We did not observe any significant effect of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E co-supplementation on gene expression of interleukin-1 (IL-1) and IL-8 in PBMC of patients with PD.
Elevation in serum interleukin 8 (IL-8) and Parkinson disease 7 (PARK7) levels had significant connection with higher risk of developing ALI (<i>P</i> = .006; <i>P</i> = .0001).
After the 12-week intervention, compared with the placebo, probiotic intake downregulated gene expression of interleukin-1 (IL-1) (P = 0.03), IL-8 (P < 0.001) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) (P=0.04) in PBMC of subjects with PD.
Multivariate analysis accounting for these and other potential confounders confirmed elevated levels of interleukin-1α and CXCL8 and also revealed increased interleukin-1β and C-reactive protein in stool in Parkinson's disease.
PD and HC subjects showed significantly different relationships between CSF Aβ proteins and α-synuclein and specific inflammatory factors, and CSF IFNγ and serum IL-8 positively correlated with clinical measures of PD.
The association between interleukin 8 and GBA mutation status was replicated (P = .03) in a separate cohort of patients having PD with vs without GBA mutations.
For the first time, the multilocus approach by the set-association method has been applied for the analysis of a cluster of five genes [tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin 6 (IL-6), IL-8, IL-1alpha and IL-10] involved in the brain neuroinflammatory pathway in Parkinson's disease (PD), in a well-defined group of 197 PD patients and 173 control subjects from Spain.
