    Aim Several pathophysiological processes are involved in Parkinson's disease (PD) and could inform in vivo biomarkers. We assessed an established biomarker panel, validated in Alzheimer's Disease, in a PD cohort. Methods Longitudinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from PPMI (252 PD, 115 healthy controls, HC) were analyzed at six timepoints (baseline, 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 months follow-up) using Elecsys® electrochemiluminescence immunoassays to quantify neurofilament light chain (NfL), soluble TREM2 receptor (sTREM2), chitinase-3-like protein 1 (YKL40), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), S100, and total alpha-synuclein (alphaSyn). Results alphaSyn was significantly lower in PD (mean 103 pg/ml vs. HC: 127 pg/ml, p0.05) and none showed a significant difference longitudinally. We found significantly higher levels of all these markers between PD patients who developed cognitive decline during follow-up, except for alphaSyn and IL-6. Conclusion Except for alphaSyn, the additional biomarkers did not differentiate PD and HC, and none showed longitudinal differences, but most markers predict cognitive decline in PD during follow-up.
