abstract = {Huntington's disease (HD) is a devastating
neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a selective loss
of striatal medium spiny projection neurons (MSNs).
Prodynorphin (PDYN) is enriched in a subpopulation of
striatal MSNs. Postmortem brains of HD patients and rodent
models have been demonstrated to have reduced levels of PDYN
transcripts and the neuropeptide dynorphin.Given the unmet
need for novel pharmacodynamic HD biomarkers in the context
of experimental huntingtin (htt)-lowering therapies, we
investigated the levels of PDYN-derived peptides and
neurofilament light (NfL) chain in the cerebrospinal fluid
(CSF) from HD patients (n = 16), matched controls (n = 55),
and patients with other neurodegenerative disorders (n =
70).PDYN-derived peptide levels were found to be
substantially decreased in HD patients (P < 0.0001 in
comparison to controls), whereas the NfL levels were
elevated in all neurodegenerative disorders.Our study
suggests decreased PDYN-derived peptide levels in the CSF as
a more specific biomarker for HD in comparison to NfL. ©
