Lower serum BDNF levels may serve as a useful clinical biomarker for depression in PD patients, particularly in those with depression. Levels of BDNF were significantly associated with motor severity and gender in depressed PD patients, with women showing a stronger correlation.
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of serum Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels for discriminating PD with depression from without depression, and to investigate whether serum BDNF levels were associated with motor severity and gender in depressed PD patients. Methods Demographic and clinical data were collected from 122 PD patients with depression, 137 without depression and 110 healthy controls. All participants' serum BDNF concentrations were measured. Their motor abilities and activity were assessed by the Unified PD Rating Scale Part III (UPDRS III) score and the Hoehn and Yahr (H-Y) stage. Depression was scored using the 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD-17). Associations were analyzed with multivariate regression. Results The serum BDNF levels were lower in depressed PD patients compared to non-depressed PD patients and controls (p < 0.001). The BDNF levels were negatively correlated with UPDRS III score (r = - 0.54, p < 0.001) and H-Y stage (r = - 0.45, p < 0.001). Decreased BDNF levels were associated with women only among depressed PD patients (r = 0.45, p < 0.001). The HAMD-17 score was negatively correlated with BDNF levels (r = - 0.59, p < 0.001), and positively associated with UPDRS III score (r = 0.51, p < 0.001). Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that in the depressed PD patients, female, H-Y stage and UPDRS III score were independent contributors to the BDNF levels (p < 0.001; p = 0.006; p = 0.03, respectively), BDNF and UPDRS III score were independent contributors to HAMD-17 score (p < 0.001, p = 0.01, respectively). Conclusions Decreased serum BDNF levels may be a useful clinical biomarker of depression in PD patients. Serum BDNF may serve as a potential biomarker for motor severity of PD patients with depression, especially in female.
