Abstract: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder and there is no cure for it. After clinical diagnosis, none of the existing pharmacologic treatments can stop the disease's advance. Moreover, there is not currently biomarker that can help early diagnose of PD. This work aspires to contribution in the seeking effective biomarkers for the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. In this study, we statistically analyzed plasma and cerebrospinal liquid cytokines levels using clinical data from the BioFIND study. IL-1b, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-a and IFN¿ were analyzed using inferential statistics to determine associations between variables. Then, correlation studies between these cytokines and a-synuclein or post-translational modifications of tubulin were carried out. Correlation studies between cytokines and clinical symptoms assessed by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test or The Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder Screening Questionnaire (RBDSQ) were analyzed in the cohort of study. Levels of plasmatic metabolites between control subjects and PD patients were also studied. Finally, a logistic regression model was built based on the polyamines ornithine, putrescine, and N-acetylputrescine besides clinical symptoms to predict the probability of developing PD. Taken together, the current study sheds light on the neuroinflammation process associated with PD and adds new insights on the physiopathology of the disease.
