Peripheral inflammatory immune responses are suggested to play a major role in dopaminergic degeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD). The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a well-established biomarker of systemic inflammation in PD. Degeneration of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system can be assessed in vivo using [123 I]FP-CIT single photon emission computed tomography imaging of striatal dopamine transporter (DAT) density. To assess the relationship between the peripheral immune profile (NLR, lymphocytes, and neutrophils) and striatal DAT density in patients with PD. We assessed clinical features, the peripheral immune profile, and striatal [123 I]FP-CIT DAT binding levels of 211 patients with PD (primary-cohort). Covariate-controlled associations between the immune response and striatal DAT levels were assessed using linear regression analyses. For replication purposes, we also studied a separate cohort of 344 de novo patients with PD enrolled in the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI-cohort). A higher NLR was significantly associated with lower DAT levels in the caudate (primary-cohort: β = -0.01, p < 0.001; PPMI-cohort: β = -0.05, p = 0.05) and the putamen (primary-cohort: β = -0.05, p = 0.02; PPMI-cohort: β = -0.06, p = 0.02). Intriguingly, a lower lymphocyte count was significantly associated with lower DAT levels in both the caudate (primary-cohort: β = +0.09, p < 0.05; PPMI-cohort: β = +0.11, p = 0.02) and the putamen (primary-cohort: β = +0.09, p < 0.05, PPMI-cohort: β = +0.14, p = 0.01), but an association with the neutrophil count was not consistently observed (caudate; primary-cohort: β = -0.05, p = 0.02; PPMI-cohort: β = 0, p = 0.94; putamen; primary-cohort: β = -0.04, p = 0.08; PPMI-cohort: β = -0.01, p = 0.73). Our findings across two independent cohorts suggest a relationship between systemic inflammation and dopaminergic degeneration in patients with PD. This relationship was mainly driven by the lymphocyte count. © 2023 The Authors.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007249 Inflammation A pathological process characterized by injury or destruction of tissues caused by a variety of cytologic and chemical reactions. It is usually manifested by typical signs of pain, heat, redness, swelling, and loss of function. Innate Inflammatory Response,Inflammations,Inflammatory Response, Innate,Innate Inflammatory Responses
D010300 Parkinson Disease A progressive, degenerative neurologic disease characterized by a TREMOR that is maximal at rest, retropulsion (i.e. a tendency to fall backwards), rigidity, stooped posture, slowness of voluntary movements, and a masklike facial expression. Pathologic features include loss of melanin containing neurons in the substantia nigra and other pigmented nuclei of the brainstem. LEWY BODIES are present in the substantia nigra and locus coeruleus but may also be found in a related condition (LEWY BODY DISEASE, DIFFUSE) characterized by dementia in combination with varying degrees of parkinsonism.

D015899 Tomography, Emission-Computed, Single-Photon A method of computed tomography that uses radionuclides which emit a single photon of a given energy. The camera is rotated 180 or 360 degrees around the patient to capture images at multiple positions along the arc. The computer is then used to reconstruct the transaxial, sagittal, and coronal images from the 3-dimensional distribution of radionuclides in the organ. The advantages of SPECT are that it can be used to observe biochemical and physiological processes as well as size and volume of the organ. The disadvantage is that, unlike positron-emission tomography where the positron-electron annihilation results in the emission of 2 photons at 180 degrees from each other, SPECT requires physical collimation to line up the photons, which results in the loss of many available photons and hence degrades the image.
