Insulin Resistance in Multiple System Atrophy
Ključne riječi
Sažetak
Opis
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) patients have a poor prognosis with a median survival ranging between 6 and 10 years. MSA belongs to the synucleinopathies, which are characterized by the abnormal accumulation of alpha-synuclein. We have recently shown brain insulin resistance (i.e. reduced insulin signaling) in post-mortem brain tissue of MSA patients and transgenic MSA mice, as illustrated by increased protein levels of insulin receptor substrate-1 phosphorylated at serine 312 (IRS-1pS312). Additionally, exendin-4, an approved anti-diabetic drug targeting glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors, was capable of decreasing brain levels of IRS-1pS312 and preserving dopamine neurons in transgenic MSA mice. We further observed an inverse correlation between plasma neural-derived exosomal IRS-1pS312 levels and survival of dopamine neurons in transgenic MSA mice.
The aim of this study is to further characterize peripheral and central insulin resistance in MSA patients, thereby validating this target for future treatment trials. For this purpose, fasting blood glucose and insulin levels will be determined in samples of MSA patients and healthy controls for a homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA). Additionally, IRS-1pS312 will be measured in neural-derived plasma exosomes of MSA patients and healthy controls.
