照组的白细胞介素浓度明显更高。此外,PSP-RS 患者的血清 IL-6 水平与 PLR 之间存在显著相关性。研究结果表明存在不同的神经炎症模式或增加的炎症活性的神经保护作用,这可能导致 PSP 表型和临床病程的差异。描述的相关性的因果关系需要进一步研究来证实。
