Abstract

Objective: The goal of the current investigation was to explore whether salivary DJ-1 could be a potential biomarker for monitoring disease progression in Parkinson's disease (PD) by evaluating the association between salivary DJ-1 concentrations and nigrostriatal dopaminergic function.

Methods: First, in 74 patients with PD and 12 age-matched normal controls, single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging with labeled dopamine transporters (DAT) (99mTc-TRODAT-1), which has been used for measuring DAT density in PD was prformed. Then, the DJ-1 level in their saliva was analyzed by quantitative and sensitive Luminex assay and compared to caudate or putamen DAT density. Finally, based on the above, our cross-section study was carried out in 376 research volunteers (285 patients with PD and 91 healthy controls) to measure salivary DJ-1 level.

Results: From our analysis, we found a correlation between salivary concentration of DJ-1 and putamen nucleus uptake of 99mTc-TRODAT-1 in the PD group. Although salivary DJ-1 levels were not affected by UPDRS scores, gender, age, and pharmacotherapy, DJ-1 levels in H&Y 4 stage of PD were higher than those in H&Y 1-3 stage as well as those in healthy controls. Salivary DJ-1 also decreased significantly in mixed type PD patients compared to the tremor-dominant type (TDT) and akinetic-rigid dominant type (ARDT) PD patients.

Conclusions: According to the investigation in a large cohort, we reported for the first time the prognostic potential of the salivary DJ-1 as a biomarker for evaluating nigrostriatal dopaminergic function in PD.

<bold>Objective:</bold>
The goal of the current investigation was to explore whether salivary DJ-1 could be a potential biomarker for monitoring disease progression in Parkinson's disease (PD) by evaluating the association between salivary DJ-1 concentrations and nigrostriatal dopaminergic function.</p>
<p>
<bold>Methods:</bold>
First, in 74 patients with PD and 12 age-matched normal controls, single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging with labeled dopamine transporters (DAT) (
<sup>99m</sup>
Tc-TRODAT-1), which has been used for measuring DAT density in PD was prformed. Then, the DJ-1 level in their saliva was analyzed by quantitative and sensitive Luminex assay and compared to caudate or putamen DAT density. Finally, based on the above, our cross-section study was carried out in 376 research volunteers (285 patients with PD and 91 healthy controls) to measure salivary DJ-1 level.</p>
<p>
<bold>Results:</bold>
From our analysis, we found a correlation between salivary concentration of DJ-1 and putamen nucleus uptake of
<sup>99m</sup>
Tc-TRODAT-1 in the PD group. Although salivary DJ-1 levels were not affected by UPDRS scores, gender, age, and pharmacotherapy, DJ-1 levels in H&Y 4 stage of PD were higher than those in H&Y 1-3 stage as well as those in healthy controls. Salivary DJ-1 also decreased significantly in mixed type PD patients compared to the tremor-dominant type (TDT) and akinetic-rigid dominant type (ARDT) PD patients.</p>
<p>
<bold>Conclusions:</bold>
According to the investigation in a large cohort, we reported for the first time the prognostic potential of the salivary DJ-1 as a biomarker for evaluating nigrostriatal dopaminergic function in PD.</p>

<title>Introduction</title>
<p>Parkinson disease (PD), the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, affects approximately 1.6% of the population over the age of 65 (Wright Willis et al.,
<xref rid="B25" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>
). About 70% of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra are lost prior to the development of the characteristic motor symptoms of PD (Sherer,
<xref rid="B15" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>
). Consequently, an early diagnosis of PD is difficult, by virtue of the dependence upon clinical features. Therefore, the identification of useful biomarkers to make an early diagnosis, or for monitoring progression, of PD is needed (Jankovic,
<xref rid="B8" ref-type="bibr">2008</xref>
; Haas et al.,
<xref rid="B4" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>
).</p>
<p>Positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with radiotracer imaging in the presynaptic nigrostriatal dopaminergic system has enabled the study of nigrostriatal dopaminergic degeneration in PD patients, a technique with excellent reproducibility for improving clinical diagnosis, monitor disease progression, and evaluate the efficacy of putative neuroprotective therapies (Marek et al.,
<xref rid="B12" ref-type="bibr">2001</xref>
; Stoessl,
<xref rid="B19" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>
).
<sup>99m</sup>
Tc-TRODAT-1, developed by Kung et al. (
<xref rid="B10" ref-type="bibr">1997</xref>
), has high affinity and selectivity for Dopamine transporters (DAT), which are located in dopaminergic nerve terminals and mediate dopamine reuptake. In addition to its clinical advantages, such as stability and low toxicity,
<sup>99m</sup>
Tc-TRODAT-1 SPECT imaging has excellent test/retest reproducibility for longitudinal evaluation of nigrostriatal dopaminergic function in PD patients (Hwang et al.,
<xref rid="B7" ref-type="bibr">2004</xref>
).</p>
<p>In recent years, a number of biochemical molecules, such as α-synuclein, DJ-1, tau, etc., in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood have been studied as potential biomarkers of PD (Hong et al.,
<xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>
; Waragai et al.,
<xref rid="B22" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>
), (Mollenhauer et al.,
<xref rid="B13" ref-type="bibr">2006</xref>
; Waragai et al.,
<xref rid="B21" ref-type="bibr">2007</xref>
). It has been reported that CSF DJ-1 levels in the early stage of PD were significantly higher than those in the advanced stage of PD and non-PD controls (Waragai et al.,
<xref rid="B23" ref-type="bibr">2006</xref>
). However, another study that included a larger cohort of subjects demonstrated that CSF DJ-1 levels were decreased in PD patients vs. controls (Hong et al.,
<xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>
). Moreover, it has also been shown that plasma DJ-1 levels in PD patients were higher than those in control patients (Waragai et al.,
<xref rid="B21" ref-type="bibr">2007</xref>
), although another study did not find a difference between PD and control patients (Maita et al.,
<xref rid="B11" ref-type="bibr">2008</xref>
). These conflicting results are likely due to the limited numbers of patients, lacking of an efficient detection method, or biofluid contamination.</p>
<p>Our collaborators have demonstrated that DJ-1 was present in human saliva in both PD patients and normal controls (NC) (Devic et al.,
<xref rid="B2" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>
). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups. It is still not clear whether salivary DJ-1 could be a useful indicator to monitor the progression of PD. In the present study, we measured salivary levels of DJ-1, followed by analyzing its correlation with DAT, quantified by
<sup>99m</sup>
Tc-TRODAT-1 SPECT. Secondly, this study analyzed a large cohort of subjects to further investigate salivary DJ-1 as a potential biomarker of PD.</p>

<title>Participants</title>
<p>This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine. All subjects provided their written informed consent for the participation in the study and underwent a thorough evaluation by obtaining a medical history, physical history, laboratory tests, neurological examinations, and neuropsychological assessments performed by multiple rating scales, including UPDRS (Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale), MMSE (the mini–mental state examination), the HAMD-17 (17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression), SCOPA-AUT and REM Sleep Behavior Disorder scales. In addition, UPDRS motor scores were assessed when patients were in the “on” state. The diagnosis of PD patients was made by at least two senior movement disorder specialists in accordance with the UK PD Society Brain Bank Clinical Diagnostic Criteria of PD (Hughes et al.,
<xref rid="B6" ref-type="bibr">1992</xref>
). Recruited control subjects were from the Shanghai Wuliqiao community and were matched for age and sex with the former two disease groups, who had no history or any signs or symptoms suggesting Parkinson-plus syndrome, cognitive impairment, or other neurological diseases. Exclusion criteria included moderate or heavy cigarette smoking (more than 10 packs/year), alcohol use, and any psychotherapeutic drug use.</p>

<title>Saliva sample collection and preparation</title>
<p>All saliva samples were collected as described previously with minor modifications based on the suggestion from our collaborator, Professor Jing Zhang at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA, USA (Devic et al.,
<xref rid="B2" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>
). All collection procedures were performed between 9:00 and 11:00 am to avoid any potential confounding effects of circadian rhythm. The subjects were fasted 60 min prior to sample collection. Five minutes before the collection, each subject rinsed his mouths with water for 3 min to remove any excess tissue or debris. The subject was told to tilt his head forward to accumulate his saliva in the mouth and each sample was collected in a 15 ml pre-chilled vial and kept in the ice before further processing. Saliva samples were collected in a resting and unstimulated state (i.e., no food, chewing gum, etc.). When extracting the protein, Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (100 μl/1 ml of whole saliva, Cat# P2714, Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) was added to the sample to minimize protein degradation, and the sample was vortexed repeatedly followed by two centrifugations. The initial centrifugation was at a low rate of 2600 × g for 15 min at 4°C. The precipitate was preserved and stored at −80°C. The supernatant was subject to a second centrifugation at a high rate of 15,000 × g for 15 min at 4°C. Again, the precipitate was preserved and stored at −80°C and the supernatant was then divided into 0.5 ml aliquots and stored at −80°C before analysis. The total salivary protein concentration was measured using a bicinchoninic acid (BCA) protein assay kit (Pierce, Rockford, IL, USA).</p>

<italic>Coupling of primary antibody to magnetic COOH beads</italic>
</bold>
. Magnetic COOH beads (Cat# MC10052-01, Bio-Rad, USA) were chemically coupled with a rabbit polyclonal PARK7 (DJ-1) antibody (Cat# Ab18257, Abcam, USA) with the amine coupling kit (Cat# 171-406001, Bio-Rad, USA) according to the manufacture's protocol (Figure
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SM1">S1</xref>
). Briefly, 100 μl beads were activated with 10 μl EDC (1-ethyl-3-[3-dimethylaminopropyl], 50 mg/ml) and Sulfo-NHS (N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide, 50 mg/ml) in the ProteOn™ Amine Coupling Kit (Cat# 1762410, Bio-Rad, USA). Ten to Twenty μg of primary antibodies were added to the activated beads and incubated for 2 h. The coupled beads were re-suspended in 150 μl of storage buffer or an alternate storage buffer to complement the protein assay. Determination of the bead concentration was performed using a Coulter Z2 counter or a hemocytometer to validate the efficiency of the coupling reaction. The coupled beads were then stored at 4°C and covered with aluminum foil.</p>

</bold>
. Salivary DJ-1 levels were measured using established Luminex assays as described previously, with minor modifications (Devic et al.,
<xref rid="B2" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>
) Briefly, 50 μl of capture antibody-coupled beads (about 2500 beads per well) were added to 96 well Bio-Plex Pro Flat Bottom Plates (Cat# 171025001, Bio-Rad, USA) and washed twice using the reagent kit (Cat# 171304071, Bio-Rad, USA). Then, 50 μl diluent recombinant human DJ-1 (Covance, USA) were used as standards, and saliva samples, diluted in equal sample dilution, were loaded on the magnetic plate with incubation for 2 h at 1000 rpm on a plate shaker at room temperature in the dark, followed by washing the plate three times in succession. Subsequently, detecting antibodies (0.1 μg/ml, biotinylated anti-human DJ-1 antibody, Cat#BAF3995, R&D systems, USA) were added at 50 μl per well on a rotator at room temperature for 60 min followed by washing three times, and the streptavidin-PE was diluted with assay buffer in the reagent kit for 30 min. The plate was then washed three times and each well received 125 μl assay buffer, followed by shaking for 3 min and then read via Liquichip Luminex 200TM. The concentration of samples was calculated by comparison to a best-fit standard curve using a sigmoidal 5-parameter logistic equation (Figures
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SM1">S1</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SM1">S2</xref>
). The salivary DJ-1 signal-to-background ratio was 64. The recovery rate was close to 81% and coefficient of variation (CV) in duplicate was less than 20%. Finally, the Luminex assay demonstrated low day-to-day as well as plate-to-plate signal variability (<10%), with high signal reproducibility (Figures

<p>All subjects were prohibited from any pharmacotherapy affecting the experimental curative effect observation (particularly dopamine-specific drugs) within the 48 h prior to receiving an intravenous injection of 2 ml containing 20 mCi of
<sup>99m</sup>
Tc-TRODAT-1 in an antecubital peripheral vein. The binding to DAT was assessed with SPECT imaging 2 h after injection.
<sup>99m</sup>
Tc-TRODAT-1 was prepared from a pre-formulated lyophilized kit provided by Jiangsu Nuclear Medicine Institute (WuXi city, China). Subjects were put on the scanning bed in the supine position with a head holder to avoid motion artifact. All images were acquired via a double-headed gamma camera (Simens, Symbia T16). The energy window was 140 ± 14 keV, and a matrix of 128 × 128 in circular orbit with step and shoot movements of 64 steps used for each head, with a diameter and degree of rotation of 30 cm and 360°, respectively. Acquisition time for the projection was 30 s, with a zoom of 1.45 and a slice thickness of 3 mm. Each patient also underwent brain MRI (1.5 T, Siemens) with 3 mm cuts at the level of the basal ganglia. The MRI study was performed to establish a reference for the determination of regions of interest (ROIs) for the uptake of

-test for continuous variables if data was not normally distributed. Additionally, to determine whether a relationship among variables was present, we used an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model after rank transformation of the non-normal data to control for potential contributions secondary to outliers. The analyses were done with and without adjustment for potential confounding of the baseline variables—i.e., age, gender. To determine whether a relationship among variables was present, we obtained the non-parametric spearman correlation coefficients. All values were expressed as mean ± SD. A two-tailed

<p>Although there was no statistically significant difference between the levels of salivary DJ-1 and UPDRS scores in a previous study (Devic et al.,

Tc-TRODAT-1 SPECT, a method that has already proved its important role in the diagnosis and progression of PD, to evaluate salivary DJ-1 as novel potential biomarker reflecting nigrostriatal dopaminergic function. As a pilot study, we recruited 12 healthy controls and 74 PD patients, who were matched for age and sex in the two groups (Table

<title>Salivary DJ-1 in healthy controls and patients with PD in larger cohort</title>
<p>Since the above results demonstrated that salivary DJ-1 correlated with striatal dopaminergic function, indicating a potential value in the diagnosis of PD, we sought to confirm this finding in a larger cohort of patients. To accomplish this, 285 PD patients (171 men, 114 women) were recruited for the study. The demographic data is listed in Table
<xref ref-type="table" rid="T2">2</xref>
, of which the amount of DJ-1 in different groups was quantified by Luminex assay. The results demonstrated that there was no statistically significant difference in DJ-1 levels in the PD group compared to the NC group (Figure
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">2A</xref>
), which was consistent with a previous report (Devic et al.,
<xref rid="B2" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>
). In addition, we evaluated the correlation between DJ-1 levels and UPDRS scores of 285 PD patients, and found that the correlation was of no statistical significance, even after normalization (Figure
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">2B</xref>
). Since there was no difference in salivary DJ-1 levels between PD and NC, we further evaluated whether or not gender, age, or therapeutics affected DJ-1 levels. We found no correlation between gender, age and DJ-1 levels in PD and NC groups (Figures
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">2C,D</xref>
). Furthermore, no correlation was found between therapeutic use and DJ-1 levels, whether normalized or not (Figure

<title>Alteration of salivary DJ-1 in different stages and clinical subtypes of PD</title>
<p>Since salivary DJ-1 did not correlate with UPDRS scores, we sought to stratify salivary DJ-1 levels by disease stage or clinical subtype. To determine whether salivary DJ-1 levels were altered during the course of disease, PD patients were divided into different groups according to Hoehn & Yahr (H&Y) stages. After adjustment for age and gender, the results revealed that salivary DJ-1 levels in H&Y-4 stage of PD were higher than those in H&Y 1-3 stage (Figure
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">3A</xref>
). Moreover, DJ-1 levels in H&Y-4 stage were higher than those in healthy controls (Figure
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">3A</xref>
). These results suggested that salivary DJ-1 might be a potential biomarker for monitoring disease progression.</p>

PD patients were classified as tremor-dominant type (TDT), if the tremor score was at least twice the non-tremor score.

The remaining patients, in whom the tremor and non-tremor scores differed by less than a factor of 2, were classified as mixed type (MT).

<p>In addition, previous studies have shown that different subtypes of PD may have different disease progression (Kumru et al.,

<xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>
). In our study, 285 PD patients were divided into the above three subtypes, according to the criteria developed by Carsten Eggers et al. (
<xref rid="B3" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>
). After adjustment for age and gender, we found that salivary DJ-1 decreased significantly in MT patients compared to TDT and ARDT patients (Figure

<title>Discussion</title>
<p>To our knowledge, this study is the first to measure salivary DJ-1 in a large cohort of PD patients and healthy individuals. The present investigation has resulted in several major advances. Firstly, although our results demonstrated that DJ-1 levels in the saliva were not changed significantly in PD patients compared with NC, salivary DJ-1 levels were weakly associated with putamen uptake of
<sup>99m</sup>
Tc-TRODAT-1 in PD patients. Secondly, several factors critical to DJ-1 levels in saliva were determined, including the influence of gender, age, and drug effects. Lastly, we observed a significant difference in salivary DJ-1 levels in PD patients based on different disease stages and clinical subtypes.</p>
<p>Saliva is an extraordinary medium in terms of research and diagnostic possibilities (Zhang et al.,
<xref rid="B26" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>
). Discovery of salivary biomarkers offers an easy, inexpensive, safe, and non-invasive alternative to blood/CSF for the detection of disease. Although great progress has been made in the research on salivary biomarkers (Bonne and Wong,
<xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>
), there are limited studies in PD patients. DJ-1 is detectable in both cellular (pellet) and acellular (supernatant) components of saliva, and multiple potential sources may contribute to DJ-1 in saliva. The human submandibular gland which is linked to the central nervous system, as the main source of the saliva, has recently been shown to be involved by synucleinopathy in the early stages of PD. Cheek epithelium, which forms the majority of the cellular component of saliva, could be another potential sources of salivary DJ-1 (Stewart et al.,
<xref rid="B18" ref-type="bibr">2014</xref>
). Devic's study has demonstrated that DJ-1 was detectable in human saliva, suggesting that saliva could be a potentially important diagnostic sample source for PD diagnosis or monitoring (Devic et al.,
<xref rid="B2" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>
), (Wang et al.,
<xref rid="B20" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>
). To further evaluate the clinical value of salivary DJ-1 for PD diagnosis, we conducted a large cohort study with a total of 376 individuals.</p>
<p>In a previous study (Devic et al.,
<xref rid="B2" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>
), DJ-1 levels in saliva were estimated to be 185.7 ± 339 ng/ml in PD patients and 128 ± 116.4 ng/ml in controls. In contrast, our findings showed that the concentration of salivary DJ-1 in PD and controls were 4.11 ± 5.87 and 3.86 ± 5.44 ng/ml, respectively. The discrepancy between the two studies could be due to several major differences between the two investigations. The different capture antibodies might detect different species of DJ-1. Also, in the current investigation, a much larger cohort (91 NC vs. 285 patients with PD) was studied, thus allowing adequate power to resolve several potential factors which may significantly affect salivary DJ-1 levels.</p>
<p>In our study, we found a weak correlation between salivary DJ-1 levels with putamen uptake of
<sup>99m</sup>
Tc-TRODAT-1 in 74 PD patients, which was inconsistent with the previous study, in which there was no correlation between CSF DJ-1 and PET measures of striatal DA function in total of 26 LRRK2 mutation carriers (Shi et al.,
<xref rid="B16" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>
). The different capture antibodies and patients with different genotype may contribute to the difference.</p>
<p>In the present study, no relationship between DJ-1 levels and total UPDRS scores was identified. Nevertheless, we found that salivary DJ-1 levels in the advanced stage of PD were significantly higher than those in the early stage of PD, which is similar to plasma DJ-1 results (Waragai et al.,
<xref rid="B21" ref-type="bibr">2007</xref>
). As the disease progresses, the DJ-1 in saliva and plasma are increased, reflecting the involved process of increasing oxidative stress in advancing stages of PD (Winkler-Stuck et al.,
<xref rid="B24" ref-type="bibr">2005</xref>
; Waragai et al.,
<xref rid="B21" ref-type="bibr">2007</xref>
; Wang et al.,
<xref rid="B20" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>
).</p>
<p>In this study, we studied potential confounders that might affect the generation of salivary DJ-1. Age and gender dependence were analyzed in both PD and control samples. Of note, we found no association of DJ-1 levels with gender or age, which is inconsistant with a recent report that found DJ-1 levels in the CSF increased significantly as a function of age (Hong et al.,
<xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>
). We also collected information on drug treatment and analyzed the potential effects of pharmacotherapy on salivary DJ-1 level. Neither did we find that DJ-1 values in the different groups were any statistically significant difference. Pharmacotherapy did not affect salivary DJ-1 levels either. However, it remains unknown whether the activity of DJ-1 generation is influenced by other factors. For example, it is important to study the effects of drug dose on salivary DJ-1 levels, however, similar to the research on CSF DJ-1 mentioned before, it is rather difficult to obtain accurate cumulative dosage of drug treatment in an investigation due to alterations of both the types of medication and the dosage of all drugs taken over time (Hong et al.,
<xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>
).</p>
<p>PD can be classified into different clinical subtypes based on clinical features and pathogenic mechanisms. The different subtypes exhibit distinct disease courses, drug therapy responses and prognosis (Shih et al.,
<xref rid="B17" ref-type="bibr">2007</xref>
; Eggers et al.,
<xref rid="B3" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>
). For instance, motor function deteriorates more rapidly in ARDT than TDT cases (Kumru et al.,
<xref rid="B9" ref-type="bibr">2007</xref>
). The underlying mechanisms for the different subtypes are not yet clear. In our study, DJ-1 levels in saliva in the mixed PD subtype, which one would expect to be the intermediate subtype between ARDT and TDT subtypes, decreased significantly compared to both the TDT and ARDT patients. And the fact that the smaller number of patients included in TDT groups of PD may explain the result. In spite of it, our study indicated that different clinical subtypes might have different mechanisms for disease progression. This finding may help improve strategic planning of therapy or providing a predictor for disease prognosis.</p>
<p>In the scope of this study, we have not evaluated the salivary DJ-1 levels in other parkinsonian disorders whose symptoms may overlap with sporadic PD clinically, such as ET, PSP, and MSA, etc. Further studies with disease control for important confounding factors are necessary to determine whether salivary DJ-1 could differentiate PD from those related disorders.</p>
<p>In summary, our data indicated that DJ-1 in saliva as a potential diagnostic biomarker is not for distinguishing PD patients from healthy controls in a large cohort. Neither was it influenced by gender, age, and pharmacotherapy. The DJ-1 levels in saliva were well correlated with the different disease stages, thus could be useful for evaluating disease progression and different clinical subtypes of PD.</p>
