Abstract The plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1)→mature brain-derived neurotrophic factor (mBDNF) pathway plays a pivotal role in the conversion of probrain-BDNF (ProBDNF) to mBDNF, but its clinical relevance in patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD) remains unknown. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were used to examine the relevant protein levels of components of the PAI-1→mBDNF pathway in plasma samples from three groups of subjects, and statistical analysis was performed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and one-way repeated-measures ANOVA. Our findings revealed significant alterations induced by alcohol. (1) AUD was associated with significant decreases in tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), mBDNF, and tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB); significant increases in PAI-1, ProBDNF, and P75 neurotrophin receptor (P75NTR); and inhibited conversion of ProBDNF to mBDNF. (2) Following abstinence, the levels of tPA, mBDNF, and TrkB in the AUD group significantly increased, whereas the levels of PAI-1, ProBDNF, and P75NTR significantly decreased, promoting the conversion of ProBDNF to mBDNF. These clinical outcomes collectively suggest that AUD inhibits the conversion of ProBDNF to mBDNF and that abstinence reverses this process. The PAI-1→mBDNF cleavage pathway is hypothesized to be associated with AUD and abstinence treatment. |
