Plasma inflammatory biomarkers for Huntington’s disease patients and mouse model

Highlights • Increased plasma IL-6, MMP-9, VEGF, and TGF-β1 in HD patients. • Decreased IL-18 plasma levels in HD patients. • Plasma IL-6 reversely correlates with independence scale and functional capacity. • Alterations of the inflammatory markers were found in R6/2 mice at different ages. • These...

Summary:Highlights • Increased plasma IL-6, MMP-9, VEGF, and TGF-β1 in HD patients. • Decreased IL-18 plasma levels in HD patients. • Plasma IL-6 reversely correlates with independence scale and functional capacity. • Alterations of the inflammatory markers were found in R6/2 mice at different ages. • These inflammatory markers may serve as the potential biomarkers for HD.
