Sumario: | Oxidative stress has been implied in cellular injury even in the early phases of multiple sclerosis (MS). In this study, we quantified levels of biomarkers of oxidative stress and antioxidant capacity in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in newly diagnosed MS patients and their associations with brain atrophy and iron deposits in the brain tissue. Consecutive treatment-naive adult MS patients (n = 103) underwent brain MRI and CSF sampling. Healthy controls (HC, n = 99) had brain MRI. CSF controls (n = 45) consisted of patients with non-neuroinflammatory conditions. 3T MR included isotropic T1 weighted (MPRAGE) and gradient echo (GRE) images that were processed to quantitative susceptibility maps. The volume and magnetic susceptibility of deep gray matter (DGM) structures were calculated. The levels of 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), 8-iso prostaglandin F2α (8-isoPG), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), peroxiredoxin-2 (PRDX2), and malondialdehyde and hydroxyalkenals (MDA + HAE) were measured in CSF. Compared to controls, MS patients had lower volumes of thalamus, pulvinar, and putamen, higher susceptibility in caudate nucleus and globus pallidus, and higher levels of 8-OHdG, PRDX2, and MDA + HAE. In MS patients, the level of NGAL correlated negatively with volume and susceptibility in the dentate nucleus. The level of 8-OHdG correlated negatively with susceptibility in the caudate, putamen, and the red nucleus. The level of PRDX2 correlated negatively with the volume of the thalamus and both with volume and susceptibility of the dentate nucleus. From MRI parameters with significant differences between MS and HC groups, only caudate susceptibility and thalamic volume were significantly associated with CSF parameters. Our study shows that increased oxidative stress in CSF detected in newly diagnosed MS patients suggests its role in the pathogenesis of MS. |
